@Saitaina True! But they're not passing negative judgement on him or smth, they're just saying that his situation isn't as relatable to the average person as Amy's situation is. Which is a fair statement, I think.
The best advice that I've learnt, is to only have clothes in your wardrobe that you're actually wearing. Pack everything else away. And re-evaluate it every few months. This also helps you work out what to donate/sell.
I do something like this. I put the hangers facing on direction. If I wear it the hangers change direction. If it's been a few months and I haven't touched it I put it in a tote and if I don't look for it again in a few weeks I donate it
I agree with this so much. It freed up so much space and made me so much happier when I got rid of everything I just wasn't wearing and didn't want to wear anymore. And it's also so freeing to remember how much I don't miss any of what I cleaned out.
@Battle_Hippos11 this. I got rid of tons of clothes. Mostly because when I out them on, I frowned. i only kept clothes that either did the job or were for work.

"These clips allow us to hang up the bottom of the dress" .....AMY. My life is changed. I need more clippy hangars...I usually use them for full outfits, like a suit - if I have a top and bottom that go together, I put the bottoms in first and the top around them.
@@DaxSkrai the music at the beginning when it shows the the style theory logo. It’s like the theme song, for a while style theory was the only channel that didn’t have its theme song play at the start of the episode.
@@StellaHarwood-Marshallthey didn't say Style Theory didn't have a theme, they said it didn't have a theme that played at the start of each episode, which is true.
I also keep a small hamper in my closet, which is my donation pile. Instead of needing a big clean out or putting things back and taking up space, anything that doesn't fit or I no longer want can go straight in the hamper. Once it's full, I bag up the clothes and donate them 😊
I can't do that because of the layout of my own closet (It was essentially custom built with the rest of the house and a third of the space is blocked by a literal wall and my dresser), but that sounds like a great idea! My mom and I just store items to be donated in piles in our guest room lol 😅
I'm an expert in packing, and I've watched a bunch of "prison clothes packing/rolling tutorial" video's. The idea is to roll your clothes the same way you would with socks, put them into organisers or bags and stack those. Categories them either by sets for each say (full look for day 1, 2, etc ) or by type of clothes (pants, shirts, underwear etc). Any formal clothes or ones that you cant roll you fold regularly, also into an organisation bag. Enjoy!
One of my biggest closet/wardrobe hacks is a rotation/cycling system. I have my clothes organized by type (jackets, light jackets, long sleeves, shirts, pajama pants, pants for work, etc.), but within each type, the most recently cleaned (and thus worn) items go on one side, while the items that have yet to be worn go on the other. For hanging, the items that haven't been worn go on the left while the recently cleaned items go on the right. And for folded items, the recently cleaned items go on the bottom of the stack rather than the top. It basically ensures I'm basically always getting the most out of my wardrobe since all of my clothes are being cycled through, instead of just wearing a handful of favorites while letting some items sit for months.
If you have a lot of tank tops like me I recommend this little hack. Use a shower curtain on one side of the closet and put the tank tops on the s hooks. Helped me soooo much!!
In the most respectful way, this might be the most useful style theory video yet. I love all the style theories, but this is something ANYONE can use. It's awesome!!!
EVERYONE WITH 2X CHROMOSOMES EVEN A Y and X, CHROMASOME POSSIBLY DOES HAVE AT LEAST HAVE A SHOPPING ADDICTION😭😭😭 cause I know some guys that have a shopping addiction… (we don’t talk about them)
I've been struggling with closet organization for years now and ADHD has not made it any better. Thank you so much for making an episode on this! I've now begun my own closet cleaning sesh
In my experience you’ll end up hating those vertical hangers, because they’re a pain to get out , get the clothes you want, and put away, especially if you don’t have space to move them out flat, further they tend to still take up a ton of space near the bottom and so fail at consolidating clothes
I do okay with vertical hangers pants and belts/scarves, but I don't take the hanger off the rail. I just have enough room on the rail to access the hanger.
For real? And what happens if you wanna access one of the skirts in the middle? Now you have to unhook three of the items in order to get to the middle one which is just a hassle
@@Knap4501 I've yet to have an issue with mine. I just grab the item I need. I've yet to have other items come with it. I have 2 for skirts, 2 for bras, and 2 for tops. I've also got one with clips, which works great for pants.
Only if you get the style used in this video. There are folding, multi-hanger holders that hold more than the ones she used. It's a \|/ pattern with 6 hanger spots on each foldable arm, belt/tie hooks and a rotatable hook at the top. As long as you leave about half a hangers worth of space to open an arm you can fit a lot of stuff an a few of them.
