How To Fold A Shirt

Folding a Shirt: The Ultimate Adulting Hack

Let’s be honest: folding a shirt is one of those life skills that sounds easy but somehow turns into an origami nightmare. Fear not! Whether you’re a master procrastinator or a “shove it in the drawer and hope for the best” type, this guide will help you fold shirts like a wizard. Let’s get started before your laundry pile starts its villain arc!

Step-by-Step Shirt Folding Guide

Step 1: Lay It Flat Like a Pancake

Start by laying your shirt on a flat surface (your bed, table, or even the floor if you’re feeling rebellious). Make sure it’s smooth, like your moves on the dance floor—no wrinkles allowed!

Step 2: Fold One Side

Grab one side of the shirt and fold it inward, about a third of the way across. Don’t overthink it. Imagine you’re tucking in a burrito—you just want it snug and neat.

Step 3: Fold the Other Side

Repeat with the other side. Now your shirt should look like a rectangle. If it doesn’t, that’s okay—try again and remember: practice makes perfect (or at least decent).

Step 4: Fold the Bottom Up

Take the bottom of the shirt and fold it up toward the neckline. You’re almost there! Your shirt is transforming from “messy pile” to “department store display.”

Step 5: Marvel at Your Work

Flip the shirt over and admire your masterpiece. It’s flat, it’s neat, and it might even impress your mom. Congratulations—you’ve conquered the art of shirt folding!

Quick Tips for Folding Perfection

• Want it faster? Use a folding board (or cardboard box) to get those crisp lines.
• Short on space? Roll your shirt instead of folding—it’s great for drawers and travel bags.
• Dealing with a graphic tee? Fold it to showcase the design for easy grabbing.

Q: What’s the best way to store folded shirts?

Stack them vertically in a drawer so you can see everything at a glance. It’s like Netflix for your wardrobe—instant options!
