Odd socks |
One of the smallest drawers contains socks that have temporarily lost their mates. A cardboard box separates the kids' socks from the adults' socks.

Athletic socks and Acorns |
If you've never heard of Acorns before, they're like bedroom slippers except that they have a leather bottom. They need to be kept out of the dog's reach because he will chew and destroy them. Sometimes my husband forgets to stow his Acorns away, so I added a label in the bottom of the drawer where they go using white masking tape.

Labeling is important |

Loosely folded shirts |
In order to try to reduce the amount of time I spend on laundry, I've stopped folding in the Marie Kondo way - shown above is what I think takes the least energy for my husbands shirts. Fold once in half, hamburger style, and done.

Pants and pajamas |
In an effort to spend less time on laundry, what I've done above is to fold pants once in half and be done.

Zip-ups and sweatshirts |
Sweatshirts are really bulky. There was no room in his wardrobe/closet for these.
His Closet
We have a medium-sized wardrobe that we originally purchased from IKEA that serves as his closet. It contains his work clothes (suits, dress shirts, and dress shoes).

Card-shaped things |
I used a small wooden box to corral card-shaped things such as ID badges.

Sentimental items |
My husband's collection of foreign currency is now stowed inside of a 4" x 6" clear photo container from The Container Store. A caddy now holds small miscellaneous items (think rings and spare change).

Dress socks and cufflinks |
He already had the cufflinks box, but I added a sentimental bandanna to the bottom of this shelf.
Neckties

The favorites |

The rest |
Keeping all 41 neckties in his closet didn't work well because they took up too much space, making the whole thing crammed. I separated out the 11 neckties I thought he used most frequently and put those on his tie tree. The other 30 I neatly stowed in a small dresser drawer.
