Many people prefer to hang a men's collared dress shirt. This is not always possible if there is a lack of closet space or when traveling. In these cases you can easily fold a men's collared dress shirt. Just follow these steps to learn how.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Lay the collared dress shirt out on a flat surface. Make sure that all the buttons are buttoned to reduce any wrinkles that may appear while the collared dress shirt is folded.

  2. Step 2

    Fold the sleeves of the collared dress shirt in towards the center of the shirt. Use the shoulder as a guide to create a straight fold down the sides of the shirt. The bottom part of the sleeve should come across towards the lower part of the opposite side of the shirt to create that straight line down the sides.

  3. Step 3

    Place the sleeves down the folded side of the collared dress shirt. The sleeves should now be parallel to the previous fold.

  4. Step 4

    Choose whether you want the collar to stay folded and creased or unfolded. Either way is fine when folding a men's collared dress shirt. When folding the shirt while the collar is unfolded you will want to fold the entire collar towards the center of the shirt from the shoulder area to create a rectangle out of the shirt.

  5. Step 5

    Take the collared dress shirt that is now in the shape of a rectangle and fold it in half by bringing the bottom of the shirt up to meet the top of the shirt.

  6. Step 6

    Use the now smaller rectangular piece of clothing and fold it one more time. This time fold the two opposite sides together. This men's collared dress shirt should now fit in a dresser or suitcase perfectly.
