The upright method

Thanks to the vertical method you can save a lot of space. The trick is to fold the shirts in two-thirds and make them square . Then fold it back on itself into small rectangles . In this way you will obtain a sort of small package that will not wrinkle and will hardly take up space.

The pocket method

This method could be considered a variant of Marie Kondo’s original, although even more compact. To do this, you will have to fold the shirt in two parts , obtaining a rectangle . Then you will only have to fold it into two other parts , although leaving a third. The last step, after obtaining a square shape, will be to tuck one of the pieces under the shirt .

The rolled method

This trick is intended for most travelers, since it will allow us to save a lot of space in the suitcase to be used for other objects or clothes . To do this, we spread the shirts one on top of the other , without wrinkles or folds. Now we make a fold at the bottom and we put it below . We do the same with the two sides of the sleeves . Finally, from the neck part, we begin to roll the “package” down until we achieve a compact cylinder with all the shirts inside.

Tricks for tank tops

Finally, let’s see how to fold the most difficult shirts: tank tops . And it is that due to the absence of sleeves, it is more complicated to fold shirts correctly. Essentially, these types of shirts should be folded exactly the same as long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirts, only in this case the straps should be folded inward .

Now you know the best methods and tricks to fold shirts , both to store them in the closet and to put them in a suitcase and thus take up minimal space. In addition, we offer you the definitive trick to fold tank tops , the most complicated of all.
