Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

Dress has become more casual. The business suit was originally casual dress, for hunting, and that with a waistcoat too. Casual Fridays turned into business-casual in the 90s. Then the pandemic fully killed any context for dress and now for a lot of workplaces you can wear whatever.

I like to iron my button-up shirts after a wash or if they’re wrinkled from being packed up for travel but I’m aware it’s odd.

I’ve heard that steamers are a good alternative to ironing, because they’re easier to use and quicker. You can’t get a crisp crease with them but they will take out wrinkles.
