HOW TO ORGANIZE PANTS

If your dressers and closets are overflowing or jumbled, you’re likely wasting so much time looking for things and also damaging your clothes as they are being jammed and snagged in your closets and dressers. So, we continue my series on clothing organization. I covered leggings organization in my previous post. Here I continue with the best ways to properly organize and store your pants to keep them wrinkle-free and maximize space. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your pants, you must purge the ones that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your pants. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your pants with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize the rest of your bottoms including skirts, shorts, leggings, and jeans.

Pants Organization

Before you start organizing your pants, I highly suggest editing your collection. You don’t want to purchase a bunch of organizing solutions to contain leggings you’re not even going to wear. I share my clothing quantities to keep guidelines in my freebie library here. My guide helps you to determine how many of each clothing item to keep based on your lifestyle and how often you are able to do laundry. I also share tips for how to keep your closets from overflowing, yet always have something to wear, here.

Hanger Options for Pants

Your pant hanger choice will depend on the configuration of your closet space. If you need to store your pants folded in half, there are pants hangers that make it easy to slip pants on and off the hanger without having to run them through the middle of a regular hanger (found here):

Wrinkle-free pant hanger options include the bar-clasp hanger like this (found here):

and the double-clasp hanger like this (found here):

A really neat option is this pants hanger which allows you to hang your pants from the belt loops (found here) (it comes in three different sizes too!):

Hanging your pants on the bar-clasp or double-clasp hangers or belt loop hangers above allows you to hang your pants full length from the waistline which is excellent for keeping them wrinkle-free. That way, on rushed mornings, you don’t have to worry about ironing.

Space-Saving Organizing Solutions

Hanging all your tops on the upper closet rod and your bottoms in the lower portion of your closet is an excellent setup for saving space. I share how to easily add an additional hanging rod to your closet in my skirt organization post here. A lot of the same organizing solutions there will work for pants as well.

Another really neat organizing solution for pants is a pants rack. It acts like a paper hanging file system. You can roll out your file cart and file through your pants to easily select the ones you need (found here):

If you have a closet with shelving installed, you can intall a pull-out pants organizer like this to the bottom of one of your shelves (found here):

And, if you don’t have horizontal shelves, you can install the same pull-out pants organizer to the sides of your closet on either the left side (found here):

… or, the right side (found here):
