I don't think it really matters if your shirt is wrinkled*. I used to work a suit and tie job in a past life, while the suit part would get regularly dry cleaned, the inner button down shirt and slacks would get washed and dried with the rest of the laundry and never ironed. Nobody ever said, emailed, sticky noted a damn thing that affected my career or social work-life sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

*Except the following groups: Politicians, Celebrities, Rich people, Executives.

I mean some people like clothes

I like to look sharp and dress nicely, not to advance a career, if I do it at work it's really just for my colleagues and for the hell of rocking something with style. Outside of work too

I feel like creased clothed would nullify any fashion reaches whether it's nice shoes, a peculiar and unique shirt or a cool blouse; put on a creased shirt and it makes or break the line between "a bold choice" to "ah, that man dressed like he doesn't know what he's doing"

I feel like that's a bit different, if it's something you enjoy that's great!

What I was more against was when people make ironing out to be some requirement of life, another chore that needs to be done just like the dishes or laundry itself.
