Other wrinkle-resistant fabrics

If you are wondering which other wash-and-wear fabrics are convenient, then go for these.

• Polyester – durable, stain-resistant, easy to clean, and affordable, making it perfect for workwear.
• Wool – a biodegradable fabric suitable for wet and cold weather because it is water-resistant. It can also help regulate body temperature during summer.
• Lyocell, or Tencel, is a soft, durable, stretchy, and hypoallergenic fabric, making it ideal for activewear.

As a person who hates ironing, you should avoid clothes made of cotton, linen, and rayon. Though if these fabrics are blended with other materials, they can still be more wrinkle-resistant.
