coat hanger

Wardrobe's wire skeleton

A coat hanger is a device for hanging clothes, typically shaped with a hook at the top and sloping arms that support a garment's shoulders.

Most are made of wire, plastic, or wood.

The wire type, bent into a triangular shape, has become a grim symbol of unsafe illegal abortions, as such hangers were sometimes used in desperate self-induced procedures before abortion was legalized.

The closet was crammed with empty coat hangers.