Folding hack for packing for long trips or limited dresser/drawer space; military Ranger roll, or what I like to call the soda-can T-shirt roll. Fold hem up 2-3 inches both sides, so its rolled up. Fold left side over 1/3rd of the way, and fold sleeves back to match line of fold. Repeat on right side by folding 1/3rd of the way and folding sleeves back to match line of fold. Roll from the collar SUPER TIGHT all the way up to the hem, continue rolling OVER the hem line, and then take the hem and tuck it over the shirt to finish! Now you have more space to store in your luggage for long trips or drawer space when you're working to clear stuff out! 😁
I use the KonMari Method and fit everything in my dresser. My closet is just for stuffed animals, old cheap Halloween costumes and whatever else I can put in there… like my guitar 😅
There's a style of that multi-pants hanger that has clips instead of just bars, which would probably be better for specifically those short skirts, since then you only have one skirt-thickness of a multi-layered or pleated skirt instead of two, which would allow more space for more condensing hangers
I tried the multi hanger condensers multiple times in the past and found they did not save any space because the clothes would lay against each other, still having the same horizontal thickness as just being on the bar, but now harder to access because they are buried in other things
Honestly I would remove the doors in the closet and use bins on the shelves to make a make shift drawer bc it makes it easier to pull items you want without others coming out with it and helps to reach higher up item if you can reach for a bin much easier than a specific item. Plus removing or putting items away in a bin is easier. Also bins hide bad folding , making a closet look neater in general . It’s also great for nonfolders.
Pro tip: Analysis paralysis also hinders you during your shopping. Try to finalise the item you like as soon as you can because even though walking around every store might get you a better deal on the colour and style of clothing/footwear you wanted, you're less likely to be happy with your decision leading to you using your purchase less or with a bad mood.
Or just do what I do. My lover makes decisions when I can't. Her name is Lady Luck. Should I buy a certain pair of shoes? I got a quarter. I have 6 options for shoes? I keep a D6 handy. Was I suddenly drafted into a Mr Beast 1 to 100 video? I got a D100 as well. She can be quite fickle at times, but so far she hasn't steered me wrong. And no, I'm not Harvey Dent. Not quite rich enough to be a former DA for Gotham.
@@SealFormulaMaster Relying on luck is a double-edged sword in cases of preferences. How many times have you flipped a coin when you couldn't decide between two fast food items and after you got your answer of what the coin picked for you, you immediately wanted the other item more? You just have to pick quickly and not pull a Sheldon by letting a dice decide everything.
@@hamzasultan96 the act of letting chance decide for you is what helps, not the actual outcome of the flip/roll - you often realise what you actually want as the coin is flipping/the die is rolling... If you rigidly stick to what chance says, you'd be right in what you're saying - but if you use it as a tool to force your brain to make up its mind then it's a useful tool 😊
Okay but no matter how well organized your stuff is, if you have tons and tons of clothes, you will likely face analysis paralysis, and decision fatigue from choosing what to wear. As such another option to consider is getting rid of the clothes you don't wear very often or love the fit of as much. Loved the episode Amy!
I need an update to this episode in a year: how to maintain an organized closet. I have organized and organized and organized my closet so many times. But if those were my folded shirts, I would only choose the top, maybe 3, cause everything on the bottom would be a drag to reach. And if you have deep shelves like me, everything in the back has basically disappeared. Marie Kondo commented on this as well, saying this was common for her clients. I might be alone in this but compiling items on to one hanger makes me worried that the middle items will be a pain to take out. And more importantly will get lost since there’s so many places for my eyes to scan. I was overwhelmed just listening. Also this might just be my short girl problems, but those jeans are lost forever all the way up there. I did chuckle at the fact that the less used puffer jackets were more accessible. I do, however, feel inspired to take my tshirts and hoodies off their hangers… as soon as I think of where to put them. 🤪
Put your out of season clothes on/in the harder to reach spaces. So your thick sweaters during the summer go to the back of your deep shelves, t-shirts you wear in summer in front of those. I reorganize my closet twice a year, pack up and vacuum seal all the stuff that won’t be worn for the next few months, and bring out all the stuff that will. It also lets me see everything I own and decide if maybe something needs to be taken out of circulation all together.
I live near a desert. I don’t really have out of season clothes. I have short sleeves and 10 long sleeve shirts that I wear if I go out at night and for the 2 months a year that it gets kinda cold. I also try to put less used clothing out of reach (rain jackets, puffy jackets, etc). Anything I don’t see, I don’t use though.
Those see through containers / boxes are the way to go! Fold your clothes so they can stand upright (KonMari style) and put them in a box or drawer that you can slide out and see the full collection and all of it is within reach and not under other items that makes it difficult to get to.
I have thought about boxes that you can easily slide out. I’ve put some in my hallway closet but once you put stuff in them, they become heavy and less easy to pull out. I could put rolling shelves in but that would be costly and it would permanently damage my closet if I don’t like it. I don’t know if this is all closets are just mine but they don’t sell boxes that are the size of shelves so I end up with so much wasted space on the side or/and in front. So inefficient.
@@caffeinated_25 they sell little mini stick on wheels meant for appliances, but you can attach them to the bottom of your boxes for easier maneuverability!
