How should I store all of these sweaters?

My husband loves sweaters. Thin ones, thick ones, cable ones, etc. All of our family and friends know that he loves sweaters, soooo that's the usual gift for his birthday, Father's Day and Christmas. I've given away many to charity, Goodwill and had yard sales, but he still has at least 40. He has them folded neatly and on the wire shelving in his closet, but they keep falling out. Any suggestions for storage where he can grab one when he wants to wear it-which could be daily. Thanks for the help.

    think about getting a storage seat sweaters wont fall out and once the lid is down you can sit on the rest

    Thanks for both of these ideas. Pinterest gave me even more ideas for a small space and I do like the storage seat (extra seating) idea.

    I am into rolling clothes. Redid a couple drawers this past year and was amazed how much room it saved! I also found fewer fold lines in the clothing!

    IKEA has some wonderful storage baskets, they are made out of some sort of Nylon with a zipper on the bottom. they are very sturdy although they do not look it. They sell a 3 pack for about $ 15.00 and they come in assorted colors.. white, black, mint green. We have used them for towels, sheets, tools - look online and you can find a pic of them. They do work wonders.

      I bought some of these a year ago and love them! They help make large wardrobes, dressers and closets a lot neater.

    I bought a cheap book case and put it in the guest room. Then I hung a curtain rod and drape from the top to the floor. You'd be surprised how many folded pieces of clothing you can stow in there. It's easy to take a sweater from the middle of a stack as it's not as high as an overhead closet shelf.

    I keep my sweaters rolled in a hanging shoe bag like the first pic.

    Then I've got another (2nd pic) that I didn't hang but laid it across the wire shelf, making nice cubbies for for lots of other pieces.

    (you can get either on Amazon

    Thanks everyone. I lived the bookcase idea and it is a perfect answer.
