I don't mind ironing, but I just don't have the time to do it right now. I'm in graduate school, so that means I balance class/dissertation work/work study job/real life responsibilities with my practicum work. The practicum is where I am actually practicing under the supervision of a psychologist. I do it two days a week, one in a primary medical setting, and one in a community mental health center. On those two days I have to look professional. I love button down shirts, but the ones in my closet that get the most use are these Van Heusen No-Iron Shirts. They have simplified my life! They are available in both women and men's sections. Van Heusen frequently has sales/coupons, so if you have a location near you be sure to register at the website of the mall the store is located in. The only drawback of these shirts is they contain polyester. The polyester is what makes them not wrinkle, but it also doesn't breathe. If you are a person that sweats a lot, beware! Another option is Brooks Brothers' no iron shirts. They are treated cotton, but are much more expensive.
No ironing works for me!

Those shirts look very nice! Unfortunately my husband would never go for them, not even the treated cotton (it still feels like plastic).
Myself, I usually go for a sweater or a knit top and avoid ironing all together, but I know that doesn't work in every profession.
Blessings!
as a fellow grad schooler, I understand how busy you are.
I haven't tried them, but the Lands End no iron shirts have been recommened to me.
My beloved has a closet full of the wrinkle free shirts from Brooks Brothers. He bought them with me in mind. ;0) I used to go crazy starching his shirts so they would stay wrinkle free through out the day for his meetings, etc. They honestly don't feel like plastic. For that price, they better not. lol
I'm all for no ironing! :-) Okay, I hate ironing! If your wrinkles aren't to deeply set and the fabric is the kind that can take a little heat, tossing them in the dryer for a few minutes can really 'de-wrinkle' fast and easy. Hang up after the dryer treatment sot hey don't re-wrinkle even worse.