I've found that doing a closet purge once per year has been helpful. Put everything in a love, like, or loathe box. Everything in the like box that hasn't been touched in a year can go (with the exception of heirloom or formal wear like suits)
18:48 i see your tank top hanger and i thought: 'hey, you can actually fit eight more tank tops on the back if you layer it!' it's slightly less efficient way if you're finding a certain tank top in a hurry, but it does save more space :D
We're here with you. Not to judge, but to relate and hear out your stylistic theories. Don't ~ boo👎~ yourself too hard in the vids. Not having enough space for all the different vibes is SUCH a mood. ❤ Thank you for the compacting ideas! Definitely gonna try some of those out.
I hope the mention of wigs means an episode on them, it's hard to know what to get, or how to know the one you get works well for you. I've had some bad experiences with wigs, which kinda sucks as my hair doesn't like to grow and i really enjoy having the long hair from a wig - when its not trying to fall off my head. Definitely think there's a fair bit that can be taught with those due to how dramatically they can change a look.
Nice to see a TH-cam wardrobe tutorial that isn’t a guide to aesthetically organising by colour and fiber content, and is instead focused on just getting everything in there in the first place.
A clothes folder can be a really big help for keeping clothes organised. In a household with three adults and two kids I had one for adults and one for babies. It made folding so easy and it made the clothes stack evenly in the closet, keeping it organised and neat. And you can make it yourself if you don't wanna invest in something you might not use. I found it neat that every piece of clothes ended up in the same sized square, only taller. Bulky clothes would get the hanger 🤸🏼♀️
Having a closet that is literally the width of a door, and having to put most everything on shelves...I've found neatly rolling up everything does amazingly for space saving. First learned the trick of rolling clothing for packing suitcases from someone who used to be in the military, translated it to storing clothing on shelves and oh boy it was a game changer. You can even make sure logos/etc show on the edge of whatever you are folding, if applicable, so that you can easily tell what is what from the side.
I also have a "closet" that is the width of a door, with no door, and no bar to hang, just a big shelf that's so high I need a stool (lucky me) I need Amy right here.
Idk about 100+ but it def saves space the biggest issue I can see is it’s hard to see designs on the clothing, I guess most efficient way is ranger roll any clothes that have no design importance (completely one colour t shirts, underwear, socks etc) and have more commonly worn clothes or ones with designs another way
@@Kero-zc5tc I personally use the KonMari technique and it works really well for t-shirts with designs! Just have to make sure to fold them leaving the designs visible. It's soo nice opening a drawer and seeing all t-shirts at a glance (Edit: Marie Kondo is the Spanish name for the KonMari technique, whoops!)
I’d never heard of this method, but I just looked it up, and it looks so useful! I’m about to go ranger roll my overflowing t-shirt drawer. Thanks for leaving a comment so I could learn something new!
Amy, thank you thank you thank you!!!! In just a couple of months I'm moving into a camper to save on rent and I have been dreading finding a way to keep all my clothes in such a small space. I would LOVE another video on the most effective and efficient way to fold and store socks and underwear! Great video ❤
Adding to the Folding Method conversation; Military Roll! I very tightly roll all of my house clothes and t-shirts/tanks to fit in a dresser! • Lay shirt flat with the neckline towards you [doesn't matter if front or back is up] • Fold about 4~5 inches of the base of shirt [more may be needed based on the fabric of apparel] underneath • Tuck in sleeves and fold the neckline part of shirt upwards towards the folded bottom [folded side is UNDER the shirt] leave space above the fold, about 3~4 inches • Now fold in the sides like a pamphlet [some items need more space, some can be packed tighter] to desired width • Take the folded part nearest you and match it to the top of the item, where the base fold was • Grab the folded part that is UNDER the item, and roll one side OVER the top - like when you fold over matching socks! BOOM - happy lil square of clothing that'll easily fit in a small drawer or shelf~ This method works with EVERYTHING; I do this to underwear, shirts, pants, shorts, sweaters, etc etc etc. I have about 30 shirts in one basic Ikea Malm dresser! It's a LIFE SAVER for small space-dwellers!
For saying this video, my parents had the idea to change my closet so now half of my closet or hangers and the other half is a target shelf and there’s a drawer in the bottom but we don’t talk about that until I get a new one
The roll folding technique is the fastest and best imo, Its neat, compact, you don't need to search the folded pile and you easily see and choose what to wear, Works best with shirts, hoodies, sheets, towels sweaters and more, You can sort them vertically and horizontally to utilize closet space
Vertical rolls for deeper draws, and horizontal for shelves and shallower drawers is my preference too! They stack nicely horizontally by nature which is really satisfying
As a broke college student who's living in dorms with roommates and only has a tiny wardrobe, this episode actually gave me ideas to save space and organize it. Thanks Amy ❤
YES AN EPISODE I NEED As a student studying abroad the closets tend to be SO small i suffer being able to keep them esp when theres 4 seasons to keep track of what to wear
I like how you are talking about how to fit all these clothes in the closet and I just can't help but notice the D&D books in the background around 3:16
Uh, so, fun fact - this episode actually inspired me to redo my entire closet. The whole thing. I've spent this weekend doing major work on everything in my room, and now I can actually find the clothes I want. Thanks Amy! Side tip: if you're a larger person like me, make sure you get heavier duty hangars! My clothes are bigger and heavier because they're sized bigger, so the last thing you want is everything crashing down after you've worked so hard!
