Considering its stop-and-start production schedule, the fact Hunter x Hunter's popularity has not waned much over the last decade is a testament to Yoshihiro Togashi's impeccable writing. After completing the all-time classic YuYu Hakusho and the short-lived but still good Level E, the mangaka started on (arguably) his masterwork, a story that is still producing Weekly Shonen Jump chapters more than 25 years following its debut. Throughout its run, Hunter x Hunter has gone through multiple delays due to Togashi's health issues, only for the manga to return years later without missing a beat. The announcement of a new HxH volume is always a cause for celebration.

Marvel's Spider-Man has consistently been on the cutting edge of superhero games ever since its inception. The series puts gamers in the shoes of its characters to a degree that is nearly infamous at this point. The ability to swap out Spider-Man's costume has been a key feature of the games, and a recent addition to Marvel Comics lore may offer the perfect inspiration for Marvel's Spider-Man 3.

Back in 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was one of the hottest games of the year. Launching during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, many longtime fans of the franchise (and plenty of newcomers) flocked to Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a way to pass time and play with friends while still being safe. New Horizons was a massive success, but its popularity has dwindled in recent years.

Fishing has been central to game mechanics for a long time, acting as a core gameplay feature in franchises such as Animal Crossing, Red Dead Redemption, and Minecraft. Fishing can take many forms, with some games focusing on river and lake angling through course fishing. Conversely, other titles have leaned on ocean fishing as a gameplay component, with players braving the elements in the hope of catching a whopper.

When it comes to picking a main villain for Marvel's Wolverine, there are countless great options Insomniac can use. Being a core member of the X-Men, Wolverine has crossed paths with a smorgasbord of villains over the years, ranging from household names like Magneto, to lesser-known villains like the Silver Samurai. If Insomniac follows a pattern from its Spider-Man series, then no matter who Marvel's Wolverine chooses as its big bad, it's sure to be an iconic portrayal in the end.

How diving deeper into the world of programming has made me into a stronger designer.I started my design career as a visual designer with a focus on branding, gradually transitioning into web design and development, and then further into Product Design. I believe the phase in my journey where I dove deeper into the world of programming has made me into a stronger designertoday.A question I often hear from fellow designers is:Should I learn programming as a designer?Therefore, I got motivated to write this article by sharing my experience. In this story, Ill go through some of the areas where skills from development have strongly influenced my design capability and decision makingprocess.TLDR: Starting as a visual designer, learning web development and programming applications to expand my services as a freelancer. Transitioning into product design with the knowledge of responsive design, hierarchy, page optimization, accessibility, and leveraging processes that I can utilize for design. Eventhough building rails apps and learning programming concepts has not directly improved my employability as a designer, knowledge of web development has allowed me to wear multiple hats and has taken me to be involved in projects I otherwise wouldnt have had thechance.How it allstartedIn 2009, I was doing visual design and managing a website that was built in PHP, HTML, CSS, and a bit of jQuery. I was responsible for doing simple updates on the front-end code. I had done a basic website development course during my undergraduate studies prior, so I was somewhat familiar with the basics of HTML andCSS.One day, working in a small business, a booking form powered by PHP stopped workingthis was one of the most important features of the service. I had to try my best to find a solution on how to fix it without any prior knowledge of $PHP. With the help of searching for clues online, Stack Overflow among others was one big helping hand and I surprisingly managed to get it fixed. What a great feeling thatwas.Around 2012, I started to do freelancing. I did visual and print design work for a bakery, travel service, startups, etc. and a lot of the clients I worked with asked if I could do websites. This re-occuring question made me want to dig deeper into how to fully develop a basic website with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.After studying and a few mock projects later, I was let to design and develop a website for a previous client without prior experience. The websites I developed from here on were built on raw code, making updates by the client a bit more troublesome. However, due to the rising popularity of open-source CMSs, such as Wordpress, another new door opened. I could apply some of my skills from before to Worpress and provided clients with a solution that they could update themselves in thefuture.As time went on, I was getting more into programming, and went on to do This is CS50 from EDx/Harvard Online, courses on Code Academy, learned Ruby, did Ruby on Rails app tutorials from Michael Hartl for probably about 15 times with different ideas, messed up setting up environments properly on my VPS, SQL, SSH keys and certificates, creating an email server, andmore.However, one thought I was debating during all of this was whether I should continue to move more towards development or shift the focus back to stricly design.I chose design, again. Learning about these technologies was exciting, but I felt I enjoyed design more and should focus on one