Fold It Into a Rectangle

Roll It

The rolling method is best suited for soft-textured, more relaxed-style button-up shirts such as a chambray or flannel one.

Fold It Like a Retail Store

This folding method is a good way to keep button-up dress shirts crisp and pristine.

Storing Folded Button-Up Shirts

There are a couple of different ways to store folded button-up shirts to preserve a crisp fold and keep them from getting wrinkled. Shirts folded into a rectangle according to the first method can be stored upright in a drawer. Use drawer dividers or bins to create compartments within the drawer to help shirts stay in place, to separate different types and to make putting away folded laundry easier. Store rolled shirts in the same way, placing them in bins or organizing them in dividers. For button-up shirts folded using the third method, stack them on a shelf. Keep the stacks short as this will keep the shirts on the bottom from being squashed under the weight of too many shirts and they’ll stay nice and pristine.