I did this with my closet about a year ago. It's been so amazing. Being able to see my stuff, make sure it hangs nicely, and utilizing appropriate folding techniques, I'm able to keep my stuff massively organized. The funny thing to me was Amy saying that the bedroom closet is the scariest place....... You should see my office/craft room....
I don't even know why I'm here. I have a cupboard for clothes and about two dozen shirts, ten pants and a boat load of socks i keep in a box. Everything stays where it should and i dont worry about space. I guess its just fun to watch sometimes.
cool video amy, also you looked so stunning in that dress yesterday, but man were you nervous/excited ( that was so cute how you tried so hard to stay professional, but you did a great job and i am proud of you ) ..... also there is actually an even better way to organize clothing and it comes from the military its called the RANGER ROLL ( for someone like me who hasnt a closet, moves constantly from place to place its a god send). with the ranger roll technique you can organize all your cloths and i mean everything, look it up. cant wait for next video
My preferred method of folding when trying to save space is the ranger roll/ military roll. Basically, bring the hem of a top or the waist area of bottoms a couple centimeters towards itself so you have a pocket. Then, fold the clothes in half of thirds depending on the item before rolling from the opposite end of the 'pocket' you made earlier. Grab the edge of the "pocket" and drag it over the end of your roll on boths sides. Works well when trying to fit a weeks worth of clothing into half of a shared suitcase. There are youtube tutorials for the roll method that explain it better than I have here.
So when I travel, I normally bring a rain coat. My dad taught me how so fold one, so it can fit in the same amount of space as an umbrella. First: follow the hoodie trick until folding it in half 2nd, you roll up the jacket into the hood. It is really important if you travel a lot, and don’t have a lot of your space in your suitcase or back pack.
Yes! I do this too - I have a stuffsack that came with my waterproof jacket but rolling it up like this makes it fit easily in the stuffsack and keeps it as compact as possible when the drawstring on the sack is pulled tight 🥳
As someone actively learning how to work with my ADHD, this is a nightmare to me. But I’m glad it’s making you happy! If anyone is struggling with ADHD, these two things made the most difference for me: - I stopped folding anything. This has dramatically reduced how much clothes stay in the dryer instead of being put away. Anything that needs to be wrinkle free is hung up and the rest go in their labeled bins. Only exception is blue jeans (they have a shelf so I fold them) and towels (they go in a closet my guests see). - I’m using bins to rotate my T-shirts. Then in the morning, when I’ve got the least executive functioning power, I pull out the top bin and only have a few shirts to choose from.
The way she folded that shirt hurt me in so many ways😭😭 But if you want to fold shirts neatly, observe the retail workers while shopping clothes. They fold it so satisfyingly.
Have to say; between the content of each episode and Amy's magnetic presence, Style Theory has easily become my favourite of the Theorist channels (with Food Theory and Santi being a close second).
I NEEEEEEED this video!!!! My hangers are constantly snapping from me trying to shove my clothes in since there's no room😭😭😭 And dont get me started on my dresser drawers! They're stuffed too! I worked as a stylist at a clothing store for three years, and we had to wear their clothes while at work, so I have a ton of clothes from that job!😬😬😬
A folding trick I love because it keeps the clothes from unfolding when I need to move them and works on any piece of foldable clothing: Lay piece flat with the front facing down If a top: Fold in sleeves. If sleeveless with a wide neck (like most tank tops) skip this step. If sleeveless with small neck, fold in 2 inches or so on each side Fold the top (neck area) down about 6 or 7 inches Folt the bottom (hem area) up, making sure that the folds are shorter than the top area. Continue until you reach the neck Gently lift both the front and back of the neck away from the sleeves and back of the shirt (creating a little pocket). If sleeveless, gently lift only front of wide neck or both front and back of small neck Tuck bottom folds into top section (this may take some finagling) If bottoms, fold in half as Amy showed (leg over leg or one side of skirt over the other side). Fold the top (waist area) down about 6 or 7 inches Folt the bottom (hem area) up, making sure that the folds are shorter than the top area. Continue until you reach the waist Lift only one layer at the waist to create a pocket Tuck the bottom folds into the top pocket (again, may take a little work to get everything into place I hope this makes sense. It's definitely easier to do than this description probably makes it out to be. I tried to be as clear and descriptive as possible for you. 👍

Folding hack for packing for long trips or limited dresser/drawer space; military Ranger roll, or what I like to call the soda-can T-shirt roll. Fold hem up 2-3 inches both sides, so its rolled up. Fold left side over 1/3rd of the way, and fold sleeves back to match line of fold. Repeat on right side by folding 1/3rd of the way and folding sleeves back to match line of fold. Roll from the collar SUPER TIGHT all the way up to the hem, continue rolling OVER the hem line, and then take the hem and tuck it over the shirt to finish! Now you have more space to store in your luggage for long trips or drawer space when you're working to clear stuff out! 😁
MatPat can't relate with the closet size problem 😂
😂
True 😂
Yes
frrrr
maybe not, but all his colorful leather jackets sure will take up space 🤣
I use the KonMari Method and fit everything in my dresser. My closet is just for stuffed animals, old cheap Halloween costumes and whatever else I can put in there… like my guitar 😅
KonMari is the BEST for t-shirts! They take up less space while still being able to see the fronts/designs.
