It takes strategy, the right supplies, and some patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckly, as the moving&nbsp;and packing&nbsp;experts,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/movinghelp.com\/\">Moving Help\u00ae<\/a>&nbsp;created&nbsp;this guide that outlines&nbsp;the best way&nbsp;to pack clothes for moving in five&nbsp;easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Declutter&nbsp;and&nbsp;Organize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re a fashionista with a closet full of outfits or a full-on minimalist with only the essentials, your first task is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/declutter-your-home\/\">declutter<\/a> your wardrobe. Not only will this make packing easier, but it&#8217;ll also help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/unpacking-tips-moving-help\/\">unpack<\/a>&nbsp;and settle into your new home faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to declutter is to&nbsp;separate your clothing into&nbsp;three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep<\/strong>: Clothing that you know you\u2019ll wear again in the&nbsp;near&nbsp;future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Donate<\/strong>: Clothing in good condition that you&nbsp;haven&#8217;t&nbsp;worn in a year or more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discard<\/strong>: Clothing that is tattered, falling apart,&nbsp;or otherwise&nbsp;unwearable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With your clothing sorted, you can organize&nbsp;the items in your &#8216;keep&#8217; pile by season or&nbsp;type&nbsp;of clothing&nbsp;to&nbsp;pack even more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&nbsp;also&nbsp;should&nbsp;clean your clothing as&nbsp;needed&nbsp;to&nbsp;prevent&nbsp;bad odors, dust, and&nbsp;mildew&nbsp;from making the trip to your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;Gather Boxes&nbsp;and Clothes Packing Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As tempting as it may be to throw your clothes in some trash bags&nbsp;and&nbsp;laundry baskets&nbsp;and call it &#8220;packing,&#8221;&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;be better off using moving boxes&nbsp;and packing supplies.&nbsp;Using moving boxes&nbsp;keeps your items safer from damage&nbsp;and makes it easier to stack your clothing in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/Truck-Rentals\/?utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moving truck rental<\/a>&nbsp;for a more efficient move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the packing supplies we recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/Standard-Sized-Moving-Boxes\/Medium-Moving-Box\/?id=2793&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medium<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/Standard-Sized-Moving-Boxes\/Large-Moving-Box\/?id=2753&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">large moving boxes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Clothing-Moving-Boxes\/?utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wardrobe boxes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Covers-Bags\/Vacuum-Seal-Storage-Bags\/?mid=200&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vacuum-seal&nbsp;bags<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Tape\/Box-Packaging-Paper-Tape\/?mid=143&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paper packing tape for moving boxes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use moving boxes for anything that folds; large moving boxes are best for lightweight articles of clothing like undergarments, socks, T-shirts, and pajamas, and medium moving boxes are best for heavier types of clothing like denim, pants, and sweaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fold&nbsp;your&nbsp;clothing to maximize space&nbsp;in the boxes&nbsp;(more on that&nbsp;later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Forget&nbsp;Moving&nbsp;Box&nbsp;Alternatives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving boxes&nbsp;are great, but&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;forget to&nbsp;make use of&nbsp;packing&nbsp;alternatives like suitcases, duffel bags,&nbsp;gym bags, backpacks,&nbsp;and other&nbsp;containers&nbsp;that are specifically&nbsp;designed&nbsp;for&nbsp;clothing.&nbsp;These&nbsp;items&nbsp;can be used for packing shoes, belts, hats, and other accessories that might not fit well into a moving box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Choose a Folding Method for Folded Clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pack-clothes-for-moving-2.jpg\" alt=\"A woman is moving hanging clothes from her closet into a shorty wardrobe box.\" class=\"wp-image-31084 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pack-clothes-for-moving-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pack-clothes-for-moving-2-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all folds are created&nbsp;equally. How you fold your clothing can&nbsp;positively&nbsp;help&nbsp;or negatively&nbsp;hurt&nbsp;the amount of space you have in your moving boxes, so be sure to fold your clothing correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are three common types of folds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Military Fold<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military fold&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;also called the ranger roll&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;is one of the best methods for folding clothes to save space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try it with soft, lightweight items.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For shirts, start by&nbsp;laying&nbsp;the shirt flat,&nbsp;then fold the bottom&nbsp;couple inches&nbsp;of the shirt inside-out. Fold the left side over about a third of the way, then fold the&nbsp;left&nbsp;sleeve&nbsp;back&nbsp;onto itself.&nbsp;Fold the right side over the&nbsp;left side&nbsp;and fold the&nbsp;right&nbsp;sleeve back onto&nbsp;itself. Finally,&nbsp;roll the shirt up as tight as possible, starting from the collar, to make it look like a burrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For pants,&nbsp;lay them flat, then&nbsp;roll the waistband over the&nbsp;top&nbsp;a couple&nbsp;of&nbsp;inches. Fold one leg over, smooth out wrinkles, then roll the pants up tightly from the top to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flat Fold<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flat fold is a common type of fold used&nbsp;for&nbsp;T-shirts, jeans, sweaters, and other clothes you would keep in a dresser. You&nbsp;probably already&nbsp;do a flat fold when you put away your&nbsp;laundry-on-laundry&nbsp;day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do a flat fold with&nbsp;T-shirts, fold both sleeves inward, then fold the bottom up&nbsp;either in seconds or thirds.&nbsp;To flat fold pants, fold one leg over the other, then fold them into&nbsp;thirds.&nbsp;Be sure to smooth out wrinkles as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KonMari&nbsp;Fold<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The KonMari Fold, made famous by legendary organization guru Marie Kondo, is useful for folding T-Shirts and other lightweight garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by folding one side of the garment to the middle. Then, fold the other side the same way. Be sure the sleeves are neatly folded over, and you&#8217;re smoothing out the wrinkles. You&#8217;ll then fold the shirt in half lengthwise, then fold the shirt in thirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When packing folded clothing into moving boxes, be sure to pack lightweight items in large boxes and the denser items in medium boxes and always pack from heaviest to lightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep Hanging Clothes on Hangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all clothes need to be folded. In fact,&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;save plenty&nbsp;of time and keep your clothes in pristine condition when you keep your hanging clothes on hangers using wardrobe boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U-Haul has&nbsp;four&nbsp;wardrobe boxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Storage-Solutions\/Banded-Grand-Wardrobe-Box\/?id=19405&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Large Wardrobe Box<\/a>: Great for dresses, jackets, and long hanging clothes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/Clothing-Moving-Boxes\/Banded-Space-Saver-Wardrobe-Box\/?id=19406&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medium Wardrobe Box<\/a>: Great for&nbsp;dress shirts, dress pants, and sweaters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/Clothing-Moving-Boxes\/Banded-Shorty-Wardrobe-Box\/?id=19407&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Small Wardrobe Box<\/a>: Great for T-shirts, shorts, blouses, and sport coats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingSupplies\/Boxes\/Clothing-Moving-Boxes\/Laydown-Wardrobe-Box\/?id=8728&amp;utm_source=mhblog&amp;utm_campaign=packclothesformoving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laydown Wardrobe Box<\/a>: Great for shoes, linens, and other non-hanging items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wardrobe boxes come with a metal handing bar,&nbsp;so you can&nbsp;effortlessly&nbsp;transfer clothes from your closet right to the box for safe keeping.&nbsp;All you have to do is seal the box using box&nbsp;tape&nbsp;and your hanging clothes are ready to move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
