What type of clothes hanger are you?

Wooden hangers, metal hangers or plastic?

There are objects that everyone uses in everyday life – but that many people don’t give much thought to. Clothes hangers, for example, are one of our everyday heroes, whether they are wooden, metal or plastic. We often pick up clothes hangers every day to take our favorite sweaters, blouses, shirts or trousers out of the closet and then hang them back up again. Our clothes hangers are no longer just simple household helpers for storing our clothes.

Mostly 1 – The wooden hanger lover

Mainly 2 – Fashion and metal ironing expert

You have a flair for fashion, and whenever a new trend pops up, you already have it in your closet. You like things a bit unusual, funky, and colorful—and your hangers should look the part, too. Given your lifestyle, metal hangers are the best choice for your many different garments. These hangers are available in numerous colors, save space in your closet, and are still sturdy and durable. Especially with coated metal hangers, you should make sure you buy metal hangers that are free of harmful substances such as heavy metals or plasticizers.

Mostly 3 – the undecided

Fashion doesn't play a particularly important role in your life (so far). You mostly wear whatever's on top of your pile of clothes or whatever's hanging in your closet. You probably also have a colorful mix of plastic, wooden, and metal hangers in your closet. However, plastic hangers are often cheap, one-size-fits-all products that don't always provide sufficient support, and widths that don't match your clothes can lead to sagging. Furthermore, in this age of plastic avoidance, more and more people are consciously choosing to avoid plastic. How about a combination of wooden and metal hangers that combines the advantages of both materials and also creates a beautiful play of colors in your closet?
