How to Fold Clothes for Organized Dresser Drawers

Empty your drawers and go through everything. Once you've decided what to keep, fold everything using a "vertical" or "file folding" method (like the one Marie Kondo uses). It works for all types of clothing, from underwear and socks to jeans and tops. Not only does this folding method keep drawers neat, it lets you see all your choices at a glance. Once you have your clothing folded into uniform rectangles, simply place them into the drawer organizers of your choice.

Fold the other side of the shirt to the center. Your shirt should now be a neat rectangle. If you are working with long sleeves, fold them down the rectangle and back up to be contained within the rectangle.

Now fold the rectangle again in either half or in thirds, depending on how long the shirt is.
