    I always ironed down the middle of the sleeve without making creases, then flipped them *once* at a 90 degree angle and did the same again.

    No crease without the extra work.

        I've never been keen on that idea. But I think you combine that with your "wear a jumper over the top of the shirt" strategy so no one sees how badly creased the shirt is. Don't worry...your secret is safe with me. And the rest of the internet

            I prefer the take the shirts right out of the dryer and put them on hangers method of avoiding wrinkles . Sure, it isn't as good as the ironed the night before look, but its decent enough.

              I'm close to that idea. I leave them in the dryer and recirculate, then take one out and wear it. Tomorrow, repeat.

                    Perhaps we could call it a jumpsey - that'll make everyone happy

                        And if anyone gives you crap about it, brag about how it's the "green" alternative and look down on them. The whole office will be on board before you know it.

                          Hang it up in the bathroom while taking a hot shower.

                            My long-sleeve dress shirts always had creases.
                            I wore white socks with sneakers.

                              White socks are great for everything but dress clothes.

                                Does that really work? I'm really trying to find an alternative to ironing.

                                Ironing is such an ancient method, why has no one come up with a better way to straighten out your clothes yet?! I am sick of gradually ruining my clothes due to ironing, not to mention sweating, fear of burning self and fear of forgetting to turn it off before going to work.
