Along with the Bermuda Triangle and where all the bobby pins disappear to, the purpose of those weird ribbon loops on your clothes has remained one of the world’s biggest mysteries.
Until now.
Turns out they do have quite an important purpose and do not exist purely to sneak out in important photos and opportune (ahem) moments.
No, it's not an badly made extra arm hole.
According to Viral Thread, they're designed to ensure your clothes don't slip off the clothes hanger every three seconds.

I like them--especially with knits and stretchy fabric. Folded clothes always get wrinkled and thus look a little sloppy, but if you hang them and use the loops to help distribute the weight better they'll look great, especially if they're still slightly damp out of the dryer. As you can see, I've probably spent way too much time thinking about this, though. :)
