My normal middle class kids have 4-5 hoodies each that easily fit on hangers in their tiny closets. The one they are wearing that day usually gets hung on a hook with their backpack or on the back of their desk chair.


This is not a UMC flex. We’re talking about hoodies, not Rolex


Right, so OP SAYING “ You know the brands.” Is toooootally not a flex, right? Sure.


I sure don't know the brands. Like another poster said, could be from a camp or a school?

Hangers in her closet. How do you function in life that you need advice for something so simple?

Perhaps your MS kids have just a few, but I assure you, by the time your kids are mid-HS their sweatshirts will have multiplied to 17-20+ and you too will be looking for storage solutions. We are not wealthy, and I have certainly not bought my kids a hoodie since early MS, but they just appear.

Sometimes it's from a place they worked (lifeguarded or summer camp or other), sometimes a friend grows tired of a hoodie and they like it, so friend gives it, sometimes it's a birthday gift or relative gift at the holidays, and otherwise it's the magical asexual hoodie reproduction miracle.

Just reask the question in early Septemebr, after parents see the massive number of hoodies their kids brought to college and wonder where they came from


We are wealthy and each of my two teens has exactly three hoodies.

As for storage, one hangs them in her closet and the other’s can usually be found balled up on his floor.

The extra load of laundry is annoying enough but only like of them 4 fit into a drawer and I need a better solution. I see the options on Amazon but I want your lived experiences of my friends and neighbors - the multiple-bulb hanger? The over the door shelves? The clear pockets Tik Tok is always trying to sell me but the pockets look way too small?


What are the brands? Other than Pink Palm Puff or Comfrt. Looking for other ideas.

I hope your kids aren’t re-wearing them 😷


Of course they are you weirdo!


Gross. The cuffs always give it away.


You wash sweatshirts after every wear? Wtf? Get a life. I wash them once a week.


Gross. Teen boys shouldn't rewear sweatshirts. You wear it once, its dirty in our house.


That’s environmentally friendly. Even if there is nothing on it and it smells clean, it must be washed.

A middle schooler is old enough to do her own laundry.

Ours are stacked on open shelves. Daughter's are on the closet shelf.

I don't store the giant hoodies. I leave that to my teen, who sometimes hangs them up and sometimes doesn't, sometimes washes them and sometimes doesn't. It's not my problem anymore. He knows how laundry works. If he chooses not to do it that's on him.

Ha! I meant it as a complaint about the fact that the brands my kid wants are the ones that take up too much space in a smallish city bedroom. Not a flex, more like a cry for help - the hoods in particular are huge and refuse to be flattened 🤣

My daughter likes to store them in a messy pile on the floor in the middle of her room.

My kids have one or two hoodies each. That's plenty of hoodies. We have a very small house and no space to have large numbers of hoodies, or really anything else that's bulky. I assume you all have large homes.
