Did you know exactly what jeans you would wear today, and suddenly they let you down? Folds, creases... You can’t leave the house like this... Is this a familiar situation? And there is no time to iron them again. Of course, they were already washed and ironed!
It's a shame, of course. And the main thing is that everything can happen again if you continue to store them as before. But it’s better not to repeat your own mistakes, but to learn how to store jeans correctly.
We don't fold, we hang
Since wrinkles spoil the appearance of clothes, it is best to prevent their appearance. Is it possible to achieve this? Certainly! After all, folds are called that because they appear when folded. So, we won't do this. Moreover, jeans can be hung.
1 way
If the pants hang at their full length, there will be no problem, nor will there be any creases. Is it true, You will need special hangers with fastenings for trousers.
Advice. Position the trousers so that the fasteners catch the bottom of the legs, and the pockets and waistband are at the bottom. Make sure that the pant legs hang straight, without forming creases near the seams.
Iron your washed jeans and hang them full length in your closet. You will no longer remember the problem of the appearance of your trousers. This method is also suitable for daily use.
Method 2
Well, what if there are no special hangers? Then we will hang it differently - on hangers with crossbar.
Carefully fold the pants in half, overlapping one leg over the other. After this, throw the pant legs over the bar of the hanger and straighten it into the closet.
Pros and cons of storing on a hanger
The advantage of this method is jeans that retain their quality appearance. And at the same time, they do not require additional time for repeated ironing, and do not spoil the mood before leaving the house.
The downside of this place is that Storage on a hanger requires special conditions. These include not only the hangers that we talked about. Whatever method you choose you will also need a place to place them. Of course, you will most likely find it in a dressing room or a spacious closet.
What if you have a small wardrobe where you need to place all your clothes? Then we will act differently.
Is it possible on a shelf?
Let's say right away: you can! And on a shelf in the closet, and in a dresser drawer, you can also. It's not about where you put your pants. It is important in what form they are left for storage.
So, our goal is still the same - we do not allow creases to form. For this we will do not fold, but twist in a roll or roller.
Procedure
- Place one pant leg over the other, checking that they are positioned evenly and neatly.
- Roll up your pants. There are two ways to do this.
- 1 way. Starting from the bottom of the trousers, twist both trouser legs along the entire length into a tight and even roll.
- Method 2. Fold the legs so that their length is halved.At the same time, do not put the trouser leg on the waistband, leave it below it. Now tighten the roller. Perform this action from the bottom as well.
Advice. This option comes in handy when jeans need to be packed in a suitcase, backpack or home bag.
The length of the resulting roller will be equal to the widest part of the product - in the crotch seam of jeans. If you need to make the roll shorter, you can roll up the protruding part of the crotch before rolling, giving the legs a more even shape. Then twist as usual.
Mistakes that may cause wrinkles to reappear
Sometimes jeans owners are surprised. It seemed like the jeans were handled properly, but wrinkles still appeared. This happens in several cases:
- The trousers that remain go into the closet wet or not cool after ironing.
- Left on jeans belt.
- Pants legs are laid on top of each other carelessly, folds on them appear not at the seam, but in other places.
- Keys or other items remain in pockets.
Any of these reasons can cause the legs to become skewed, resulting in creases.
