What to Do with Your Trousers in Three Different Ways

1. 1

   Choose which pants to fold. Instead of rolling, you should fold your business pants and other pants made from wrinkle-prone fabrics. If you need to bring dress pants to a meeting or other event that requires them, you should fold them so that they don't arrive at your destination completely lined with wrinkles.

   • Always fold your suit pants instead of rolling them, as this prevents wrinkles from forming.
   • 100% cotton pants should be folded and stored in a drawer because of their tendency to wrinkle.

2. 2

   One should always begin with pants that have been ironed. Your wrinkled pants will look even worse after being in your suitcase for several hours. If you iron your pants before you pack them, you might just be able to pull them out of the suitcase and into the office.

   The pants are folded in half with the legs overlapping. Fold your legs in half by crossing one over the other. The fold should be centered over the crotch seam. At this time, it is imperative that you straighten your legs in order to avoid the formation of creases.

   Put your nicest pants in your suit case. Use a suit bag that allows you to pack your pants vertically, without folding them in half, if you are worried about wrinkles or need to wear them right away at your destination. In order to avoid wrinkles in your pants, try this.

   • Use a hanger made specifically for pants so as not to rip the material. Certain types of pant hangers necessitate the pants be folded in half at the knee and slung over the top of the hanger.
   • If you want them to stay wrinkle-free throughout the day, make sure to fold them straight and store them in your suit bag.
