How to Fold a T-Shirt Marie Kondo Style

Since becoming a Netflix star, Marie Kondo has been sparking joy in homes around the world with her KonMari method. Tidying Up with Marie Kondo inspired viewers to get up off the couch and thoughtfully tidy their homes—including shirt drawers.

To fold a shirt the Marie-Kondo way, you’ll need to fold outwards instead of inwards and then fold in thirds, forming a little rectangle. Your goal is to have the shirt stand up on it’s own to store upward in drawers, almost like you’ve created a clothing filing cabinet. This method’s the best for being able to view your shirts quickly and choosing items you won’t wear over and over again.