I still like hanging a lot so I see it, so I only need 2 drawers, but the KonMari/file folding was my answer
THIS GIRL IS BECOMING TOO RELATABLE I AM SO BAD AT CLEANING UP MY ROOM.!😭😭
Thx for likes
There's a style of that multi-pants hanger that has clips instead of just bars, which would probably be better for specifically those short skirts, since then you only have one skirt-thickness of a multi-layered or pleated skirt instead of two, which would allow more space for more condensing hangers
I tried the multi hanger condensers multiple times in the past and found they did not save any space because the clothes would lay against each other, still having the same horizontal thickness as just being on the bar, but now harder to access because they are buried in other things
Same here
it might only work for smaller pieces of clothing like amy’s tank tops or skirts
Honestly I would remove the doors in the closet and use bins on the shelves to make a make shift drawer bc it makes it easier to pull items you want without others coming out with it and helps to reach higher up item if you can reach for a bin much easier than a specific item. Plus removing or putting items away in a bin is easier. Also bins hide bad folding , making a closet look neater in general . It’s also great for nonfolders.
Pro tip: Analysis paralysis also hinders you during your shopping. Try to finalise the item you like as soon as you can because even though walking around every store might get you a better deal on the colour and style of clothing/footwear you wanted, you're less likely to be happy with your decision leading to you using your purchase less or with a bad mood.

Or just do what I do. My lover makes decisions when I can't. Her name is Lady Luck. Should I buy a certain pair of shoes? I got a quarter. I have 6 options for shoes? I keep a D6 handy. Was I suddenly drafted into a Mr Beast 1 to 100 video? I got a D100 as well. She can be quite fickle at times, but so far she hasn't steered me wrong.
And no, I'm not Harvey Dent. Not quite rich enough to be a former DA for Gotham.
@@SealFormulaMaster Relying on luck is a double-edged sword in cases of preferences. How many times have you flipped a coin when you couldn't decide between two fast food items and after you got your answer of what the coin picked for you, you immediately wanted the other item more? You just have to pick quickly and not pull a Sheldon by letting a dice decide everything.
@@hamzasultan96 the act of letting chance decide for you is what helps, not the actual outcome of the flip/roll - you often realise what you actually want as the coin is flipping/the die is rolling... If you rigidly stick to what chance says, you'd be right in what you're saying - but if you use it as a tool to force your brain to make up its mind then it's a useful tool 😊
@@DaniCal1forn1a Then we agree.
Okay but no matter how well organized your stuff is, if you have tons and tons of clothes, you will likely face analysis paralysis, and decision fatigue from choosing what to wear. As such another option to consider is getting rid of the clothes you don't wear very often or love the fit of as much. Loved the episode Amy!
I need an update to this episode in a year: how to maintain an organized closet. I have organized and organized and organized my closet so many times. But if those were my folded shirts, I would only choose the top, maybe 3, cause everything on the bottom would be a drag to reach. And if you have deep shelves like me, everything in the back has basically disappeared. Marie Kondo commented on this as well, saying this was common for her clients. I might be alone in this but compiling items on to one hanger makes me worried that the middle items will be a pain to take out. And more importantly will get lost since there’s so many places for my eyes to scan. I was overwhelmed just listening. Also this might just be my short girl problems, but those jeans are lost forever all the way up there. I did chuckle at the fact that the less used puffer jackets were more accessible. I do, however, feel inspired to take my tshirts and hoodies off their hangers… as soon as I think of where to put them. 🤪
Put your out of season clothes on/in the harder to reach spaces. So your thick sweaters during the summer go to the back of your deep shelves, t-shirts you wear in summer in front of those. I reorganize my closet twice a year, pack up and vacuum seal all the stuff that won’t be worn for the next few months, and bring out all the stuff that will. It also lets me see everything I own and decide if maybe something needs to be taken out of circulation all together.
I live near a desert. I don’t really have out of season clothes. I have short sleeves and 10 long sleeve shirts that I wear if I go out at night and for the 2 months a year that it gets kinda cold. I also try to put less used clothing out of reach (rain jackets, puffy jackets, etc). Anything I don’t see, I don’t use though.
Those see through containers / boxes are the way to go! Fold your clothes so they can stand upright (KonMari style) and put them in a box or drawer that you can slide out and see the full collection and all of it is within reach and not under other items that makes it difficult to get to.