more than the other - I guess there was a fear of becoming a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Even though I decided to continue focusing on design, a lot of the learnings from that period are still valid today, which I will highlight below.Lets go!Alternative Text input dialog onMediumAccessibility, SEO and ContentStrategyI dropped some tables in SQL, pushed and pulled in GIT, apt-get some programs on a Linux system and redirected around Apache. Did these enhance my skills as a designer? If Im honest; notreally.However, if you are working with <strong>web products</strong>, I do believe it is beneficial to know the basics of HTML andCSS.Knowing the basics of HTML/CSS and how they can be used to build websites can help youto:structure and optimize content for user experience, performance and search engines on theweb.understand how responsive design works, i.e.: how containers and columns work together, responsive typography, what are clickable areas,etc.There are a lot of available tools for analyzing SEO and site performancecombining it with services such as Hotjar can really help to know how users are interacting with your site, enhancing the page experience and performance for the user. In addition, considering how might we go about the SEO of a page allows you to tailor the content and language of a page for effective communication.Page title, page description, URL slug/pretty permalinkKeyword. Thinking of one keyword to describe apageLenght of a <H1> heading, <H2> headings and <p> paragraph text. Images optimization, alt-text, etcPage (UX) language, internal anchors, backlinks, sitemaps, social handles/meta dataWould the designer need to know the syntax for these above and how to apply them? It surely can help. For example, knowing that a page should include one H1 title, and can include more H2 tagsSteps for a well-structured layout, SEO and clear hierarchy. How easily are the users finding information on apage?Adding an Alternative text (a.k.a ALT) improves accessibility by supporting screen-reader tools to describe images to visually-impaired users and allows search-engine crawlers to know what the image is about. Usage of Alt text is often seen in web apps, and also on social media platforms. In addition to images, it can be applied to charts, graphs, icons and other graphic materials. Medium also provides writers with the ability to use Alt text on images for better accessibility.I studied a lot of SEO and page optimization materials, the markup and constantly analyzed changesI do believe this taught me to create and structure page content in a stronger way, than if not having being exposed to these elements atall.Understanding Responsive DesignBesides breaking points, understanding how responsive design works can help you to enhance the page and user experience.In the example above, there is an order rule applied to the columns within a container that can make the reading experience more consistent on mobile devices. This all depends how you structure your column layouts and how many columns there are in a container. I learned a lot about media queries, using design as templates, and how containers work with columns by utilizing Bootstrap.Headings communicate hierarchy and makes the content easier to scan. How could we keep them not spanning across the screen on smaller devices? Responsive typography. Learning about pixels, ems, rems, etc. has taught me to consider responsive typography across viewport widths. When working with responsive images, in addition to adjusting the image size based on screen size, you can also consider setting minimum or maximum width or height rules to imagesif this is a design choice you areafter.I came across these kind of issues often when I was working with design templates in blogging related systems. The layout from the user perspective worked very well when used on a desktop viewport, but readability suffered when transitioning into smallerscreens.A simplified example showcasing different outputs when typography inherits size and is responsive on mobile devices, as well as as inheriting icon size vs. having a maximum heightrule.Constraints and ScalabilityI often designed and developed websites for clients that needed the ability to update the content themselves in the future. During the design and development phase, I could create any part of the site to follow my designs. However, I shouldnt expect the client to be able to design and code when they would manage the site. This is something I learned through trial anderror.The end-user who will be using your designed and developed product shouldnt need to start learning design or development skills just to use it. Therefore, one aspect to consider is the technological and user-generated content constraint. This can help to design solutions that scale and stay visually consistent beyond the deliverydate.I often created a user manual covering the basics of updating a site, but if the guide needs extra inserted inline code blocks multiple times, it might be good to re-evaluate the design decision or create the feature directly into theproduct.Consider who you are designing for and how they utilize and interact with your solution in the futureThis is a fundamental for design, but I got to say it was very impactful to experience it with aclient.Browser Compatibility, Differences Between Operating Systems andDevicesNot everything will necessarily look and work exactly the same way across browsers or operating systems. Sometimes that is okShould you compromise? The engineers you are working with are the masters of their craft and can advise on the best action tofollow.One example I had was with the execution of a Blur effect on iOS and Android devices. A blur effect (Blur in Figma) worked directly on iOS, but not on Android. The compromise? Same final output as desired, but different execution. In this case, instead of directly using a