Multiple varieties of hangers
Wooden hangers
Wooden hangers are more durable than all other types of clothes hangers and 
tend to look appealing in your wardrobe. Different varieties of wood lend a 
unique look to your closet, but the benefits of hangers go beyond aesthetics.
Wooden hangers are usually wide and hold their shape, meaning they won’t 
make your clothes drop in the floor. Moreover, they last a long time no snapping 
like plastic hangers or sagging like thin wire ones and can potentially save you 
cash over the long term. Depending on the type of wood, such as cedar, 
your wooden hangers can even have pest repellent properties.
Pros:                           
 Wooden hangers do not sag.
 Balanced and prevent clothes from being stretched.
 Last a long time.
Cons:    
 Are often more expensive than all other hanger types.
 Plastic hangers
Plastic hangers are one of the most common types of hangers. Most People 
prefer them because they are relatively cheap and easy available. Plastic 
hangers also come in many sizes, including smaller widths for infant and 
children’s clothing, and a large variety of colors.
Tubular hangers
Most plastic hangers are tubular, but there are different types of hangers which 
use plastic. For example, retail stores use thick and heavy plastic hangers with a 
wire hook at the top. Denser plastic hangers with wire hooks are often more 
durable compared to tubular options, but they are also less visually appealing.
You can also find plastic hangers in smooth or notched designs. Flat designs are 
ideal for shirts while notched options help keep thin straps in place while dresses 
and tops hang in the closet. The downside to plastic is that they can lose their 
shape over time, dragging your clothing down with them. These hangers are 
suitable for multiple Shoppers on a budget, those looking for different colour 
options, or hangers that work with varied clothing sizes

 Thicker plastic hangers are not aesthetically appealing.
Velvet hangers
Velvet hangers are the easiest way to hang delicate clothing items without 
damaging them. The only attention with velvet hangers is to ensure your clothing 
items are dry before hanging. If they remain wet, the colour of the velvet can 
transfer to your clothes.
Velvet hangers are available in limited varieties, some with clips to hang skirts 
and pants and others with notches to hang delicate dresses and thin-strap tops. 
Many colours are available, too, which allows you to customize the look of your 
closet.

 Aesthetically appealing
 Won’t damage delicate clothing
 Keeps slippery fabrics from sliding off
Cons:
 Can transfer colour to wet clothing.
Metal hangers  
Metal hangers vary widely because they are often custom-made and serve as art 
pieces. Many wire hangers are iron or copper, and very thick. Wire hangers won’t 
warp or contort with heavy clothing items, and they won’t stretch out your 
clothes, either. These hangers are suitable for heavier clothing such as jackets 
and winter wear and also also perfect for “designer” closets.

 Resist warping
 Artistic appeal

 Can be expensive
 Much heavier than other types of hangers
Wire hangers                 
Often, wire hangers helps in dry cleaning shops because they are inexpensive and 
easy to find. Dry cleaning professionals send customers home their clothes with 
these hangers, and hotels often use them in room closets. You can have some in 
your closet already, but you’ve likely noticed that wire hangers tend to lose their 
shape over time. These hangers are best for Ultra-lightweight clothing items and 
temporary hanging/transportation of clothes.

 Cheap
 Easy to find/replace
 Other uses beyond hanging clothing

Scarf Hangers
To organize your scarf collections, you need scarf hangers with individual loops 
to contain each item. Whether you have heavy-weight winter scarves or 
lightweight silk ones, there’s a scarf hanger option perfect for each one.
Most of the scarf hangers will have velvet or silk covering the wood, metal, or 
plastic material of the hanger. You can preserve your scarves until you’re ready 
to wear them again, with this fabric covering. Untie your scarf, smooth it out, 
and then hang on a scarf-specific hanger.
Belt Hangers     
If you own multiple belts, you know how frustrating it is to never be able to find 
the one you want, when you want it. Belt hangers eliminate those struggles, 
keeping all your belts organized and easy to find when you need them.
Belt hangers vary in style, with some hanging the belts by their buckles and 
others using a rack to loop the belts over. Most of the belt hangers are metal or 
plastic, but some feature rubber coating or velvet non-slip fabric to keep belts in 
place. Moreover, consider the style of belt you wear often and choose the right 
hanger to suit your collection.
Tie Hangers
Storing ties can prove complicated, but there are two excellent ways to keep 
your closet tidy while ensuring your ties are ready for the next wear. First, you 
should untie them before storage to keep them wrinkle-free.
Rolling is an option for tie storage while using a tie hanger is another. Tie 
hangers are a helpful addition to your wardrobe, especially if you have more ties 
than you can wear during the workweek. Tie and belt hangers both are common, 
with fabric-covered racks or hooks holding each item.
Many hangers allow you to store multiple ties (or belts) on one rack, eliminating 
the need for numerous bulky hangers in your closet. Instead of shoving your ties 
into a drawer, you can hang them freely and ensure they remain in pristine 
condition for your next formal event.
Lingerie Hangers
Lingerie hangers can be challenging due to the slippery nature of the fabric. At 
the same time, narrow straps can make it challenging to hang undergarments 
without them falling off the hanger.
The solution for lingerie hangers lies in silk, velvet, or fabric wrapping. With 
fabric coverings, you ensure your lingerie remains in good condition, but the 
friction maintains a grip on the clothing item so it can’t slip off the hanger.
