Watch where it moves
Load the garment and notice whether a wide neckline slides toward one end, a sleeve pulls down, or the entire piece shifts along a steep shoulder. Smooth fabric, unequal weight, and a hanger that is too narrow can all contribute. Check for built-in hanging loops and use them only as intended. A weighted pocket or a loose belt can also pull a garment off balance, so empty pockets before deciding the hanger is at fault.
Match the remedy
Try a different width or shoulder profile before adding grip accessories. Clips may help certain skirts or trousers, but they can mark delicate surfaces and need their own trial. Do not stretch a neckline merely to keep it fixed in place. For an unusually heavy or flexible piece, folded storage may be more suitable. After making a change, inspect the garment where it contacts the hanger. The goal is secure support without replacing slipping with tension, dents, or snagging.