blur effect on an image itself, a blurred image (pattern) would be placed on top of the original image to create the same outcome on bothdevices.Often times the initially proposed design might be turned down. There might be different reasons as to why, but the point is that it is worth discussing the detailed reasoning, and possible ways it could besolved.File Types, Performance and InteractionPerformance and speed are some of the crucial elements of a good user experince. One big influence on the load time of your product might come down to file size, the amount of animation and how much resources they might beusing.For example, allowing users to query and show live results through all their 1-year transaction history live might take a lot of resources in the backend, multiple that with a million users and depending on infrastructure, this may take a toll on the system. If there are such constraints, may need to dig deeper on what could be possible by talking to engineers.Should the designer go for a GIF, aPNG, WebP, Movie-files, JSON/lottie-files, embedded content from elsewhere, or something else? When developing solutions, I explored with different file types and each have their pros and cons. aPNGs can be lightweight and clear in comparison to GIFs, but may not run on all browsers. Long form content might work best with video,etc.A good discovery has been to know about the existence of Lottie-files and JSON for micro-animations, which opened a whole new world. Creating these might not fall under the responsibilities of a product designer, but in my case it almost always has, if not then at least I had to talk with a motion designer and define that the output should be a JSON-file. Lottie/JSON has allowed me to better incorporate micro-animations in my design. A lot of animation can also be done with CSS, so experimenting with these different file types and moving image has allowed me to learn that there can be multiple ways to approach a solution.Documentation, Changelogs and VersionControlProgramming involves documentation, commenting, information on changes and version control. My general experience has been that in design these are not usually as prominent.asbfkdfjof file-name is more common than you mightthinkIt can be tempting to focus on pushing up new iterations without keeping a backlog of changes and updates over time, but this may come back to bite you. Adding a date/time stamp and the person responsible in your working document can work wondersThink for example a Figma page. Similar to GIT, adding timestamps for updates (push), tagging the person responsible and commenting can really help communication within theteam.Proper documentation, changelogs and version control has several benefits for designers:New members joining the design team can easily grasp changes in the product lifecycle. They can easily identify the most recent files and be aware of how the product has developed overtime.Proper version control and organization of user flows and screens allows for quick access whenneeded.Evaluate design changes. Previous design on May 2024 adoption rate was 0.02%, introducing a new purchase button on June 2024, adoption rate improved to 1.08% in 1 month. If there is no previous version to compare to, it will be harder to evaluate.Clear documentation on design systems on how to use a certain element and interaction. For example: a success message is always shown on top, slide in from top.5s, stay visible for 3s, fade out.5s,etc.Aiming to create an easy to understand processes where designers can easily look up a file that was worked on and by who to maintain efficiency and consistencya process inspired by programming.Closing RemarksIf I would ask myselfagain:Should I learn programming as a designer?While I am bit biased, I would tell myself that it is not necessary to try to learn everything. It really depends on what you what to do with the desired knowledge. It is best to learn if you have a specific goal in mind. It not only helps in concentration and motivation, but you are more likely to continueit.Learning web development has enabled me to wear multiple hats in the role of a designer, which otherwise would not have been possible. This can all vary on the company/product you are workingwith.Learning programming concepts and ideas, creating databases or virtual machines on the other handhast helped as much career-wise, but I do believe it has helped me to ask better questions and have a deeper understanding of what goes into creating digital products.Has learning learning web development increased my chances to findingjobs?Id say no. It never really came up during interviews and was not asked during employment. Perhaps Im lacking in my sales skills as a designer and have rusty interview skills. Only by taking initiative has it resulted in something. I did manage to land projects in my job where I otherwise wouldnt have, and in terms of freelancing it provided me with significantly more projects and allowing to offer a wider range of services.If I had learned how to create apps in C#, Java or sowould it have made me a stronger designer? I have some doubts in that as wellagain, Id say it might give me a better understanding of what goes into developing products.If there is a good mentor who can support your experience when creating digital products, you can learn a lot and fast. Although, depending where you are working, not all designers have access tothis.In short, these learnings have allowed me to have a deeper knowledge of what questions to ask and what goes into creating digital products.Have you had a similar experience? Have you learned programming or web development? Has it benefitted you as a designer? Id love toknow!If you didnt learn web developmentdo any of the topics mentioned in this story resonate to you as a designer? How did you learn about them? Have you needed them when designing digital products (especially web products)?Have a great day and thank you forreading.If { nothing else } then { end here}.// Cheers// Illustrations and images byauthorThe benefits of learning programming as a designer was originally published in UX Collective on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

