The vertical method
Thanks to the vertical method you can save a lot of space. The trick is to fold the t-shirts in two thirds and leave them in a square shape. Then fold it back on itself in small rectangles. In this way you will obtain a kind 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 t-shirt in two parts, obtaining a rectangle. Then you will only have to fold it in two other parts, although leaving a third. The last step, after obtaining a square shape, will be put one of the parts under the shirt.
The coiled method
This trick is intended for the most travelers, since it will allow us save a lot of space in the suitcase to use it for other objects or garments. To do this, we spread the t-shirts one on top of the other, without wrinkles or folds. Now we perform a fold at the bottom and put it underneath. We do the same with the two sides of the sleeves. Finally, and from the neck, we begin to roll the “package” down into a compact cylinder with all the shirts inside.
Tricks for tank tops
Finally, let's see how to fold the most difficult t-shirts: those with straps. And due to the absence of sleeves, it is more difficult to fold t-shirts correctly. Essentially, you should fold these types of t-shirts exactly the same as long or short sleeve t-shirts, only in this case the straps should be folded inwards.
Now you know the best methods and tricks for folding t-shirts, both to store them in the closet and to put them in a suitcase so that they take up minimal space. In addition, we offer you the definitive trick to fold tank tops, the most complicated of all.
