Group by function first
Keep shaped jacket hangers together and use appropriate lighter supports for shirts or other compatible clothing. Turn hooks in the same direction and place garments consistently. Keep empty hangers in one short section instead of scattering them through the rail. A clear arrangement makes differences in material less visually distracting because each group has an understandable role.
Fix the obvious mismatches
Remove broken or rough hangers and check that shoulder widths suit the garments. Move specialty hangers to the items that need them rather than hiding them for the sake of appearance. If the closet still feels busy, simplify nearby bins and labels before replacing sound equipment. Take a quick look after laundry day to see whether the system is easy to restore. Cohesion should come from a repeatable layout, not from asking every piece of clothing to use the same hanger design regardless of its structure.
