How to Iron a Dress Shirt

How to iron a dress shirt, you ask? Awww (sad face), you must miss the days when mom used to iron your dress shirts just because she loved you…

Well, stop kvetching, and count your blessings (at least you had a mom). Some of us weren’t so lucky. And by that, I mean, I had a mom, but she never ironed. I was def sporting wrinkles even before they were fashionable. So I understand your plight. Ironing dress shirts is hard. Especially, if your only iron tutorial was on the back of the iron box.

But boy do we have good news! We’ve found some great videos to show you the ironing ropes. Now all that’s left is deciding whether you prefer to learn from our sarcastic friends at Esquire, or our favorite housewives at Real Simple (aka do you want to be entertained or to actually learn how to iron a dress shirt?). Kinda like those “Choose Your Own Adventure Books,” now that we think about it.

Not up to the challenge? Lucky for you, there is always a lazy alternative (don’t worry—no judging here). The dry cleaner. Might not be quite as good as good mom, but who is, really?
