Non-iron shirts - do they really look ok?

[bran]

Or do they just look as though you've made a half-hearted attempt with a cool iron? I saw some in the Lands End catalogue (which I've never bought from before as it's a bit too bland and preppy for me) and I wondered if they would be good for work.

You can't not iron them if you want to look smart - but they do iron in about half the time of a regular shirt, so they do labour-save.

They're probably no for me then, I don't want to get the ironing board out at all. Thanks Kif.

welcome to MrsBadger's Guide to Workwear:

non-iron shirts - still need ironing unless tumbled dry and hung straight up. Tend to be made of polyester blends (ugh). Rubbish.

easy-iron shirts - still need ironing (but are indeed easy), tend to be pure cotton. Pretty good.

smart jersey tops - never need ironing ever. Brilliant!

Thanks MrsBadger. Jersey tops and t-shirts are what I wear anyway as it's not very formal at work. I just fancied a change, but I know from experience that if I buy something that has to be ironed it'll get worn once, then washed and then hang in the wardrobe until I chuck it out.

ok if hung up in airing cupboard but still look crisper if ironed occasioanlly.