I have thought about boxes that you can easily slide out. I’ve put some in my hallway closet but once you put stuff in them, they become heavy and less easy to pull out. I could put rolling shelves in but that would be costly and it would permanently damage my closet if I don’t like it. I don’t know if this is all closets are just mine but they don’t sell boxes that are the size of shelves so I end up with so much wasted space on the side or/and in front. So inefficient.
@@caffeinated_25 they sell little mini stick on wheels meant for appliances, but you can attach them to the bottom of your boxes for easier maneuverability!
I just love Amy's hair, like omg what do you do?? My adhd can't focus on the video I'm just here appreciating Amy's beautiful hair everytime
I've found that doing a closet purge once per year has been helpful. Put everything in a love, like, or loathe box. Everything in the like box that hasn't been touched in a year can go (with the exception of heirloom or formal wear like suits)
Thank you for adding metric units. It's wonderful to see you care about your audience and comments.
Especially if you have a drawer, having your folded clothes vertical can save a lot of space and make it easier to see them all!
This is such a good episode! I will love to know where/how to store sheets, blankets next.
6:55 the editing/ 3D animation of this part of the video is so impressive!!
Yes! They really brought their "A" game this episode!
Amy has D&D books in the closet Mirrors reflection and now I NEED AMY D&D STORIES!
A "Game Changer/Dropout" reference on Style Theory?! I never thought I'd see the day! Now we just need some Brennan on here and I'll die happy
I love the direction you’re taking the channel, Amy. Props to you and the whole theorist team and I can’t wait to see more
18:48 i see your tank top hanger and i thought: 'hey, you can actually fit eight more tank tops on the back if you layer it!' it's slightly less efficient way if you're finding a certain tank top in a hurry, but it does save more space :D
We're here with you. Not to judge, but to relate and hear out your stylistic theories.
Don't ~ boo👎~ yourself too hard in the vids. Not having enough space for all the different vibes is SUCH a mood. ❤
Thank you for the compacting ideas! Definitely gonna try some of those out.
I'm gonna be honest, I actually really needed this episode
Amy’s godlike power to create worlds and manipulate everything at mere thoughts is insane Theory lore 🤯 Stellar animation and editing 🫡
I hope the mention of wigs means an episode on them, it's hard to know what to get, or how to know the one you get works well for you. I've had some bad experiences with wigs, which kinda sucks as my hair doesn't like to grow and i really enjoy having the long hair from a wig - when its not trying to fall off my head. Definitely think there's a fair bit that can be taught with those due to how dramatically they can change a look.
I would LOVE a wig storage tips episode!!
I've got mine on a mix of heads, clip hangers, and wig hangers
Nice to see a TH-cam wardrobe tutorial that isn’t a guide to aesthetically organising by colour and fiber content, and is instead focused on just getting everything in there in the first place.
D&D books in the mirror, full approval from me, Amy.
Came to the comments for this 🥰
@@bladeofSteele I had to comment it, I see something great but unmentioned, I will mention it.
A clothes folder can be a really big help for keeping clothes organised. In a household with three adults and two kids I had one for adults and one for babies. It made folding so easy and it made the clothes stack evenly in the closet, keeping it organised and neat. And you can make it yourself if you don't wanna invest in something you might not use. I found it neat that every piece of clothes ended up in the same sized square, only taller. Bulky clothes would get the hanger 🤸🏼♀️
Dude. That D&D collection 😊 3:15
She must be the type of player to dress up as her character with her sense of style
Noticed it as well and now I want a style theory episode about dressing up like your characters too 😂
Yes! Same thought
Yes, came here to celebrate that D&D cameo in the background as well!
Having a closet that is literally the width of a door, and having to put most everything on shelves...I've found neatly rolling up everything does amazingly for space saving. First learned the trick of rolling clothing for packing suitcases from someone who used to be in the military, translated it to storing clothing on shelves and oh boy it was a game changer. You can even make sure logos/etc show on the edge of whatever you are folding, if applicable, so that you can easily tell what is what from the side.
I also have a "closet" that is the width of a door, with no door, and no bar to hang, just a big shelf that's so high I need a stool (lucky me)
I need Amy right here.
Love that this comes out the day I was thinking about cleaning out my closet…
"get your mind out of the gutter and into the closet!" amy i've been in there for most of my life please dont send me back AMY PLEASE DON-
The best folding method is the ranger roll. With it, you can store 100+ t-shirts in a small drawer, and they won't get wrinkles
Idk about 100+ but it def saves space the biggest issue I can see is it’s hard to see designs on the clothing, I guess most efficient way is ranger roll any clothes that have no design importance (completely one colour t shirts, underwear, socks etc) and have more commonly worn clothes or ones with designs another way
@@Kero-zc5tc I personally use the KonMari technique and it works really well for t-shirts with designs! Just have to make sure to fold them leaving the designs visible. It's soo nice opening a drawer and seeing all t-shirts at a glance (Edit: Marie Kondo is the Spanish name for the KonMari technique, whoops!)
