Trouser storage: haner with bar or with clips?

Which is the better way to hang trousers? Thanks.

My tailor always consigns trousers hanging from a clips hanger, but he cushions their grip with 5 mm thick pieces of synthetic sponge folded oved the hem so the clips won't leave marks.
I hang most trousers, and especially those with a plain hem, from bar hangers, as the pressure is more evenly distributed. However, I do a trick on corduroys, particularly if they have turnups: I use a clip hanger and only clip the inner 2 sides, so as to avoid direct contact between clip and the easily crushable right side of the cloth; being relatively stiff (and placed between other hangers) they hang fine.

I hang my pants, from the cuff using a hanger called the Tenderclip.
After a few days of hanging like this, most pants look quite fresh again.

On pants that have very fine fabric,
after a few days hanging from the cuff, I will turn them around and hang them from the waist. This may seem like a touch too much bother, but on very fine fabrics, it does seem to show a slight bit of strain to leave them hanging endlessly from the cuff.

If space is an issue, perhaps the following could work.
I have arranged a two level system, the upper allows for full length hanging of pants, the lower for folded. The season which is not in use is folder and moved to the lower level while the current hangs in wait for the next wearing.

To date, it has proven successful for my needs.

Thank you very much for this idea. I am a week or so from putting away much of my winter clothing and will try this on the heavier stuff.

I wish I could do the same, dopey, but this Spring just won't yield one Celsius degree to summer. I barely gave up overcoats, more because the calendar tells me so rather than the thermometer :?
