Boomer here – we iron so little our son didn’t recognise an ironing board in a picture book and thought it was a surfboard.
I still use an iron from time to time. Not often though.
I iron and steam my clothes. Not all the time but anything that needs it, like work clothes.
I don’t iron everything, but some things are too wrinkled to not. What are people wearing, just sweatpants?
This has creased me
Some of us still have jobs we need to dress up for. I dress business casual most days and generally need to iron a shit once or twice a week.
Edit: I’m letting it ride right down my leg.
I like ironing my shirts, it’s a good mindless task and then they’re all crisp and neat
What’s wrong with not wanting wrinkled clothes?
Does gen-X, the progenitor of Grunge, mean nothing to you?
Of course forgetting Gen-X is the most Gen-X thing…
I do for 3 reasons. Wedding, funeral, or interview.
I iron atleast twice or thrice every month. Not a fan of crinkly clothes.
When I moved out my mom bought me a steamer for ironing my clothes, still in the box 6 years later 🤷🏻♂️
I definitely still Iron my clothes when needed.
Iron? I barely fold 😂
My kid still irons his shirts
Until last year, I genuinely thought ironing was “something of the past.” As in, it was a fad in like the 40’s or 50’s.
I iron almost daily. If my main top is a tee shirt I’ll iron that. Feels good to step out of the house looking out together, even if the outfit is athleisure.
I love ironing my clothes
Not sure how people wear button up shirts at work without ironing. Even if you hang them up to dry when still a bit wet, it’s not the same. I hate ironing but shirts look like shit when crumpled up, it’s not that big of a deal to care about what you look like
Not me lol, I hate steamers, I will always use an iron
I do have a wrinkled collar on something that’s bugging the fuck outta me lmao
When me and my friends were like 19 one of them admitted to ironing all his clothes and he got clowned on for the rest of the night
I steam all of my clothes because I don’t want to look like a wrinkled slob
I like ironing.
I iron my clothes bruh, it makes them so nice
Is this an american thing? Here in europe where I’ve lived people tend to still iron clothes that need it.
I still iron bc I like to not look like a Redditor
Turning from clothes to skis.
This has more to do with the quality of the materials being used to make clothing with anti-wrinkle properties. (Quality may be a questionable term given the microplastics those same materials are putting in our bodies.)
