so I used to have ample space to hang p much all m stuff; that's no longer the case
what is the most space efficient (and easy-on-the-garment, wrinkle minimizing) ways to fold tops
i couldn't give two shits about undershirts but meh
there is the standard sleeve to sleeve, fold sleeves behind body, fold vertically... then the fancy fold coming from the popular yt video, that makes it very symmetrical
what is best

1) put the shirt backside up
2) fold the sleeves inwards, so now the shirt is shaped like a rectangle
3) fold in half horizontally by pulling the top down and over the bottom, forming a skinnier rectangle
4) the front of the shirt is now visible, easy to identify which shirt it is
5) if it's too big, just fold in half vertically
If you don't do step 5, the shirt will take up more surface area than the standard fold, but it's also thinner.
It worked for me because it fit perfectly into half of my drawer. Also, all I wear are t-shirts and basketball shorts, and when i fold my shorts in half, the folded shirt and folded shorts take up the same surface area.
I can't stop watching this... Now I just want to go home and try folding shirts.
This works really well only if you have a good flat surface. I can't bother with that since I fold clothes on/near my bed, and the clothing "sticks" to the sheets, and it makes this technique more difficult.
If, however, you have a large counter-top or table nearby, that works perfectly. It gives you a weird crease down the side instead of the middle, but it works well for storage.
That is the way my wife folds shirts. It blew my mind the first time I saw her do that. I had her show me like 5 times.
