Hm, 58 years old and just learning how to hang up my clothes.

Not learning TO do it, but the HOW-- to keep 'em ON the hangers.

When the dry-cleaner here went out of business, we lost access to foam-padded wire hangers. But now-- larger, heavier padded ones are available locally so I'm getting rid of the old, nasty wire hangers. And I discovered that if I fold them into thirds, vertically-- right on the hanger, as it I were folding them on a flat table-- I can clothes-pin the underarms together in back. It all hangs stgraight, leaves no marks where they will show, can be packed in tight without wrinkling, and the resulting tension on the shoulder part of the sleeve holds it from shifting, too.

FINALLY!
