Starch to prevent wrinkles in shirts? HELP

All,

Has anyone had success using starch on their shirts to prevent wrinkles? I just bought 5 CT "non iron" Dress shirts and ALL OF THEM WRINKLE LIKE A BI***.

Not sure what happened with my order. I've order a handful of business-casual non iron shirts from CT before, and I've honestly never had to iron them. I went with dress shirts rather than bus casual and they are practically ruined by the time I get to the office.

Tyrwhitt offers both non-iron and regular shirts, so perhaps there was an error with your order. Unfortunately, the treatment that makes them non-iron also reduces the breathability of the cotton, which is a problem in summer. Performance shirts offer more breathable fabrics, but usually require you to pick a S/M/L size that might not fit you very well.

For cooler months, look for a thicker twill weave fabric that's less prone to wrinkling.

 

Like someone said, high quality cotton shirts wrinkle a lot. Weird that high quality clothes wrinkle more, but it’s sadly the case.
