Q&A: Secrets for a Wrinkle Free Shirt
April 18th, 2007
Q: How do I keep my shirt wrinkle-free while driving to work?
A: We hate the look of a wrinkled shirt too–and have three suggestions for you:
Wear a wrinkle-resistant shirt. Try wearing wrinkle-resistant shirts, which are chemically treated to keep wrinkles at bay. We like Brooks Brothers’ non-iron broadcloth shirts (pictured at left).
Take it off. Keep it on a hanger in the back of the car, and put on the shirt once you get to work.
Keep a hand steamer handy. Duck into the bathroom and freshen up your look in a snap with a portable steamer, such as this handheld model from Conair.

Be careful about chemically treated shirts……the chemicals are toxic and will absorbed by your skin into your bloodstream! I vote for a steamer at work.

I also recommend Nordstrom “SmartCare” shirts. Both the BB and Nordie’s shirts are supposedly made the same way.
