The best tools for a super-streamlined, better-organized closet

I recently weeded out my overstuffed closet, donating big piles of clothes to charity. It was a sloppy and labor-intensive undertaking, but so gratifying-it's amazing how much lighter I feel after getting rid of a bunch of stuff. I've vowed to streamline my remaining wardrobe before things fall into another state of disarray, and to help the process, I'm going to invest in a complete set of uniform hangers.

Friends of mine have been preaching the virtues of those skinny flocked hangers for years. You can find them just about anywhere, and the idea is that they're much more narrow than the typical plastic or wooden hangers, which can save you a ton of space in your closet. They're roughly the width of the wire ones you pick up at most dry cleaners, only way, way more durable. Their velvety texture is gentle on clothes while acting as a grip, so you don't have to worry about silky dresses or tops sliding off. There are a bunch of different colors and shapes to choose from, and they sell clips to convert a standard suit or shirt hanger into one for skirts. I'm about to go whole hog and spring for a full set to replace all the ones I currently use, which will hopefully keep everything from devolving into a tangled mess all over again. And as a nice added bonus, I'm looking forward to chucking my mish-mash of non-coordinating hangers so my closet is less visually cluttered too.