If youre looking for the Wordle answer for August 4, 2024 read on. Well share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Todays puzzle is harder; I got it in five. Beware, there are spoilers below for August 4, Wordle #1,142! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to todays Wordle game.How to play WordleWordle lives here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time.Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if theyre correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isnt in the days secret word at all. For more, check out our guide to playing Wordle here, and my strategy guide here for more advanced tips. (We also have more information at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.)Ready for the hints? Lets go!Does todays Wordle have any unusual letters?Well define common letters as those that appear in the old typesetters phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU. (Memorize this! Pronounce it Edwin Shirdloo, like a name, and pretend hes a friend of yours.)Four of today's letters are from our mnemonic. The other is uncommon. Can you give me a hint for todays Wordle?As a verb, to reduce or drop. Does todays Wordle have any double or repeated letters?There are no repeated letters today.How many vowels are in todays Wordle?There are two vowels. What letter does todays Wordle start with?Todays word starts with L.What letter does todays Wordle end with?Todays word ends with R.What is the solution to todays Wordle?Ready? Todays word is LOWER.How I solved todays WordleI started with RAISE and TOUCH, then guessed GAMED and PLANK to narrow down the consonants that appeared in possible solutions. This left LOVER and LOWER as the best answers, and I guessed the latter. Wordle 1,142 5/6Yesterdays Wordle answerYesterdays Wordle was easier. The hint was a tool you'll find in both the kitchen and the bathroom and the answer contained four common letters and one pretty common letter. The answer to yesterdays Wordle was SCALE. A primer on Wordle basicsThe idea of Wordle is to guess the days secret word. When you first open the Wordle game, youll see an empty grid of letters. Its up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word.Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word:Green means you correctly guessed a letter, and its in the correct position. (For example, if you guess PARTY, and the word is actually PURSE, the P and R will be green.)Yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you guessed it. (For example, if you guessed PARTY, but the word is actually ROAST, the R, A and T will all be yellow.)Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all. (If you guessed PARTY and everything is gray, then the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST.)With all that in mind, guess another word, and then another, trying to land on the correct word before you run out of chances. You get six guesses, and then its game over.The best starter words for WordleWhat should you play for that first guess? The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, thats still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isnt a single best starting word, but the New York Timess Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these:CRANETRACESLANTCRATECARTEMeanwhile, an MIT analysis found that youll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these:SALETREASTTRACECRATESLATEOther good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that its better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.How to win at WordleWe have a few guides to Wordle strategy, which you might like to read over if youre a serious student of the game. This one covers how to use consonants to your advantage, while this one focuses on a strategy that uses the most common letters. In this advanced guide, we detail a three-pronged approach for fishing for hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly.The biggest thing that separates Wordle winners from Wordle losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about what letters are in the word. If you know that the word must end in -OUND, dont waste four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, you know the solution.One more note on strategy: the original Wordle used a list of about 2,300 solution words, but after the game was bought by the NYT, the game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions. Sometimes they are slightly tricky words that wouldnt have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving. So keep in mind that there may be a theme.Wordle alternativesIf you cant get enough of five-letter guessing games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include:Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after anotherDordle and Quordle, which ask you to play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There is also Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, with 16.Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid; you play by swapping the letters around until you solve.Absurdle, which changes the solution after each guess, but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback. You have to strategically back it into a corner until there is only one possible word left; then you guess it, and win.Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You take damage if you spend too much time between guesses; winner is the last one standing.Antiwordle, in which you are trying not to guess the days solution. Youre required to reuse any letters that you (oops) guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.

