Wrinkled clothes in meetings.
Dec 08, 2025 5:01 am
Hi ,
You showed up to that meeting with wrinkled clothes.
Deep creases in your blouse. Crumpled skirt. A jacket that looks slept in.
Nobody heard your presentation. They saw wrinkles and thought you're barely keeping up.
Wrinkled clothes send one message: I'm overwhelmed, and I can't handle basic tasks.
The solution takes three minutes:
Steam them. Iron them. Hang them properly.
Your Monday morning routine needs to change:
Sunday night, check your Monday outfit. Actually, try it on. Look for wrinkles, stains, missing buttons, and loose hems.
Handle issues on Sunday night. Not Monday morning when you're rushing.
Keep a steamer at home. They're faster than irons and easier to use.
December is too busy for wrinkled clothes:
Year-end meetings, where promotions are discussed.
Client dinners, where partnerships are formed.
Holiday parties, where networking happens.
Award ceremonies, where photos are taken.
Buy a steamer this week if you don't have one.
Use it every Sunday night to prep your week's outfits.
Smooth clothes say you have your life together. Wrinkled clothes say the opposite.
Three minutes of steaming beats hours of feeling self-conscious in wrinkled clothes.
To your best image,
Funke Roberts 🧡
P.S. Hang clothes immediately after wearing them. Smooth them out first. This prevents most wrinkles from forming.
