I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried everything when it comes to folding and organizing jeans 👖

I’ve tried hanging them - in half over a hanger and lengthwise from a pants hanger -  but hanging jeans takes up a lot of valuable space in your closet since jeans tend to be bulky, so that didn't work 🤷‍♀️ I wanted to find a way to neatly fold jeans 🙇‍♀️while saving space in my closet.

Then I learned how to fold my jeans like a pro so that my closet would stay nice and neat 🧘‍♀️ As well as saving space, there are other benefits of folding your jeans instead of hanging them:

✅Jeans don’t tend to wrinkle or stretch when you fold them
✅You can store them either in a drawer or on a shelf
✅It’s easy to quickly see and grab the pair you want
✅Folded jeans can be compressed, saving you even more space if you have limited closet or clothes storage space.

So without further ado, here are my favorite two folding methods:

The Square Method 🔳
When your jeans are folded using the square method, you can store them in a shelf, bin, box, or basket. Storing your folded jeans vertically ↕️ allows for easier access. Simply place the box of folded jeans on a closet shelf and you’ll be able to easily see and select the pair of jeans you want. No more wrestling with the stacked pile of jeans.

The Rolling Method 🗞
This method is perfect when packing your luggage! 🧳The rolling method is often referred to as Army Packing, because of its flexibility and space-saving abilities. Other benefits are that it easily adapts to any packing you've already done, and can reduce wrinkles when done in the right context.

I hope you enjoy! 💃
