For years, I mean years I seen people recommend those velvet-style clothes hangers. Professional organizers, normal people, everyone.
And for years, I resisted even trying them. I had a collection of plastic hangers. I liked them. They're what I've always used. Why would I change what's working for me? Besides, I liked being able to give a light tug and get my shirt off the hanger.
Then I needed hangers, not many, just a couple and the velvet ones were priced better. And I did have some boat-neck shirts and some sweaters that wouldn't stay on the plastic hangers, so I thought well, maybe I'll buy a few of these for those. There's a difference between sliding off easily when I want to wear one and sliding off when I'm grabbing a different shirt.
And OMG! I should have listened years ago. Those velvet-style hangers are awesome! My boat-neck T-shirt? Not falling to the floor when I grab a shirt hanging next to it. I'm 😍.
I'll be replacing the plastic hangers on attrition. As one breaks, a velvet-style will take it's place. If I'd just listened earlier, though, I could have mostly velvet hangers. ☹️ It was during this period where I realized I hated folding clothes sooooooooooooo much and bought hangers to move most of my clothes to the closet.
Live and learn, but I'm now part of the velvet-style hanger crowd.
