There was a time when the only hangers I used were free ones. So I understand if this how you must and/or choose to live. However, this doesn't mean you need to hang on to every damn hanger that comes your way, does it? And those wire hangers from the dry cleaners? Shudder. They are not doing your clothes any favors. You can just tell by looking at the droopy arms, the saggy neckline, and those sad shoulder indentations that these clothes have lost their will to live. Please, if you care about your clothes, give them some decent hangers. Spend the money on quality and then take care of them and you'll never have to buy hangers again. BTW: while Goodwill says they throw out wire hangers, most cleaners are happy to take them back. As to how many hangers you need, that's an easy one: Enough to hang up your clothes. Oh, but what about the new clothes you'll be buying, you ask? That's an entirely different post but spoiler alert: (1.) you probably have way too many clothes already; (2.) when you bring a new item in, you should send an old one out; and (3.) we don't have to follow every fad and fancy the fashion industry seduces us with do we? They've made lots of mistakes you know: earth shoes, padded shoulders, Peter Pan collars for women over 9. There is actual joy to be found right there in your closet when your clothes hang proudly on supportive hangers, preferably matching (I'm not there yet), and with room to breath between each item. Joy, I tell you. Comments are closed.
