I'm a solutions engineer and have weekly meetings with corporate (VPs, directors, etc) where I Have to present, along with the idea that at any moment I could be called to meet with them. For me I think dressing nice and being noticed is a good thing. This is a highly visible position.
I also feel like I finally perfected the art of ironing a shirt and pressing dress slacks. Shit evaded me for so long, but I finally figured it out. I definitely notice a lot of other dudes with wrinkled shirts, or ironed incorrectly, or creases down their arms, or pants that are scorched. I am turning into a snob.

I still don't know how to iron correctly. I know how to iron technically correctly, but that came from the military, which is very different than businesswear. I am pretty sure I look like an asshole to people like you. I iron the crease down the sleeves of my shirts;( We were taught that in boot camp and I had no idea until literally now reading your post that I wasn't supposed to do that.

It's a matter of preference I think. Some places say to do it, some say don't. The best way to not get a crease is to literally not iron the edge of the sleeves, you fucking asshole.

It's easy! You drop the shirts off at a cleaner and pay them $3 a shirt to do it for you. They come out perfect every time!

Non-iron shirts are hardly wrinkle free. In fact, I'd be willing to guess that a large number of the "noticeably wrinkled, but not terribly so" shirts that I see are, in fact, marked as non-iron on the tag. Sure, they won't look like a complete mess, but they won't be nearly as crisp as a freshly ironed shirt.
