How to fold shirts:
Start by laying your shirt flat on a table or other work surface and buttoning it up. Buttoning all the buttons is best for eliminating odd wrinkles but in a pinch, just buttoning the top button, bottom button, and a few buttons in the middle will be good enough. Next, flip the shirt over to the back side and gently run your hands over it a few times just to smooth out any potential wrinkles. Take one of the shirt sleeves and fold it over making sure to create a straight fold where the sleeve of the shirt meets the body at the armhole. Next, fold that sleeve upward at about a 60 degree angle so that the cuff is parallel to the top of the collar. Of course, you're going to want to repeat these two sleeve folds with the other sleeve. Next, fold the entire shirt lengthwise into thirds making sure that all of your folds are straight and precise. Finally, fold the shirt into thirds, width wise, and that's it! You're finished. Alternatively, instead of folding widthwise, you could roll the shirt up from the bottom to the top.
Trousers:
For pants with pleats and/or a central crease on the legs, start with the pants folded on that crease. Essentially, you can think of it like a side view of the pants. Also, to make sure things are aligned here, you can check that these seams are lining up at the bottom hems. Meanwhile for pants without a crease, like denim jeans, you can start with the pants laid flat on a table or work surface and simply fold them in half at the fly. Next, take the bottom hems and fold them about a third of the way up then fold again so that the bottom fold meets the waistband, that's all there is to it! With pants, as with shirts, you can also roll from the bottom to the top instead of folding into thirds.
Jackets:
Start with the jacket unbuttoned and with its collar and lapels up. With the back side of the jacket facing up on your work surface, take the left shoulder or whichever side has a breast pocket and fold it back over the jacket about a third of the way. Next, take the right or opposite shoulder; carefully turn it inside out and bring it over the left. This may be easier to do while holding the jacket upright as opposed to on a work surface as we're showing here. The important thing is that these shoulders, lapels, and edges of the jacket should all meet up as cleanly as possible. Finally, you can either fold the jacket in half to store it flat or roll it up from the bottom to the top to eliminate one more potential wrinkle. There you have it!
With these folding techniques at your disposal then, your suitcase closet or chest of drawers should see a lot of additional space open up and your garments should only have a few wrinkles to deal with at whatever time you decide to unfold and wear them.
