I'm a packing expert, five easy ways to make sure your holiday clothes are crease free
THOUSANDS of Scots are jetting off on sunny hols this summer. And while it's lovely to get away, packing can be a nightmare. You get everything washed and ironed, but by the time you arrive at the hotel, everything is a creased mess. 2 But travel expert Noor de Swart, founder and CEO of Super Label Store, has shared budget tips that help keep your wardrobe fresh and wrinkle-free without ever touching an iron. SHAKE AND SMOOTH Proper handling is key to preventing stubborn wrinkles from forming. If you're living out of a suitcase or hotel room, give clothes a quick shake then hang your clothes as soon as you arrive. Most people unpack and immediately fold or stack their clothing again, which just sets in the wrinkles. IRON BAN Investing in a travel iron or portable steamed can be pricey. But Noor says you don't need anything fancy - a bathroom works just as well. Hang garments in the bathroom while taking a hot shower. The steam works especially well with lightweight or delicate fabrics. The packing pro also suggests taking a travel-sized spray bottle to lightly mist clothes with water before hanging them up. And you can grab a four-pack of travel bottles for just £1.50 in B&M. ROLL WITH IT The clothing expert has a simple trick that will help your clothes arrive in better shape at your destination – tissue paper. And you can grab three packs at Hobbycraft at the moment for just £3. Why you should NEVER use airport charging stations and which foods and drinks to avoid, warns travel expert When packing, place tissue paper between layers of clothing. It creates a soft buffer and helps prevent the pressure wrinkles. Meanwhile, roll garments instead of folding – especially for knitwear and casual shirts. It not only saves space, but also helps minimise hard crease lines that are tough to shake out on the road. LIGHTLY DOES IT It may be tempting to fill every inch of a carry-on, but overpacking doesn't help your clothes. Garments packed too tightly have no room to shift, so every crease becomes set. Leaving space means your garments can breathe, and it's easier to shake out wrinkles. SQUARE DEAL Use packing cubes to get the most out of your space. If you pack cubes loosely and sort by fabric type it means you're not compressing wrinkle-prone items like linen with heavier ones like denim. Primark currently stocks a set of three mesh cubes for just £8.

Wrinkle-free clothing is the unsung hero of travel, and luckily, Amazon Prime Day is here with a selection of smooth, flattering styles that instantly look put-together—even straight from the suitcase. If you're hoping to leave the steamer at home this summer, this is your chance to stock up on everything from flowy maxi dresses to effortless matching sets that won't show a single crease or crinkle, now available at staggeringly low prices. No matter what articles of clothing are on your summer shopping list, we've scoured the depths of Amazon to uncover the 15 best wrinkle-free pieces you'll want to add to your travel wardrobe this season. The goal? A closet full of items that aren't just stylish—they're functional too. Each pick is loved by travelers (and marked down significantly for Prime Day), so don't wait too long to add these thoroughly vetted finds to your cart. These flowy and breathable palazzo pants are not only a versatile addition to your travel wardrobe—they're also a wrinkle-free option that looks pristine from the moment you remove them from your suitcase. The wide-leg design will provide ample room for air flow without stifling your legs with too-tight fabric, and the high-rise cut is both flattering and comfortable. Nearly 2,800 shoppers have awarded these pants with a five-star rating at Amazon, and one customer noted that they 'don't wrinkle' and are so comfy that they're 'basically classy pajama pants.' A basic button-down top is one of the most versatile shirts you could include on your packing list for any season, and this blouse is especially well-suited for travel since it's made with a wrinkle-resistant cotton and polyester blend. You can size up and wear it as a breezy beach cover up or opt for your regular size and tuck it into a pair of trousers for a day of sightseeing. No matter how you style it, this shirt will always look put-together and classy. It comes in 32 striped shades in sizes XS through 3XL, and one shopper confirmed that it 'doesn't wrinkle' and 'packs well for travel.' Midi skirts are some of the easiest pieces to dress up or down based solely on the accessories you pair them with, so you'll want to snag this wrinkle-free option from Amazon Essentials while it's on sale for $13 for Prime Day in select prints. The ultra-comfy skirt is made with an elastic waistband and crafted from stretchy, breathable fabric that makes the summer heat far more bearable, and it's made with dual slits that won't restrict your range of motion while facilitating air flow with every step. The convenient pull-on design is excellent for hurrying out to