How to fold a shirt, sweater, pants and more like a professional
If the new year has inspired you to get organized, an easy place to start is your closet. We're all guilty of letting our clothes pile up, but these tricks have nothing to do with purging or tossing some of your favorite items (which is music to our ears!).
In fact, just changing the way you fold or hang an item can make all the difference.
Lifestyle expert Elizabeth Mayhew shared her best tricks for folding and hanging those tricky items that cause the biggest headaches. Some are not only a pain, but also take up too much space in our dressers and cloests (like chunky sweaters and pants). These hacks are so simple, we'll be surprised if you ever go back to your original methods. You can thank us later.
