1 Select the pants to be folded. It is better to fold business trousers and other trousers, which are sewn from creased fabric, as curling increases the degree of wrinkling. If you are going to a business meeting or other event for which you need to wear trousers, it is best to fold them so that they are in a suitable condition upon arrival.

• Suit trousers should always be folded, but never folded, as they will create many unsightly folds when folded.
• Cotton trousers also wrinkle easily and should be folded.

2 Start with ironed pants. Packing crumpled pants makes them look even worse when they arrive at their destination. We recommend ironing your pants before packing them in your suitcase so that you can put them on immediately upon arrival.

3 Spread your pants out on a flat surface. Do this on the floor or other hard surface to fold them as neatly as possible. Straighten the pants by smoothing out any curves and creases.

4 Fold the pants in half so that the legs rest on top of each other. Place one leg over the other to fold the pants in half. Make sure the bend is exactly in the middle above the seam. Straighten your pant legs without leaving wrinkles.

• If you are folding trousers that have a center fold or fold, fold the trousers in half along the crotch and middle seams to maintain the fold.

5 Fold them in half vertically. Raise the bottom hem towards the waist. Again, flatten your pants to avoid wrinkling. Run your hand over the fabric to smooth the fabric.

6 Fold them in half again. Grab the pants by the edges and fold them in half one more time. They are now ready to be packed. By folding the pants this way, you will only have a crease at the knees and at the hips. It is much more practical to fold trousers with folds in these places than to completely crumple them, but for the most businesslike look, it is better to iron them after unpacking, if possible.

Method 2 of 3: Roll the Pants

1. 1 Know which pants you can twist. You can twist your pants from fabric that doesn't wrinkle. This is a quick and easy way to pack pants that can be worn slightly wrinkled. Folding clothes will save space in your travel suitcase because they take up less space than folded ones. You can twist the following pants:
   • Jeans
   • Leggings
   • Sweatpants
2. 2 Spread out your pants on a flat surface. Start with ironed pants if you want to keep them as unwrinkled as possible. Spread them out and smooth them over the legs with your hands to get rid of wrinkles.
3. 3 Fold your pants in half. Place one leg on top of the other so that it folds exactly in half. Use your hands to smooth out the folds. Check that the fabric is not wrinkled.
4. 4 Start twisting from the waist. Using your fingers, start rolling the pants from the waist up and down, just as you fold a roll or sleeping bag. Twist all the way to the edge. You will have a neat roll that can be easily stowed in a suitcase.
   • When twisting your pants, be careful not to wrinkle the fabric. Straighten out any wrinkles.
   • Roll loosely, not very tightly, as in the latter case, wrinkles can also appear.

Method 3 of 3: Packing Your Pants Properly

1. 1 Place your pants in a suit cover. If you are afraid of ruining your trousers or need to put them on immediately upon arrival, then use a suit cover, in which you can pack your trousers vertically without folding them in half. This is the best way to keep them uncrumpled.
   • Secure your pants to a hanger that won't wrinkle the fabric. For some hangers, the pants need to be folded in half at knee level and hung over the top of the hanger.
   • Lay them out neatly in the cover, straightening the pants as much as possible.
2. 2 Stack rolled-up pants closer to the bottom. If you have two pairs of twisted pants left, then it is better to put them on the bottom under the clothes that should remain uncrumpled. Squeeze them lower under other clothes, because nothing terrible will happen if they wrinkle a little.
3. 3 Place folded trousers on top. This reduces the likelihood of crushing them while traveling. Place them on the very top of other garments when the suitcase is almost full. Do not place shoes or other heavy objects on top of folded trousers.
4. 4 Place your items in a dry plastic bag to keep them from wrinkling. Thanks to the extra layer of protection, they will move less during transport. This way you can keep your ironed pants as unwrinkled as possible while traveling.

Tips

• Take your time when you fold your pants.If you rush, you will end up with a lot of folds. Also remember to iron the fabric with your hand.
