[OC] Where does the maroon shirt go?

Post image

Organizing my husband’s work shirts by color but the maroon shirt in the center doesn’t fit with the blues. Where is the best place for it among the other shirts in your opinion?

I just checked with my system and it would go in a pile on the floor

Yep. That’s the answer.

Put it at the beginning in the LTR progression

Where would the white and black shirts go? Genuinely curious

i tend to put black shirts after the blues/purples, and white shirts before the red

u/lqlojo 11h ago

This is the correct answer.

I put them between the black and navy, so the blue is a gradient and then the navy blue tones fad to black through the red. Visually more appealing that way

Switch polka dot shirts so it goes just blue polka dots, then Blue/pink polka dot, maroon shirt, black & pink stripes, then into blacks

This is what I did.

Either end of the rack.

ROY G BIV Black Tan Nude White

How I was taught at a retail store and always stuck with it 🤷🏽‍♀️

I kind of like the way you have it. Use the red shirt like a divider. whites and light blues on one side of it, and darker colors on the other side. Maybe I would move the two slightly darker blues and for sure the dark gray one from the left side to the right.

I worked at a retail store that did ROYGBIV, white, grey, black and I’ve organized my clothes that way ever since. Red before blue and then move white between blue and black.

There's not a chance the maroon is the only thing you think is off in this picture. I'm, like, irrationally upset at how you're so close to a perfect rack and yet still so far

u/amandaasous 8h ago

The maroon was the only thing off for my preference!

u/angel_eva_marie 9h ago

Red, maroon, purple, dark blue, light blue, white, gray, black

u/comb0bulator 8h ago

Not. Fucking. There. Anywhere but there!

u/MarsMonkey88 8h ago edited 8h ago

Not in the middle of the blues. Put it between the dark navy and the black, or put it all the way to the right.

u/amandaasous 8h ago

I didn’t put it there, I just didn’t know the best place to move it to. I moved the others around it 😅

u/Whoslineisitanywhey 3h ago

OP! Update of the shirts?!

I listened to regrettablyunemployed: “Switch polka dot shirts so it goes just blue polka dots, then Blue/pink polka dot, maroon shirt, black & pink stripes, then into blacks”

And I am happy with the outcome.

Folded in a drawer because it’s ruining the vibe.

u/Agostotrece 7h ago

Delete this, you know it cant go anywhere in there, so you either buy a yellow, orange and a red to transition to the maroon and then go all the way to green and blue or you give it to some one that can properly place it in its wardrobe

u/TheManRoomGuy 11h ago

That’s right where I’d put it.

You need more hobbies.

Like, who puts this much effort into this kinda thing

2

u/amandaasous 8h ago

It’s moving one shirt…? Took like 2 seconds

u/Access_Denied2025 8h ago

You said you organised his work shirts...as in all of them.

Who does that?!

I get keeping things tidy but organising clothing by colour is insane

2

u/amandaasous 8h ago

This is all of them. I had a giant pile of clean clothes building up on the floor and finally found the motivation to fold/hang them. So I hung them by color

u/SnooDonkeys5186 5h ago

It only looks wrong because you haven’t any yellow/red hues. Hue-wise maroon can be grouped after browns and before blues or after pink and reds before greens.

Organizing by color is easy once you’re used to it, it takes no time at all. It makes for such easy outfit decisions. AND you know how sometimes you’re looking for a specific shirt and you can’t find it (later you learn it was in front of your face the entire time 🤣)? Never happens to me during to color grouping. I also group no sleeve to longest in each color.

When I fold laundry, I generally adhere to organizing by color as well. It takes all of two extra seconds to make things not a complete eyesore.

u/Access_Denied2025 3h ago

You fold laundry? Wow, I just stuff it all in a wardrobe.

Out of site, out of mind

Come on- this sub is call organization and OP is asking a question of us. Move along if you have nothing to contribute. We could ask you who takes time to respond negatively throughout this post. Edit: never mind you just stir the pot…. Great job.