If you've got an iPhone, then you've also got the Health app from Apple, which comes preinstalled on it. This app is designed to serve as the central hub for all your health and fitness data, from the steps you take to the foods you eat.Some of you may look at this app every day, and maybe even use it together with an Apple Watch. Or you might never open the app at all. But whether you're a frequent user of the Health app or not, it's worth checking up on the data it's collecting, and the various apps and devices it's communicating and sharing that data with.The Health app could well be counting your steps each day, for example, even if you've never specifically told it to. Here's how to check up on the health information being collected, and which devices and apps are involved.Your data in the Health appApple says the Health app automatically counts your steps and your walking and running distances. If you've paired an Apple Watch with your iPhone, then activity data from other types of exercises and movement will also be logged. There's also a Health Profile inside the app, to which you can add details like blood type and date of birth.By default, all the information stored in the Health app is also stored in iCloud. If you've enabled two-factor authentication on your account (and you should), then this data is end-to-end encryptednot even Apple can see it. If you'd rather just keep this data on your iPhone, open Settings and tap your name at the top: Choose iCloud, Show All, then Health to turn off iCloud syncing. All of the health data stored on your iPhone is encrypted by your passcode or Face ID when the handset is locked. You can keep all your health data stored locally, if you prefer. Credit: Lifehacker Note that simply deleting the Health app from your phone doesn't also delete the data the app has previously collectedit stays on your iPhone so other apps can access it if needed. If you want to delete your data and uninstall the Health app as well, you first need to wipe your records through the app before you remove it from your iPhone.You can delete anything stored in the Health app manually by tapping into the categories and the records that have been logged. On the page for each specific data type, you should see a Show All Data linkon the next screen, tap Edit, and you'll have the option to erase some or all of the collected data.How to check what your Health app is trackingOpening the Health app on your iPhone and checking the Summary screen will give you a good idea of the sorts of data the app is already tracking. If you go to the Browse tab, you can view every different type of data that the app can log, from your medications to your sleep: Just tap on a data category to see if there are records.On every data type screen, you'll see a Data Sources & Access link. Tap on this to see where the Health app is getting its information. You might see your iPhone and your Apple Watch listed, for example, as well as any third-party apps you've allowed to interact with your health data (either to report it or to access it, or both). Logged data is stored into categories. Credit: Lifehacker Stop your iPhone from tracking health dataYou can delete records from here, as explained above, but to actually stop the tracking you need to head to the main iOS Settings screen. Choose Health, and you'll see a list of apps connected to the appchoosing any of them lets you delete the data they've logged and disconnect them.To stop your iPhone tracking your activity (including steps), choose Privacy & Security then Motion & Fitness from the iOS Settings screen. Toggle the Fitness Tracking switch to off, and data from the iPhone itself won't be logged any longer. If you have third-party tracking apps installed, you can give permission to log activity to some of them but not others, if needed. You can stop data from your iPhone being recorded. Credit: Lifehacker Stop your Apple Watch from tracking health dataIf you've got an Apple Watch, you can actually stop logging activity from it as wellfrom the Watch app on your iPhone, open the My Watch tab, then choose Privacy to find the Fitness Tracking toggle switch. This doesn't delete the data the watch has already logged though (head into the Health app as described above to do this).Check who you're sharing your health data withFinally, it's worth double-checking who else can see your Health datathough presumably there will be no surprises here, as you'll have specifically set up these connections with family members or fitness buddies. From the Health app, tap the Sharing tab, and you can see current connections, choose which types of data you're sharing, and disable any connections you no longer want to have active.

