Wardrobe Hacks
otterhound | Apr 23 2006
I'm working on a minimalist, utilitarian wardrobe. I don't want to have to think about dressing and I don't want to help a dry cleaner with his car payments. I am lucky to be able to dress as I like, within reason. I live in a hot climate (Dallas), where we recently enjoyed some lovely 100 degree April days. My current thinking is to go to 100% khakis and plain white t-shirts. Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter. Boring, yes, but totally inoffensive. I can keep the t-shirts nice by simply bleaching them and trying to keep them relatively unwrinkled. The khaki's can similarly be maintained somewhat unwrinkled and be fine. Are any of you doing wardrobe hacks? 35 Comments

If anybody ever wears button up shirts -- your know, oxfords and the like -- LL Bean has "wrinkle resistant" that are great. I bought some for my husband and a couple for me and they are minimal care. If you can manage to just pull them out of dryer immediately and hang them up, they look like they've been ironed. And even though they are 100% cotton, they stay crisp and unwrinkled when you wear them. Yes yes!! As well, even though more expensive, Eddie Bauer has some fantastic wrinkle and stain resistant shirts. [Same sort of vein, but sometimes have darker colors that I like a bit better than LLBean- BTW, I love LLB...] BTW, my GF claims I *must* wear these teflon coated clothes... and they've saved me numerous times. For a few weeks there, a day didn't go buy when I didn't get something on me... :) ps- I'd love to wear a blazer every day, but my GF would have my head on a pike... she laughs at my fountain-pen using, Tilley-hat owning, pipe-smoking self already... but, having more pockets would really really be great. I might just need to check out a few blazers again... ;) Any rules about wearing Tweed? » POSTED IN:
