A closet full of clothes is a nightmare to move if you do not have wardrobe boxes. Each box comes with a strong metal hanger bar to hang your clothes. You do not have to take each item off the hanger, fold it up and pack it in a suitcase. Just move the clothes and hangers from the closet to the box and you are done. Each box holds about two feet of closet space, so if you measure how many two foot increments of clothes you have hanging, that will tell you how many boxes you need. Be sure to keep the boxes because they are perfect for storing off season clothes.
