Most adult hangers are around 17–18 inches (43–46 cm) wide, kids’ hangers are 10–14 inches (25–35 cm), and baby hangers are about 10 inches (25 cm).
That’s it — the simple rule of thumb.
A hanger that’s too big can stretch the shoulders of your clothes, while one that’s too small can make them slip off. Choosing the right size keeps your clothes in shape and your wardrobe looking neat.
Standard Adult Hanger Sizes
Adult hangers usually measure between 17 and 18 inches (43–46 cm).
Men’s hangers are typically a bit wider — around 18 inches (46 cm) — to support heavier coats and suits.
Women’s hangers are slightly narrower — about 16.5 inches (42 cm) — and work well for blouses, dresses, and tops.
If you want a tidy, uniform closet, stick with one hanger size across all your clothing. It gives a clean, balanced look.
Kids’ and Baby Hanger Sizes
Children’s clothes are smaller and lighter, so their hangers are shorter too.
Baby hangers are about 10 inches (25 cm) wide, perfect for newborn outfits.
Toddlers (ages 1–3) usually need 12-inch (30 cm) hangers, while older kids (4–10 years) can use 14-inch (35 cm) ones.
Avoid using adult hangers for children’s clothes — they can easily stretch or deform the fabric, especially knitwear.
Common Hanger Types and Their Dimensions
Different types of hangers come in slightly different sizes depending on their purpose.
For example:
Pant or skirt hangers are about 11–15 inches (28–38 cm) wide.
Suit hangers with a bar are 17–18 inches (43–46 cm) wide, designed to hold both jackets and trousers.
Velvet or slimline hangers are super thin, around 0.5 cm thick — great for saving space.
Wooden hangers are thicker (1.2–2 cm), ideal for heavy winter coats.
Accessory hangers for scarves or ties come in flexible shapes and sizes.
How to Choose the Right Size for You or Your Brand
If you run a retail brand, using a consistent hanger size gives your display a clean, professional look.
For home use, here’s a simple guide:
Coats and suits: 46 cm / 18 in
Shirts and tops: 43 cm / 17 in
Kids’ clothes: 30–35 cm / 12–14 in
Baby clothes: 25 cm / 10 in
Material matters too:
Wooden hangers are strong and long-lasting for heavy garments.
Velvet hangers prevent slipping and save space.
Plastic hangers are lightweight and easy to clean.
Metal hangers are minimalistic and perfect for a modern-style closet.
Converting Inches to Centimeters
If you buy or export hangers internationally, remember that:
1 inch = 2.54 cm.
That means:
17 inches ≈ 43 cm
18 inches ≈ 46 cm
Always double-check the unit when ordering in bulk to avoid confusion or size mismatches.
