hanging clothes

Line-dried attire

Hanging clothes refers to garments stored on hangers rather than folded—typically dress shirts, blouses, suits, and dresses that would wrinkle if stacked: The closet has room for hanging clothes on one side and shelves on the other.

The phrase also describes the act of putting laundry on a line to dry: She spent the morning hanging clothes in the backyard.
