Find the real constraint
If bulky hangers dominate a rail of lightweight shirts, changing their profile may make a noticeable difference. If the same rail is packed with thick outerwear, garment bulk can be the larger constraint. Look at what occupies the space before choosing a solution.
Check whether clothing is also disappearing behind stacks, trailing onto the floor, or waiting in laundry baskets because put-away is difficult. A new hanger cannot resolve a shelf that is too deep or a category that has no assigned home. Those problems deserve their own adjustments.
Make one useful change at a time
Try Toga with a defined group of suitable garments and leave the rest of the layout stable. Compare handling and access as well as the width of the group. Keep enough room to separate one shirt without dragging its neighbors off the rail.
Then consider adjacent improvements: move folded knitwear to a reachable shelf, keep empty hangers together, or place frequently worn items near the front. A closet works as a sequence of small actions. The aim is for thinner hangers to support that sequence where useful, not to justify filling every newly available gap.
