Pants hangers, shirt hangers, skirt hangers, and dress hangers can help save you space, too.  Many of these specialty hangers are designed to nest with each other, keeping like clothing close together without cramping and wrinkling them.  Cascading pants hangers are great for fitting many pants in the space of one hanger.  Cascading hooks and hanger bar extensions can also help you to keep a lot of items in a small space.
