Looking for low maintenance / no iron smart casual wear for the office. Recommendations? (Male)

JackieChang

Fecking sick of ironing shirts and chinos.

Is there anything that doesn't require ironing but I still look "smart casual" in?

Not sure if jeans are possible.

Chinos and shirts are still fine but maybe a certain material that I should look out for?

Cape Clear

It's a WashIronFeed Etc. You need.

I googled that and didn't find anything. What is WashIronFeed?

I had some linen trousers from H&M that I wore to death. Not sure if they will have them again this summer.

Looked smart and no ironing was needed.

What about polo shirts?

Look for 100% cotton M&S or Eterna Non-Iron shirts for office wear. They are a little more expensive than your usual but they last. Cheaper alternatives tend to use a chemical coating on poly-mix materials which just means sweat.

Linen that doesn't need ironing? What kind of witchcraft is this??? Linen usually needs to be ironed if you so much as look at it.

WashIronFeed Etc.

Think it was a cotton-linen blend witchcraft.

You can go for the "it's supposed to be creased" look.

Where I am, not being naked is OK for WFH calls, and office days have become a lot more casual. We don't have public/clients on-prem which helps. 5 years ago I wouldn't have worn jeans and t-shirts in the office but now that's my norm and nobody cares.

If nothing else, covid has hastened the death of the tie even in more formal workplaces, which can only be a good thing.
