How to take care of your knitted overshirt?
A few simple steps for an overshirt that's always impeccable, without ironing
The overshirt has become a staple of the modern wardrobe. Part shirt, part jacket, it adapts to all seasons and occasions. But among all the existing versions, the wrinkle-free knit overshirt stands out for its comfort and practicality. Its biggest advantage? It doesn't require ironing. However, a little care can help preserve its shape and softness over time.
A material designed for simplicity
Wrinkle-resistant knitwear is a technical fabric designed to remain smooth and flawless all day long. Its soft, elastic structure prevents wrinkles from forming, even after several hours of wear or even after being packed in a suitcase. It's therefore the ideal ally for those looking for an elegant yet easy-to-wear garment.
Caring for a wrinkle-resistant overshirt is just like it: simple, quick, and effective. No need to get out the iron or take it to the dry cleaners. A few simple steps are all it takes to keep it as beautiful as the first day.
Gentle washing
The secret to long-lasting clothing is careful washing. For your wrinkle-free knit overshirt, choose a low temperature wash, ideally 30°C, to preserve the fiber and its anti-wrinkle properties.
Choose a gentle cycle and avoid overloading your machine: the fabric needs space to retain its natural suppleness. Once the cycle is complete, remove the overshirt immediately: leaving it piled up in the drum can create slight marks, even on wrinkle-free knitwear.
A mild detergent is more than enough for your laundry. There's no need to add fabric softener or bleach: these products can alter the fiber's condition and reduce its wrinkle-free effect.
Natural drying for a perfect finish
No need to get out the dryer! The wrinkle-free knit dries quickly in the open air. Simply hang your overshirt on a hanger after washing, preferably in a shaded, well-ventilated area. The fabric will fall naturally, without wrinkles or drying marks.
In a few hours, it will regain its original shape, ready to be worn again. This gentle drying also extends the life of your garment by preventing friction and excessive heat.
Ironing? Not necessary!
That's the whole point of a wrinkle-free knit overshirt: it doesn't require ironing. Its specific texture allows it to maintain a crisp appearance, even after several washes. However, if you want to perfect its drape, a simple steam pass from a distance will be enough to relax the fibers. No need to put the iron down: the gentle heat of a vertical steamer will instantly restore the material's smooth appearance.
Store it properly to keep it looking good for longer
Finally, storage plays a role in the durability of your overshirt. Hang it on a wide hanger rather than folding it. This will prevent unnecessary creases and preserve the garment's fit. If you must transport it, fold it gently and unfold it upon arrival: the fabric will quickly return to its original shape.
In short, the care checklist:
✅ Wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C on a gentle cycle
✅ Use a light detergent without harsh additives
✅ Take the overshirt out as soon as it's washed to avoid wrinkles
✅ Hang it on a hanger to air dry naturally
What to avoid to preserve your knit overshirt:
❌ Conventional ironing at high heat
❌ Tumble drying, which can damage the knit and its wrinkle-resistant finish
❌ Fabric softeners and bleaching products, which are too harsh on the fiber
❌ Leaving the garment wet or folded after washing
