Hang Pants without getting Wrinkles: Here’s How

Updated: Nov 20, 2024

Manufactured pants and dress slacks come in different materials and in many cases hanging is better than folding. Hanging extends the lifetime and prevents wrinkles for most types of pants and slacks.


Different types of pants hangers

You can find many different types of pants hangers out there. It is essential to pick the correct kind of hanger out of them. They include:


Traditional hangers

  • The traditional hanger comes in various colors and materials, including satin, velvet, metal, plastic, and wood. Although the traditional hanger is preferable for maintaining the weight of trousers, depending on the material, trousers can be simple to remove. Please continue reading to find out how to stop trousers from falling off while using a traditional hanger to hang them.


Clip and clamp hangers

  • Pants can hang without folding on clip and clamp hangers, often constructed of plastic or wood. The finest wrinkle defense comes from these hangers. Most hangers are reasonably priced. However, if you want to use one of these hangers, be sure the clamp or clip can support the weight of your trousers.


Wire hangers

  • Avoid using wire hangers at all costs if you want the finest trousers hanger. The weight of the trousers is too much for wire hangers to sustain, and consequently, the hangers will droop, and the pants will wrinkle. These hangers also have sharp edges that can cause an unintentional tear or rip.


Hanging on a classic hanger:

  1. You must lay down the pants on top of a flat surface.

  2. Match the inseams and ensure there is a crease along the front of the pant

  3. Place the bottom of the pant through the hanger opening and stop halfway

  4. Ensure bottom hem and waist are even along the hanger upon lifting the hanger

  5. Hang in closet, preferably near a cedar hanger or block to prevent moths


Hang with a clip and clamp hanger:

  • You must pick a strong clip and clamp to support your pants.

  • You can place the hanger clip about an inch away from the outside edge of your waistband. Pick a hanger that allows you to move the clips to achieve this

  • You may also clip the pants from the bottom hem and hang upside down. Hanging upside down also prevents wrinkles

    • If the pants material has a delicate fabric like leather, you need to keep some index cards in between them and the hanger clips, which offers extra protection.
