Iron your shirt like a boss
MOST men have a tendency of wanting to get to work early or go for an interview but their shirt aren't just as professional looking as they hoped it would be.
The website realmenrealstyle. com offers seven simple steps to ironing your shirt in two minutes without hassle.
All you need is a clean iron, a freshly laundered shirt, a clean standard ironing board and distilled water to reduce the risk of burning the fabric.
Once you've got this all figured out, start with: Step 1: The back of the collar
Begin at the edges of the back of the collar ironing towards the middle. Step 2: The cuffs
First, iron the inside of the cuffs to remove the main creases — again moving from the edges towards the middle. Iron the outside area using the same method. Iron gently around the buttons to avoid damage. Step 3: The sleeves
Smooth out the sleeves with your hands before placing the iron over them. This helps prevent unwanted creases. Start with the tip of the iron at the cuffs – then work your way back to the shoulders. Flip the sleeve over for a quick touch up. Step 4: The back
Be extra careful when ironing your shits with pleats on it. Start under the pleats before ironing on top of them. Then proceed with ironing the rest of the back . Step 5: The shoulders
It's time to work on the shoulders (also called the yoke). Place the shirt so that the narrow end of the ironing board is inside one of the sleeves. Iron the yoke, moving from the outer edge towards the middle. Then flip the shirt so as to position the other sleeve on that end of the board. Repeat the same steps. Step 6: The front and placket
The next stage covers the front. Be gentle when ironing around buttons – you don't want to damage them or make the threads go loose. Your aim is to get the placket nice and crisp since it's one of most essential parts of your shirt. For the shirt pocket, start from the outside moving in to prevent creases. Step 7: The front of the collar
Finish up by ironing the front of the collar.
Apply the same method you used in step number one — starting at the edges and working your way towards the middle.
