Only if you don’t want wrinkles.

So why do they ask me then? Why not just put starch on them automatically?

Starch looks better. No starch feels better. It’s your call.

And remember: it is better to look good than to feel good, as Billy Crystal once said.

It’s a personal dress preference.
However only 100% cotton shirts will starch well.

Of course you can't. They sell them in pairs.

“So why do they ask me then? Why not just put starch on them automatically?”

Because:

A. Some people don’t like starched shirts ( they tend to look like slobs)
B. Some people buy permanent press shirts (cotton-polyester blends which don’t take starch well), but send them out to be laundered.

starch, starch, and more starch. I dropped my shirts— 5 or 6, covered in plastic on hangers— while walking back to the car. They stood up in the parking lot.

starch them until they scream.

I light starch new shirts.

When they’re getting aged, no starch.

I’m a woman BTW but I’d suggest this generally. I like to keep my clothes a looong time.

I’m a no starch guy.

Totally personal preference IMO.

I’ve been getting no starch on my shirts. It does feel more comfortable wearing shirts with no starch. So just curious on why starch is such a thing.
