in the philippines, everything should be ironed. Actually, it would be a shame going out in public having your clothes in a "rough" shape. But when i came here in Scandinavian country, only some of the clothes are ironed. Only those party and office clothes.

I don't always iron my cloths specially just for using in house, only the cloths for going outside I iron, Actually when I wash my cloth I do make good hang them so its not very rough shape....and fold it well...

Yes If I have to. Most of my clothes don't go wrinkle so it is fine for now going out not ironing the clothes and also cause I am a student. Mostly wear casually. But when I have to work in the hospital for practice everyday I have to have my clothes ironed otherwise I don't know what my colleugues and patients will think about me. .messy doctor. maybe they won't trust me hehe

I don't think that I have ever ironed my clothes. I don't really dress up too often in clothes that need ironed anyway.

Sometimes I don`t. Flexible textiles: why to iron them? And it takes too much time to iron a piece of cloth. And I wash them so often. Would be more shameful thing to go outside without any cloth on You, then to go out with not ironed cloth!!!

Well, I live smack dab in the middle of the U.S. and I iron NOTHING! I hang or lay-flat dress clothes to dry, and may do a little touch-up with an iron for REALLY special occasions, but I definitely don't iron very often! I'm so glad I don't live where you do... I would be a walking disgrace! ;)

I must admit that I don't iron everything. I will iron most clothes, especially those worn for work and going out, but some things are just supposed to be for laying round the house in. These items I don't tend to iron because they will get creased quite quickly anyway. I also like to have freshly ironed bed sheets, but sometimes I get away with hanging on the line to dry and then I fold them and put them in the airing cupboard without ironing as they are not really creased. Some people go to extremes and iron everything, down to their socks and undies! I just don't have the time.

Great question! I would love to just throw clothes on, but I'm no Sleeping Beauty, and the early morning practices must be observed in my case. Also, I'm a business student, so if I don't look professional, there goes a job or an investment as my prep prof says. Looks shouldn't be everything but I think Ironing should be somewhat important.