I’d never heard of this method, but I just looked it up, and it looks so useful! I’m about to go ranger roll my overflowing t-shirt drawer. Thanks for leaving a comment so I could learn something new!
@@alyssataylor2338
My husband taught me!
Amy, thank you thank you thank you!!!! In just a couple of months I'm moving into a camper to save on rent and I have been dreading finding a way to keep all my clothes in such a small space. I would LOVE another video on the most effective and efficient way to fold and store socks and underwear! Great video ❤
Love how this came right after the CIF show we will definitely be needing some more storage cuz i bought a lot of clothes from most of the collections
0:49 no thank you I’m not going back in the closet
Adding to the Folding Method conversation; Military Roll! I very tightly roll all of my house clothes and t-shirts/tanks to fit in a dresser!
• Lay shirt flat with the neckline towards you [doesn't matter if front or back is up]
• Fold about 4~5 inches of the base of shirt [more may be needed based on the fabric of apparel] underneath
• Tuck in sleeves and fold the neckline part of shirt upwards towards the folded bottom [folded side is UNDER the shirt] leave space above the fold, about 3~4 inches
• Now fold in the sides like a pamphlet [some items need more space, some can be packed tighter] to desired width
• Take the folded part nearest you and match it to the top of the item, where the base fold was
• Grab the folded part that is UNDER the item, and roll one side OVER the top - like when you fold over matching socks!
BOOM - happy lil square of clothing that'll easily fit in a small drawer or shelf~
This method works with EVERYTHING; I do this to underwear, shirts, pants, shorts, sweaters, etc etc etc.
I have about 30 shirts in one basic Ikea Malm dresser! It's a LIFE SAVER for small space-dwellers!
For saying this video, my parents had the idea to change my closet so now half of my closet or hangers and the other half is a target shelf and there’s a drawer in the bottom but we don’t talk about that until I get a new one
The roll folding technique is the fastest and best imo,
Its neat, compact, you don't need to search the folded pile and you easily see and choose what to wear,
Works best with shirts, hoodies, sheets, towels sweaters and more,
You can sort them vertically and horizontally to utilize closet space
Vertical rolls for deeper draws, and horizontal for shelves and shallower drawers is my preference too! They stack nicely horizontally by nature which is really satisfying
It's the best when things are different colours. If you wear only black it's a bit harder 😅
Love and appreciate that this video wasn't simply "throw everything out" 💚
2:13 Theory: Does Amy Play D&D?
(look at the mirror reflection.)
As a broke college student who's living in dorms with roommates and only has a tiny wardrobe, this episode actually gave me ideas to save space and organize it. Thanks Amy ❤
YES AN EPISODE I NEED
As a student studying abroad the closets tend to be SO small i suffer being able to keep them esp when theres 4 seasons to keep track of what to wear
I like how you are talking about how to fit all these clothes in the closet and I just can't help but notice the D&D books in the background around 3:16
Amy is doing so well I have been loving her hosting style theory ❤️
Uh, so, fun fact - this episode actually inspired me to redo my entire closet. The whole thing. I've spent this weekend doing major work on everything in my room, and now I can actually find the clothes I want. Thanks Amy!
Side tip: if you're a larger person like me, make sure you get heavier duty hangars! My clothes are bigger and heavier because they're sized bigger, so the last thing you want is everything crashing down after you've worked so hard!
Are we going to get an episode color sorting the closet and test it? That's the theory I need!
I did this with my closet about a year ago. It's been so amazing. Being able to see my stuff, make sure it hangs nicely, and utilizing appropriate folding techniques, I'm able to keep my stuff massively organized.
The funny thing to me was Amy saying that the bedroom closet is the scariest place.......
You should see my office/craft room....
"Get your mind out of the gutter... and into the closet."
Me: "Uhhh..."
Great work Amy! You're really knocking it out of the park! And yay, blond Amy!
I don't even know why I'm here. I have a cupboard for clothes and about two dozen shirts, ten pants and a boat load of socks i keep in a box. Everything stays where it should and i dont worry about space.
I guess its just fun to watch sometimes.
okay , but can we appreciate how well organized her DnD bookshelf is?
cool video amy, also you looked so stunning in that dress yesterday, but man were you nervous/excited ( that was so cute how you tried so hard to stay professional, but you did a great job and i am proud of you ) ..... also there is actually an even better way to organize clothing and it comes from the military its called the RANGER ROLL ( for someone like me who hasnt a closet, moves constantly from place to place its a god send). with the ranger roll technique you can organize all your cloths and i mean everything, look it up.
cant wait for next video
Ranger Roll changed my packing game since learning it. I love flinging rolls around since they don't come undone.
My preferred method of folding when trying to save space is the ranger roll/ military roll. Basically, bring the hem of a top or the waist area of bottoms a couple centimeters towards itself so you have a pocket. Then, fold the clothes in half of thirds depending on the item before rolling from the opposite end of the 'pocket' you made earlier. Grab the edge of the "pocket" and drag it over the end of your roll on boths sides.
