klädhängare

Klädhängare, often referred to as a coat hanger or clothes hanger, is a device in the form of a hook with a shoulder-shaped bar, used to hang clothes. Its primary purpose is to keep garments, such as coats, jackets, shirts, and trousers, from becoming creased or wrinkled while being stored. They are commonly found in wardrobes and closets.

Klädhängare come in a wide variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. Wooden hangers are often favored for their aesthetic appeal and strength, particularly for heavier items like coats. Plastic hangers are generally inexpensive and lightweight, making them a popular choice for everyday use. Metal hangers, often wire, are thin and can be useful for saving space, though they may sometimes cause garment damage or snagging.

Beyond the basic design, specialized klädhängare exist for specific types of clothing. Trouser hangers often feature clamps or bars designed to hold pants without leaving marks. Skirt hangers typically have clips to secure the waistband. Multi-garment hangers can hold several items vertically, maximizing closet space. The evolution of the klädhängare reflects a continuous effort to improve clothing storage and preservation.
