The size of clothes hangers  is one of key factors to consider when choosing the perfect hanger.

To find the perfect clothes hanger, you need to make sure that the size is appropriate for the clothing item that it will hang. Use these general sizing rules to help you find the right hanger dimensions:

Thickness: Heavy clothes hangers should have a 1” thickness, whereas lightweight clothes are better-suited for 0.5” ones.

Width: If the width of the hanger is too narrow for the clothing item, you will develop creases, whereas stretching will occur if the hanger is too wide.

Children’s: Small children should use 10” hangers, and bigger kids need up to 14” ones.

Petite women: Small women and young men should use 15 or 16” contoured hangers.

Men and women: Adults should opt for 16 or 17” hangers.

Men’s XL: 5 or 19” hangers are ideal for large men.
