How to Iron Pants

Smooth out your style.

Did you know one of the best tools a man can have in his style arsenal is a decent iron and ironing board? Yes, seriously.

Ironing pants is a talent everyone possesses: you just need to unlock your inner ironing potential. It doesn’t matter how beautiful the suit is or how expensive those pants are, if they aren’t ironed and pressed properly you may has well have turned up in your boxers or khaki shorts. 

When learning how to iron pants, don’t have the iron too hot. It’ll take a little longer to get the creases out, but wouldn’t you rather that than a burn mark? Elegance takes patience. 

 
  • Turn

    01

    Turn pants inside out. Start with the pockets, laying them flat against the board.

  • Flat

    02

    Iron in this order: Flies, seams and hem on one leg. The same again on the other.

  • Line

    03

    Line up the waistband and board. Place the pants flies down. Iron the waistband.

  • Lift

    04

    Line legs up. Lift the top leg and iron the inside of the bottom. Flip and repeat. 

  • Crease 

    05

    Get a crease: align the inseams, lay pant legs on the board and iron over the edges.
