Not all garment bags are created equal. The right choice depends on your specific needs:

· Standard Zippered Bags: Perfect for basic closet storage. They are simple, affordable, and effective at keeping dust out.
· Breathable Garment Bags: Made from materials like cotton or non-woven fabric, these are essential for long-term storage of natural fibers (wool, silk, cotton). They allow air circulation, preventing moisture buildup and mildew.
· Suit Covers / Travel Garment Bags: These are designed for mobility. They often feature sturdy handles, shoulder straps, and additional pockets for shoes and accessories. Look for foldable designs that are easy to pack.
· Plastic Garment Bags from Dry Cleaners: Important: These are for temporary transport only! The plastic traps chemicals and moisture, which can yellow fabrics and promote mildew over time. Always remove your clothes from these bags once you get home.
· Vacuum Storage Bags: While great for saving space, they are not suitable for delicate or structured garments like blazers and dresses, as the compression can cause permanent creasing and damage to the fabric’s shape.
