The main things to consider when choosing between hanging or folding clothes is to assess the fabric and the clothing design. Some fabrics wrinkle when folded but are fine when hung, while some garments are too bulky to fold and need to be hung. Clothes best hung include: Overcoats, bathrobes, suits (jackets and pants), delicate fabrics that wrinkle, pleated clothes, pressed business/formal shirts, formal wear (suits and dresses), heavy costumes, linen or rayon clothes, light dresses, etc. Clothes that are usually fine folded include: A-line skirts and dresses, knitwear, t-shirts, jeans, casual pants, shorts, underwear, bras, scarves, exercise wear, socks, sweaters, heavy and embellished formal wear/dresses, etc.
