As a summer analyst, my most frustrating work is ironing shirts. I can stare at a computer screen for 5 hours without blinking, Powerpoint my way to stardom, and fetch coffee with the best of them, but these all pale in comparison to my arduous efforts to not look like a hobo everyday. For some reason, I was stupid and ironed one shirt every morning. In my stupor, I was often only half presentable. Clearly, I could batch process, but that's not the point-I hate ironing, almost as much as I hate Glen Beck. So, I ask: how can I get dry cleaning/ironing if I'm at the office at all hours of the day?
This does not just apply to ironing, but all clothing-related matters. What are your fashion basics and faux-pas? For me, I relish saving the 20 seconds every day with laceless shoes. Also, I take off my pants when I sit down to maintain the crease and avoid wrinkles. What saves you time in the morning and keeps you looking fly?
lolwut?
One of the many lessons from Seinfeld.
Send your shirts to a dry cleaner.
Really? Brooks Brothers non-iron shirts. Done.
rjroberts just solved your problem
Find a brick oven pizza place and ask if you they'll put your clothes in it
Haha yes I live my life by Seinfeld so I appreciate that comment keyboardcat. And I shall have to check out these Brooks Brothers shirts, thanks rjroberts. The real question is, do you wear an undershirt in the summer? It just makes it insanely hot, but without it, you pit like crazy.
always. Being uncomfortable > looking like crap
The undershirt dilemma has plagued mankind since its inception. Several Options:
A) Do I wear an undershirt and risk sweating profusely and looking like a kid at a middle school dance (I personally scoff when I can see a visible undershirt but I guess if you are wearing a tie it is unnoticable) but avoid potential sweat stains due to the first layer of protection.
B) Go sans undershirt and look like a rockstar, but have the inherent risk of not catching the 6 train for 10 minutes and sweating like OJ in his murder trial.
C) wear a v-neck so there is no noticable undershirt when you let a few buttons loose but still maintain protection and foster longer lasting shirts.
I work in trading and I havent seen a single person wear an undershirt. I dont know if thats because it is consistently 105 degrees in Houston or a matter of personal preference. But I avoid the undershirt like the plague. Tends to convey an uptight image IMO.
Brooks Brothers no wrinkle shirts do a decent job not getting rumpled, but they fit like crap. They billow in the back and "muffin top" around your waist. Not fly. You best bet is to get some slim fit or custom tailored shirts, and use a dry cleaner that will pick them up and drop them off at your apartment.
bring your stuff to a dry cleaner and get it hand pressed... then just buy a bunch of shirts and go to the dry cleaners once a week (or find a place that delivers)
get your shirt laundered... it's usually around 2 bucks, but you can prob find a place that goes lower.
My office has a place that launders shirt for 99c each, saves me time and trouble.
GET MARRIED
There's no amount of clean ironed shirts that would be able to make up for her eventually taking half your shit.
