Up and at'em

One of the best ways to ruin a great outfit is to wear it wrinkled. It makes it appear as if you wore it the previous day, went to bed in it, and then got up and wore it again. If you ask have to ask what's wrong with that, you've got a serious wardrobe malfunction. I know you don't want to iron your clothes. That's o.k. There are alternatives.

Alternative one: Pick out clothes in materials that don't easily wrinkle. Wool and wool weaves hold up well. Cotton and silk are not good choices. Although, some have been treated and are wrinkle resistent. Read the tag and check. If it says it is, then, it should be easier to upkeep.

Alternative two: Hang up all your clothes upon immediately removing them from the dryer. The problem comes from hanging them up in your closet. If it is overly crowded your clothes will get wrinkled anyway. A second dilemma occurs if you own clothes you can't put in the dryer. However, that 's not an insurmountable problem. Their are some sprays which you spritz on your clothes, smooth out the wrinkles, then, hang to dry.

Alternative three: Don't worry about it and if your clothes do get wrinkled hang them up in the bathroom, put your shower on hot, then, blast it. Make sure to close the door. In most cases, this method of steaming your clothes will get out the wrinkles. If not, there is a handheld steamer you can use.

Alternative four: Let your clothes air dry and use a spray for dry clothes.

Alternative five: Give in gracefully and iron them already! It probably takes more energy to fight it, than it does to just get it over with. That being said, I go to any length to avoid ironing my own clothes so, I am well acquainted with the age old dilemma.

Most of my friends laugh at me because I own an iron and an ironing board. Yes I iron my clothes more often than not. Doesn't have to be a perfect job but i try to get the big wrinkles out.
