You can fold neck ties for storage by folding them in half, then in half again, and finally rolling them up.
Storing neckties can generally be done in two main ways: hanging or folding. The folding method is often preferred for drawer storage and helps save space.
Based on the method described in the provided reference (part of the Marie Kondo tidying method), follow these steps to fold a necktie into a compact form suitable for drawers:
- First Fold: Fold the tie in half lengthwise so that the tip meets the thicker end, folding it up to the label part.
- Second Fold: Fold the tie in half lengthwise again from there. This creates a shorter, folded section.
- Roll Up: Starting from the thicker end, begin to roll the folded tie tightly towards the tip.
This process results in a small, cylindrical bundle that stands upright.
Storing Folded Ties
Once folded, the reference suggests that when putting these ties into a drawer, it is beneficial to store them within a small box. Using a box helps keep the folded ties organized and prevents them from unfolding or shifting within the drawer, leading to a tidier and more accessible storage solution.
