My personal laundry motto is "when in doubt, air-dry it out!" I'm a big fan of hand-washing my clothing and then placing the pieces on a rack until they dry (or until I remember to actually hang them up roughly a week later).
There are just so many rules when it comes to washing certain items, and even though my method requires a bit more patience and effort, it's also saved me plenty of heartache. I'm pretty sure air-drying is the reason I've never shrunken any of my beloved Reformation dresses in the wash and rarely have I experienced the unique devastation that comes from pulling your favorite sweater out of the dryer only to find that it is now sized to fit the torso of an American Girl doll.
But most drying racks leave a lot to be desired. The one I currently use, which I've had since college, collapses if you even glance at it the wrong way and doesn't hold all that many items at one time.
Depending on how much clothing you air dry and the size of your laundry area, you'll probably be looking for something a bit sturdier. You may need a drying rack that holds many items at once, or you may want something that hangs up on the wall to save space. No matter your personal preferences, there's a drying rack out there for you.
