Wire hangers from dry cleaners and thin plastic ones stretch shoulder seams and deform garments over months. Quality wooden or padded hangers preserve garment shape.
What to buy
Wide wooden hangers for coats and jackets. Padded hangers for delicate fabrics (silk, fine knits). Specific skirt hangers with clips. £30-50 for full wardrobe upgrade.
Worth doing once. The shoulder shape preservation alone extends garment life and improves appearance.
