<p>It doesn’t much matter how you store your undies and t-shirts (though you don’t want to grab the latter from a balled-up pile in a drawer and find it covered in wrinkles). But with your nicer clothes, you do want to put them away and keep them in your closet with a little care. When you spend good money on things like sweaters and ties, you want them to last a long time and stay looking nice.</p>
<p>A few rules apply to storing all of your garments and accessories:</p>
<p>Don’t use wire hangers. They bend under the weight of a jacket and leave dimples in the shoulders, and they create a horizontal crease across the knees of trousers. Don’t use hangers at all for knit garments like sweaters, as hanging instead of folding will cause them to lose their shape.</p>
<p>When you get any item back from the dry cleaners, remove it from the plastic bag, which traps moisture and can yellow fabric over time.</p>
<p>Make sure everything is clean before you put it away, since moths go after the food stains and body oils left on dirty clothes.</p>
<p>Don’t cram your closet full. Clothes need some room to breathe, or they’ll get wrinkled.</p>
<p>Follow these guidelines, as well as those outlined above for specific items, and you’ll extend the life of your wardrobe and keep it looking sharp.</p>
