There are also sliding tie racks that tuck away when not in use. They’re an excellent option for smaller closets, but they still require some space to avoid wrinkling and twisting.

They mount to the side of a cabinet or shelf and slide out when you need a tie. Once you choose your necktie, they slide back in and out of the way.

Hanging tie racks are also popular for smaller collections. They work like standard clothes hangers, hooking onto your closet pole. Instead of the traditional triangle shape, they use plastic racks with slots on both sides.

The ties slide into the slots, hanging free of the other ties to reduce wrinkles and keep your ties in excellent shape.

There are even motorized versions of hanging tie racks that work like necktie carousels. When you press a button, the ties begin to rotate, allowing you to see all of your ties one at a time and make a perfect choice.

All of these options also work well for belts, effectively solving two storage problems at once. The one thing to keep in mind is that your belts will hang lower than your ties. They may hang up on clothing or shoes underneath, which can then cause them to twist around the ties.

For the best results, pass on racks that store ties in vertical rows. They’ll work for storing your ties in a tight space, but they’re also more likely to cause wrinkles.
