If you don’t own one yourself, then you probably know someone who has an overcrowded t-shirt drawer. By ‘overcrowded,’ we mean the kind of drawer that you can barely open, let alone find what you’re looking for inside. While there are a number of ways to fold shirts that will bring a sense of order to your drawer, we prefer filing.

Just like with paper, filing is exactly what it sounds like. One shirt behind the other, displayed vertically in color order, with the neatly folded edge facing up. By filing, you can fit more shirts in the drawer and easily find exactly what you’re looking for.

If you’re willing to invest a little bit more time and money, you can take it one step further with the Pliio filer (sold both on the Pliio website and Amazon). Pliio filers will help keep everything folded wrinkle-free, and will prevent other shirts from coming loose in the drawer every time one is added or removed. They’re simple and easy to use, and come in a variety of sizes.

Are we promoting filers because Pliio paying us to say good things about them? Nope, we’re just that passionate about solid, worthwhile organizing products.

Here at Puka, we’re always looking for the ‘good, better, best’ in any space we organize. Organizing results depend on the effort you contribute, and we always strive to put our best foot forward. Are the shirts folded in the drawer? Good. Are they filed in color order? Better. Add a filer to keep the entire drawer tidy, all the time? Best.