I'm going to give you some organizational advice that might seem trivial, but I hope I've built up enough credibility on the topic that you'll pay attention when I tell you: You need matching hangers in your closet. Most of us collect hangers as we wander through life and probably don't think much about them. For me, as I moved from apartment to apartment, I amassed a collection of hangers that ranged from wooden to metal to plastic to velvet, each reminding me of a former roommate or hotel that I stole them from. It was a nice reminder of where I've been, sure, but that really has no place in a closet. Upgrading to matching hangers was a game changer.The benefits of matching hangersIn December of 2020, I overhauled my closet, installing new shelving units and decluttering all my clothes. Those endeavors sucked up a lot of time, money, and energy. I also got matching hangers. That did not suck up a lot of time, money, or energy. It was also the most effective thing I did during the whole closet reorganization. First of all, matching hangers just look nicer. That may not seem all that important to you, since house guests probably aren't going to see inside your closet, but think of it as a gift to yourself. It's just more pleasant and peaceful to open up those doors and see a uniform spread of clothes before you. The other benefits are a little more tangible: In addition to looking nicer, your clothes hang nicer on hangers that are all the exact same size and shape. A big plastic hanger sandwiched between two metal ones interrupts the flow and obscures whatever is hung behind it. Hangers that are all the same hang the same and move the same, so it's much easier to see and sort through what you have. Don't just take my word for it, either; on organizational forums, people who've made the switch all swear by it, too.In decluttering and organizing, I'm always recommending using uniform containers to store everything, but the usefulness of uniform storage extends well beyond little boxes and drawer dividers. Simply put, making a little investment in better storage now and making sure everything is the same will save you a lot of stress in the future. Plus, it just feels more mature and put-together, which is a nice boost on days when you're feeling disheveled and beaten down by the trials of adulthood that can't be overcome with a quick Amazon purchase. Matching hanger ideasI have to admit, my December 2020 foray into the world of matching hangers wasn't my first attempt. I screwed it up a few months before that during my first attempt. I went to Target and bought a mega-pack of black plastic hangers. I don't recommend those. Plastic hangers are big and thick; they take up way too much space in the closet, plus clothes can (and do) slide right off them. If you're using tiered organizers to store your hangers and clothes vertically, plastic hangers may not even fit in the holes, rendering them useless. Instead, I recommend velvet hangers. That's what I switched to when I tried this for the second time and, four years later, they're still going strong. The hook itself is metal, but the body is slim, reducing the bulkiness on your clothing rack or tiered organizers. The velvet coating gives your clothes something to grip, too, so they don't fall off. I have ones just like this: Pink Velvet Hangers, 60 Pack $29.99 at Amazon $39.99 Save $10.00 Shop Now Shop Now $29.99 at Amazon $39.99 Save $10.00 I also bought a set with clips on them from the same brand. I did this because at the time, I was going through a phase where I had a lot of matching suit sets and wanted to store them together. I thought I was The Nanny. The pandemic was a weird time. The clips turned out to be helpful, though, even when I moved away from that fashion choice, because they doubled the amount each hanger could hold. You don't have to limit yourself to storing matching sets on these; they're useful for any kind of skirts or pants. The most important thing is making sure that if you buy hangers with clips, you're getting them from the same brand as your other matching hangers, to maintain that uniformity. Velvet Skirt Hangers, 24 Pack $34.99 at Amazon $35.99 Save $1.00 Shop Now Shop Now $34.99 at Amazon $35.99 Save $1.00 If you do prefer plastic hangers, opt for slim ones. These ($23.99) come in a pack of 50 and feature a variety of interior hooks and slats to accommodate everything from belts to tank tops, but they're a mere .2 inches thick. For a more upscale look, maybe in a front closet, you can go for wooden ones, but again, thinness is your friend. This 20-pack ($23.99) features hangers that are a sturdy wood, but still slim.
