Clothes valet, also called men's valet, valet stand and suit stand, is a piece of furniture to hang clothes on. Clothes are hung that are worn multiple times before laundering, such as a men's suit. Typical features of valets include trouser hangers, jacket hangers, shoe bars, and a tray organizer for miscellaneous, day-to-day objects like wallets and keys. Some also feature jewelry boxes.
Variants[edit]
An electric clothes valet is used to warm clothes before dressing; it includes a timer to prevent overheating.
Floor-standing clothes steamers can also have a fixed clothes hanger so that they can function as a combined clothes steamer and men's valet.
A valet rod is a pipe shaped clothes valet which protrudes from a cabinet or similar, and is used as a compact clothes valet.
Other meanings[edit]
In the United States, the term is frequently used to refer to a non-freestanding cabinet or tray for holding small personal items such as watches, cuff links, keys, or a cell phone. In this sense, it is a men's jewelry box.
