How to properly fold jeans: step-by-step instructions

• Fold your jeans in half so that the front or back pockets are touching each other. This will help fold the jeans evenly and without creases. 
• Next, fold the jeans once or twice vertically. Depends on the length of the jeans and the space available in the closet.

Now let's figure out ways to stack your jeans so they are always easy to find, no problem to put on and happy to walk around. 

Method №1: Hang them on a hanger

A win-win option so you don't have to iron your jeans later and always know where to find them. You can hang your jeans from a slat and double up or hang them on a coat hanger with clothespins. In the second case, the jeans should be attached by the pant legs and hanging with the pockets down. For this, you'll need a tall closet. In the case of the bar hangers, you just have to fold the jeans in half and hang them in the closet. 

Method №2: Shelve them

Here we repeat the sales clerk's tip on how to fold your jeans compactly. First, check the pockets, then straighten them out so nothing is sticking out anywhere. Carefully spread the jeans out on a surface and fold the jeans in half, one pant leg over the other. 

Next, fold the jeans vertically in half and then again. The most important thing in this case is that the seams match each other, otherwise there will be creases and plus time spent ironing the jeans. 

Method №3. Roll up your jeans

Another option for those who have room in the closet, as in a suitcase. Repeat the steps as in the previous point and then don't fold vertically, just roll the jeans into a tube. Then find them a place of honor in your closet. Otherwise, there's a risk of hiding them between t-shirts, and dresses, and not finding them later. 

How not to fold jeans

1. Indiscriminately throw in the closet. Denim - the material is dense, but also tends to crumple. Therefore, do not treat it lightly. It is better to spend a few seconds and beautifully folded jeans, than to steam it for 10 minutes. 
2. Unevenly folding jeans. Things made of denim really like order. If you don't fold one seam to the other, there is a risk of creases. Therefore, you should not just fold jeans, but do it very carefully.
3. Folding still wet jeans. First you need to dry well, and then already hide in the closet. Otherwise, the denim will oxidize and stains may appear. How to properly and quickly dry jeans, we have already told earlier.
