Most guys have gone through the nightmare of waking up in the morning only to find that all his dress shirts are dirty, wrinkled or otherwise in a condition unfit for wearing. Heck, you’ve probably experienced the same dilemma yourself. What are your options in such a situation?
You can’t very well go to work in wrinkled, disheveled clothing; that gives your boss and co-workers the impression that you’re not really eager about showing up and holding on to your job. Showing up in – heaven forbid – casual attire is an even worse statement. Not only will you look unfashionable, you’ll stick out like a sore, underdressed thumb at the office as well. Here’s how to get out of this clothing catastrophe.
Quick Fashion Fixes
First things first: look for a clean shirt. ‘Clean’ here doesn’t necessarily mean pristine and just-from-the-cleaners clean. In fact, any shirt isn’t malodorous or visibly stained will do for this emergency. Don’t stop with your closet; look through all your previous overnight bags and gym duffels in case you’ve left a couple there by accident. As soon as you’ve found one, hang it on a good hanger to give it time to settle and un-wrinkle with gravity.
If you’ve finished with your morning Cheerios and the shirt is still wrinkly, it’s time to move to Step 2. Grab your steam iron or clothes steamer, fill ‘er up with water and steam down those wrinkles. No steamer? No problem! Hang your shirt up in the bathroom and then take a nice, long hot shower. The steam from your bath should be sufficient to solve the most stubborn wrinkles in the shirt.