Works well when trying to fit a weeks worth of clothing into half of a shared suitcase.
There are youtube tutorials for the roll method that explain it better than I have here.
I was thinking about fixing my closet a few days ago Amy, thanks
I just tried the cross-folding AND MY MIND WAS BLOWN HOW EASY AND FAST IT WAS
Jokes on you. I keep my clothes in a clothes drawer and have closet be filled junk.
I’m not going to lie I may or may not have started to organize my closet while listening to this.
I got this video notification right when i needed it! Thank you, Style Theory!
Can I shout our Amy for being a dnd enjoyer. I saw those almost the sec their black and red colors where shown in the mirror of the closet!
The most easy method is just get a bigger wardrobe so you get fit your clothes in.
So when I travel, I normally bring a rain coat. My dad taught me how so fold one, so it can fit in the same amount of space as an umbrella.
First: follow the hoodie trick until folding it in half
2nd, you roll up the jacket into the hood.
It is really important if you travel a lot, and don’t have a lot of your space in your suitcase or back pack.
Yes! I do this too - I have a stuffsack that came with my waterproof jacket but rolling it up like this makes it fit easily in the stuffsack and keeps it as compact as possible when the drawstring on the sack is pulled tight 🥳
This is one of my fav theory channels.
This is so helpful because I will be moving into my new room in August and I have A LOT of clothing, so it's gonna be so helpful, thanks Amy.
I'm always out of space, so much so that I have to put clothes in my bed. 😂
0:05 jump scare!!! 😂😂
Me who doesn’t have a closet: mmmm yes very helpful *taking notes* I definitely agree and need to know this rn.
As someone actively learning how to work with my ADHD, this is a nightmare to me. But I’m glad it’s making you happy!
If anyone is struggling with ADHD, these two things made the most difference for me:
- I stopped folding anything. This has dramatically reduced how much clothes stay in the dryer instead of being put away. Anything that needs to be wrinkle free is hung up and the rest go in their labeled bins. Only exception is blue jeans (they have a shelf so I fold them) and towels (they go in a closet my guests see).
- I’m using bins to rotate my T-shirts. Then in the morning, when I’ve got the least executive functioning power, I pull out the top bin and only have a few shirts to choose from.
The way she folded that shirt hurt me in so many ways😭😭
But if you want to fold shirts neatly, observe the retail workers while shopping clothes. They fold it so satisfyingly.
Thanks for the tips on how to make the closet cleaner, Amy! Now I can stay in here for another few years without being suffocated.
Now I just need a video explaining how to clean the rest of my room and I'll be gold XD
I've noticed Amy is a swiftie and therefore style theory is my favorite theory channel now (it's been my favorite channel since it started)
Amy: My closet is tiny
Me: That's at least twice as big as mine
Amy: There is closet No.2
18:12
Hey! It’s Sam from Dropout’s “Game Changer”
Nice :)
Have to say; between the content of each episode and Amy's magnetic presence, Style Theory has easily become my favourite of the Theorist channels (with Food Theory and Santi being a close second).
Amy: "Hey! My eyes are up here"
Me: "Yes, they're also down there."
I NEEEEEEED this video!!!! My hangers are constantly snapping from me trying to shove my clothes in since there's no room😭😭😭
And dont get me started on my dresser drawers! They're stuffed too! I worked as a stylist at a clothing store for three years, and we had to wear their clothes while at work, so I have a ton of clothes from that job!😬😬😬
Thank you for this masterpiece Amy!!! 😀
A folding trick I love because it keeps the clothes from unfolding when I need to move them and works on any piece of foldable clothing:
Lay piece flat with the front facing down
If a top:
Fold in sleeves. If sleeveless with a wide neck (like most tank tops) skip this step. If sleeveless with small neck, fold in 2 inches or so on each side
Fold the top (neck area) down about 6 or 7 inches
Folt the bottom (hem area) up, making sure that the folds are shorter than the top area. Continue until you reach the neck
Gently lift both the front and back of the neck away from the sleeves and back of the shirt (creating a little pocket). If sleeveless, gently lift only front of wide neck or both front and back of small neck
Tuck bottom folds into top section (this may take some finagling)
If bottoms, fold in half as Amy showed (leg over leg or one side of skirt over the other side).
Fold the top (waist area) down about 6 or 7 inches
Folt the bottom (hem area) up, making sure that the folds are shorter than the top area. Continue until you reach the waist
Lift only one layer at the waist to create a pocket
Tuck the bottom folds into the top pocket (again, may take a little work to get everything into place
I hope this makes sense. It's definitely easier to do than this description probably makes it out to be. I tried to be as clear and descriptive as possible for you. 👍
I find it hilarious that her folding "hacks" are just typical folding techniques that everybody uses already lol
"No no no get your mind out of the gutter and into the closet.”
Already in there Amy /j
After moving to live with extended family during covid and living on my own for college, im now back at my childhood home with two full suitcases and half of my bedroom floor gone, I NEEDED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH
