Follow the opening
An open-side hanger has a gap in its outline that can provide access without forcing the entire hanger through a neckline. The exact movement depends on the design and garment: guide fabric toward the opening, position the shoulders, and let the garment settle without tension. An opening is not necessarily a hinge or clasp. Inspect the actual product to see whether any part moves rather than assuming the shape closes mechanically.
Try a gentle sequence
Begin with an ordinary shirt while holding the hanger steady over a clean surface. Work slowly enough to notice whether fabric catches at the opening or needs twisting. Never force a narrow neckline around a part that does not fit. Compare removal as well as loading, since that is the action you repeat while dressing. Check delicate fabrics and structured garments separately. A successful trial feels manageable for you and leaves seams and necklines relaxed, without requiring a claim that one loading method suits everyone.
