It is impossible to wear clothes that are not ironed. But I never iron clothes. My wife does all the ironing. I can't remember when I last held the iron. Maybe in some emergency. But I played an important role in ironing. I bought the iron.

I dont agree with you that buying the iron is an important role. Ironing should be a male role. Thanks.

I iron all the time, and I even iron my husband's t-shirts because they will look much neater when they are pressed. I am very skeptical about personal appearance and ironing is one of the must-to-do chores that I put in my top 10 list.

My mom does the ironing. Actually, I tell her that she can skip ironing my jeans and clothes, cause I usually buy clothes that are dressy and soft, so they basically do not wrinkle as much after washing, as for the jeans, they are usually fitted, so once I wear them, any crease or wrinkle will not show anyway. As for my brother's stuff, they usually have to be ironed. Any my mom is a perfectionist in ironing, since she does not want her children wearing wrinkly stuff.

We are four in our family. We send male cloths to the shop of laundry man, and he iron all of the sent cloth to his shop on nominal pament of per suit. But some time in urgency we practice it at home.

I iron next to never. There are a few pieces in my wardrobe that do require it. I always pull everything out of the dryer as soon as they're done and hang them up. That way they stay nice and wrinkle-free. Also, sometimes if I have a pair of dress pants that I'm going to wear, I will iron them, just to get the nice creases.

i like wearing presentable clothes.so if the fabric really needs to get ironed,then i will definitely do that.some don't need it at all and look good as it is.but especially the cotton and chiffon needs ironing as they tend to get wrinkled up.but its not that urgent to iron all the clothes.sometimes frequent ironing could damage the fabric itself. for a formal look its compulsory.and for men its surely needed as they wear shirts and they can't be wore without that line of fold marks on it.

I am too lazy to iron clothes. So when I am going to buy a new clothes, I will pay attention to the quality. I won't be something that needs to be ironed. If the cloth is easily to be wrinkled up after wash it, I won't buy it at all.

yes i iron my own clothes. I can not stand wrinkles! I do not let anyone else iron it for me because i trust they will not do it thoroughly enough. I often iron the clothes i am going out with.

if it isn't too wrinkled, there's no need to iron it at all. i usually hang my clothes so they don't get wrinkled easily.

It looks neat, crisp and clean when ironed. I don't have the time or energy to iron my clothes. But they do look nicer that way. Of course, I only believe in ironing formal wear, never t-shirts and jeans.

I iron on an "as-needed" basis, and sometimes not even then. If something truly needs ironing, I often iron right before I will wear it. If it is for work, then maybe I will iron it the night before. I detest ironing!!!!!

I iron my clothes when it is necessary. If it is too wrinkled that is the time that I will use the iron. When I am buying clothes , I always choose the one who doesn't need to be ironed somewhat silk, rayon etc. I am lazy in ironing my clothes and it is also economical. Low electric bills. I hope you will agree on that.
