It depends what look you want to go for: if you want no creases then hang them, if you want creases then stuff them into the lining of your sofa and sit on it.

Heh

 

[leyla m.]

this is my summer closet.
i am more in love with the closet itself (which i ordered with lots of thinking) than my clothes

 

[leyla m.]

and the left side.
the middle part is hard to see but thats where i got all my pants

 

[lele]

very organized.... ")

 

[mesmerized]

leyla m. ; I like the way you organise your handbags

 

[labeladdict]

I (& my husband, he's worse than I am) am fanatical about my closet. I have a walk in u-shape. I organize by category: skirts (by length), slacks (by dress or casual), dresses (by length), blouses/shirts (by sleeve length) suits, camisols & tanks

I have a sweater cubbie with my things folded according to color (with smooth rounded edge out)

my shoes align the top right of my closet shelves (in shoe boxes with right shoe clearly visible)

my handbags align the top left of the closet shelves (by height, fabric/skin, priciest in dust bags)

Jewelry in cases on top middle shelf of the U so that I see it when I open my closet door.

scarves and misc.. shoved underneath my clothes in bags


and my husband "MrLabeladdict" ?? Remember Richard Gere's closet in American Gigolo??? Yeah that's his closet....

And in which regiment of the army did you belong?

Fortezza....I think folding jeans and storing on a shelf is better. Less harsh of a crease.

I'm not offended by your comment because I know it's fanatical. I admit it...but I can always find what I'm looking for.

Leyla... I looooove your shoe closet. Nice organizing

 

[TrailerCouture]

i fold most of my jeans except for the ones that have a crease that was rinsed in, meaning a visible crease in my wide leg citizens.

Wow, it's that cool....

I am pretty anal when it comes to my closet...it is done by color length of pants, skirts or sleeves...I don't wear a lot of color so it is either Black, white or red or pink...that is about it... I have a walk in so it is tops on one side...bottoms on the other and shoes and accessories on another wall... It looks really organized...maybe I didn't explain it very well.

I love and at the same time I'm jealous of Leya's closet

 

[As You Like It]

My house is small (bungalow) and was built in 1926, and therefore the closets are small. My husband's clothes are all in the closet in the bedroom and in the tall dresser (he wears a lot of bulky corduroys and massive overscale clothing...tell me why a man with a 29" waist wants to wear an X-large shirt???) I put my stuff out by season, so right now I have my fall and winter clothes out, and they're mostly in the closet in my sewing room. In the short dresser, I have my sweaters, and in the medium-sized dresser, I have most of my trousers, tee-shirts, tank-tops, camisols, plus all of my tights (a whole drawer of just tights?!) underpants, socks, and bras. Anything that will wrinkle noticeably in a drawer either gets hung in the closet or pressed before wearing. The little drawers on the tops of my two dressers hold sundries like gloves, scarves, shawls, bandannas, vintage lace collars, ect.

I only have two pair of shoes, in continual rotation (though I am about to get a new pair of tall Dr. Marten's ) and they stay beside the front door, so I can bomb into them on my way out to work. I use an old pair of Keds as house slippers.

My hats are mostly on a shelf in the top of my closet, though I have a few that I wear all the time hanging on pegs in the bedroom so I can just grab them down as needed, and my winter hat (not a stocking cap, but a warm, ruched, flannel bucket hat with a deep cuff brim) hangs on a peg by the front door, with my overcoat and briefcase.

I have one purse in constant use. I hate it and it is ugly as a dog's *** , but I haven't gotten around to getting anything better, so dog's-***-bag it is. I have a cool one my mom crocheted that I need to line, but it is definitely a fall bag...orange, chocolate-brown, tan, and red-with-gold-tinsel stripes with a little tassel at the bottom of either handle with wooden and brass beads. It buttons with a large wooden button. I may make myself a more acceptable purse before springtime, since I can do that kind of thing.

mines always crammed.....the rest of th room is clean (thanks to my bro who's a neat freeeeek- and makes me clean if anythings out of place) butno matter how many times i clean my closet...it always goes back to looking like sh*t!!!

nice work leyla

I don't have enough closet space!

In the bedroom I have a closet that is way too small, organised like this:

- On the left side: shelves from top to bottom, on the top shelf I have sweaters and knitwear, on the second from the top there is t-shirts and tops, on the middle shelf is jeans, and on the bottom is two baskets: one with underwear and one with socks/tights etc.

- The right side of the closet is the hanging part: I have this long thin hanging rack which keeps 7 pairs of my 'party shoes', all in their boxes with pictures on the outside. Besides that there are some pants (although I don't have that many besides jeans ), shirts and skirts. On the floor is a basket filled with scarves and accessories, on the inside of the door are pegs that keep belts and some jewellery.

- On the top of the closet is a shelf where my bags are lined up, as well as a box with belts and accessories I don't use often.

- In addition to the closet in my room, I have a small room next to the hallway that I use as a wardrobe. I have space for hanging coats and jackets and shelves for shoes, on the top shelf are everyday shoes (sneakers/boots etc), and on the ones below are shoes in their boxes (w/pictures). In this room I also store off-season clothes in suitcases.
