If you’re like me, the majority of the clothes hangers in your closet are hand-me-downs from your parents or older siblings, and include a mix of cheap wire hangers from the dry cleaners and velvet hangers that snap in half when tugged too hard.
Now that I’m living in my own space (a tiny NYC apartment with an even tinier closet), finding the right clothes hangers is imperative, though, to keep my clothes organized and off the floor.
Our Top Picks
However, some hangers are specifically designed for certain clothing items, such as curved hangers that won’t cause indentations in sweaters or pants hangers that work equally well for jeans and linen trousers. For me, the best clothes hangers maximize space in my small closet, all without sacrificing convenience.

When on a quest for the best clothes hangers for my closet, I discovered that the best hangers and the best velvet hangers are one and the same. Several of The Spruce’s editors have been using these Brightroom velvet hangers from Target for years, including me. The non-slip velvet keeps us re-buying them again and again.
Velvet hangers ensure that even the silkiest of clothes stay in place, instead of creating a pile at the bottom of your closet. The uniform black, gray, or white hangers are also subtle and add an element of style, especially when you swap out your collection of different hangers for one look.
