Why do people fold their clothes?

1.16K 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!

It’s for space. Folded clothes take up significantly less space than unfolded clothes do.

Try filling your closet with all tshirts and pants and shorts unfolded. You’ll find you run out of space pretty quick
