The best hanger for pants and skirts
If you have a lot of skirts and dress pants that you don't want to subject to creases and life on an ordinary hanger, the Natural Wooden Trouser Clamps and Skirt Hangers from the Container Store are a great option.
They'll match the aesthetic of your ordinary AmazonBasics' Wood Suit Hangers, but these trouser clamps and skirt hangers will take extra good care of your pants and skirts. The Trouser Clamp has a felt lining and a notch inside to hold your dress pants gently without creasing them in all the wrong places.
The clamp is strong enough to hold your pants so they don't fall, but gentle enough not to leave a weird crease. You can use them for skirts, too, or you can get the Skirt Hanger with its two clips and adjustable metal bar instead. The Skirt Hanger will hold your skirts in place by the waistband.
Buyers on the Container Store's website rate these hangers highly at 5 or 4 stars. Reviewers love the smooth finish, the great quality, and the sturdy grip of these hangers. Although these hangers cost $2.99 - $3.99 each, you won't have to buy too many of them, as you only need enough to hold your most important pants and skirts.
Pros: Real wood design, strong clamp holds pants or skirts secure, no more wrinkles, non-slip security, attractive design
Cons: May not fit all pants or skirts

If you have heavy wool coats, sturdy leather jackets, puffy down coats, or high-end suits that need stronger broader hangers, you'll love the Superior Natural Wooden Hangers from the Container Store.
These wooden hangers are thicker, sturdier, and stronger than normal hangers, and the arms are specifically made to support the natural shape of coats and suits. The thick, curvy design also ensures that your suit jackets and coats don't get weird hanger bumps in the shoulders.
If you need these hangers to protect your suits, you may want to opt for the hangers with the ribbed bar that holds your suit pants securely, too. Those who only want to store coats carefully won't need to spring for the bar.
The Superior Natural Wooden Hangers are obviously quite popular at the Container Store, because they have 40 reviews and an average star rating of 4.7 out of 5. It's an excellent rating, and most buyers agree that these hangers live up to their name with superior structure and stability for heavier coats, jackets, and suits.
In fact, the only one-star review is from someone whose only complaint was that the price tag sticker was difficult to remove from the hanger itself.
Pros: Real wood, sturdy design, angled shoulders for suits and coats, can handle heavy coats
Cons: Pricey if you buy many

Adult hangers are not ideal for children's clothes, especially if your little ones are really young. Luckily, there are plenty of great hangers out there that are made for kids' clothes. These versatile wooden hangers from Honey-Can-Do are perfect for hanging up shirts or pants and skirts, thanks to the sturdy wooden arms and the metal bar with adjustable clamps for holding your kids' pants or skirts.
The dual-purpose design makes it easy to coordinate outfits for your kids, too, so you can combine shirts and pants or skirts together on each hanger. That'll make it easier to get your kids off to school or daycare in the morning. The hangers come in a 5-pack, too, so it's relatively easy to snag enough hangers to populate your kids' closets.

If you're tired of watching your clothes slide right off of wood, metal, and plastic hangers, you need to check out Joy Mangano's Huggable Hangers. These slim metal hangers are covered with velvet to add grip and prevent any slippage.
Because these hangers are so thin, they won't take up much space in your closet, either, which is a huge win if you're tight on space. Joy Mangano also sells these hangers in several fun colors, too, if you don't want to go with basic black. Plus, you get 10 in a pack for $15, so it's a good deal.
The obvious downside to the thin design is that these hangers aren't as strong as wooden ones. They can bend and break under excessive pressure. However, most reviewers say that these hangers are actually strong enough to hold heavier coats and suits. You may way to mix them into your closet to hold lighter pieces of clothing and use wooden hangers for the heavy stuff like coats and pants.
Joy Mangano's hangers got the Good Housekeeping seal of approval, and both New York Mag and Apartment Therapy recommend them for saving space in your closet. Amazon buyers also rate these hangers highly with around 81% of all reviewers giving them 5 stars.
