In a recent issue of Esquire magazine (click here), J.Crew's Frank Muytjens (Vice-President of men's design at J.Crew) offered a tip on how to rumple a shirt for that casual-cool look. His advice is to "Put your shirt on a hanger straight out of the dryer with the top button closed. Don't let it linger in the dryer — you'll create creases that will force you to iron the shirt. Just straighten out the collar a bit and let it hang."
You have to also admire the advice provided by Zeke Warren-Welgmann (a 9 year-old student): "Ball up your shirt into as round a ball as you can, put rubber bands around it, and throw it into a backpack overnight. Release and shake out."
I use to love the "rumple shirt" look for a guy and I even rocked the look myself several years ago. But now, I find the look to be "too unprofessional" to wear for work or even casually (for me anyways). (Is this a sign that I am growing up?) ;)What are your thoughts on the rumple shirt look? Is this a trend that is past its prime or is this trend still being rocked today? ;)
