I use under-the-bed cloth storage rectangles from IKEA. They zip closed, stand up on their own, and are (somewhat) eco-friendly. I’ve had mine for 6 years and 4 moves. I love them!

The ones I use

An even more eco-friendly version

The cloth one doesn't keep the dust/smell of dust?

I have all my clothes and linen in a closet and they just sit there and get dust smell even if its buried under other clothes.

No, I store my sweaters in there between seasons! I’ve brushed off a thick layer of dust off the top of these storage bins, but I haven’t experienced the smell make it to my sweaters

Honestly that sounds like an issue of the specific environment. Dust covers can only do so much. If the space is exceptionally dusty or musty, DampRid and a fan with an air filter are going to help more.

How dusty are these clothes getting between wearings? or are they things not being worn?

I'm familiar with musty smells, they originate in high humidity or water exposure, but dust itself I never thought of as having a smell? maybe I'm odd?
