What is the purpose of a valet stand?

Valet stands are primarily used to hang a man's suit jacket, shirt, pants, belt and necktie. Many valet stands provide spots to place everyday necessities such as jewelry, wallet and glasses. These pieces of clothing may be hung to air after use or in preparation for the next day's outfit.

Valet stands come in a wide variety of designs depending on aesthetic preferences and space and storage limitations. They typically come with a coat hanger, horizontal dowel rods, a shoe rack and a tray for other accessories. Valet stands usually measure about 3.5 feet in height and sometimes come with a mirror and other additional features.
