Why do people fold their clothes?

776 views

When I was younger (and didn’t have my own family), I would never fold my clothes. They would go straight from the laundry rack to my wardrobe, and literally they would be always hanging. Now that I am (a bit) older, I do fold them (I don’t know why exactly, probably marital pressure 😉 ), but I still absolutely cannot understand why we do this. It takes time, makes clothes look all crumpled, and piling them in a closed space doesn’t look to me as the best way to keep them fresh… so, are we all spending that much time on folding clothes only for space matters?!

Please, explain like I’m 5!

Sure, hanging is better than folding when it comes to preserving the look of the clothes, but it also takes up more space. A lot of people don’t have a ton of space. So we use drawers.

To put clothes in a drawer, you could either fold them neatly or just toss them all in. If you fold them neatly, you *might* end up with some creases, which don’t look too great… ***but if you just stuff them in randomly***, you get random crumply creases which look downright terrible.