seize the day in style, and one shopper raved that it's a 'great casual skirt' for travel since it's 'super comfortable, packs easily, and doesn't wrinkle.' Skorts were all the rage last summer, and the trend is guaranteed to carry into this year, as well. If you're looking for a wrinkle-free option to rock from the airport to the city streets, this simple black mini will be right up your alley—and right now it's on sale for only $19 during Prime Day. The polyester and spandex blend is stretchy and breathable while maintaining a flattering fit, and it's even made with UV protection for your time in the sun. We love the basic black option, but it's also available in countless other colors and patterns if you're in the market for more of a statement piece. Plus, travelers can't get enough of it, as one shared that it's 'perfect for packing as the material does not wrinkle.' The Columbia Freezer III Dress is one of the best investments you could make for your summer travel wardrobe—after all, it's wrinkle-free, cooling, and endlessly stylish. Currently on sale for 46 percent off, this versatile dress is designed to easily wick away moisture to keep you temperate throughout the warmer months, and it's made with UPF 30 protection to guard your skin against harsh sun rays. The timeless silhouette can be dressed up or down in accordance with what's on your travel agenda, and it's so comfy you may even choose to wear it during upcoming travel days. One reviewer shared that this is their 'absolute favorite' sweat-wicking dress for the summer, since they love the way it 'feels, fits, and looks.' A pair of lightweight pants can still be a staple in your travel wardrobe even well into the summer months, and this breathable option is your best bet since these bottoms are loose-fitting and stretchy. An elastic waistband won't compress your stomach or cause discomfort even if you bloat while traveling, but perhaps most important at all is that they're wrinkle-resistant. One shopper explained that they're 'perfect for travel as they can be both dressy or casual,' adding that they 'wash and dry beautifully, keep their shape, and don't wrinkle.' You can never go wrong with adding a simple white T-shirt to your suitcase, but if you're looking for an option that won't require the steamer before throwing it on, this oversized tee is the way to go. Its loose, generous shape is incredibly comfortable for travel without restricting your movement, while a stretchy fabric blend won't stifle you in the heat, either. One customer divulged that it's 'low maintenance' and 'does not easily wrinkle,' even adding that you can 'dress it up or own' with ease. A wrinkle-resistant jumpsuit is an unstoppable piece to have at the ready while traveling, so you'll want to take advantage of Prime Day to snag this olive green beauty while it's on sale for just $26. The cinched waist is flattering without sacrificing comfort, and the jogger-style bottoms will make this outfit wearable from the airport to a nice dinner—all depending on your footwear and accessories. It's made from a stretchy, forgiving fabric in sizes S to 2XL with 11 colors and prints to choose from, and one traveler confirmed that the one-piece outfit is 'wrinkle-free' and 'perfect for hot weather.' This casual, feminine T-shirt dress is one of the easiest one-and-done outfits you could have on hand for summer, and now that it's on sale for 27 percent off is the best time to shop. On top of the fact that it has pockets (an immediate win!), it's also made with a cinched waist and folded sleeves that add visual interest to the relatively basic piece. It's earned more than 3,300 five-star ratings at Amazon for its versatile, wearable nature, and one shopper shared that it was 'ideal for summer travel' during a recent trip to Italy since it's 'lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and easily packed.' Since they're made from a durable, water-resistant fabric that's designed for active wear, these top-rated Baleaf hiking pants are wrinkle-resistant, as well. Whether you're planning a strenuous hiking trip or are considering some leisurely trail activities, these pants are a great addition to your suitcase for anything on the docket, and they're made with UPF 50+ for essential sun protection (in combination with sunscreen, of course!). Out of the 3,000-plus five star ratings they've earned at Amazon, one shopper raved that they 'didn't wrinkle' and are especially 'great for traveling.' The ideal airport outfit is comfy, versatile, and wrinkle-free, and we've found all that and more in the Anrabess Women's 2-piece Matching Knit Set. It's nearly identical to another ultra-popular matching set that's a fan-favorite for travel, while both the top and bottoms are cute enough to be worn together or separately throughout your next trip. Now on sale for $35, you won't want to miss out on the matching set that shoppers have revealed shows 'no wrinkles' and earned them 'so many compliments.' Why relegate exercise dresses to just the tennis courts when you could leverage their wrinkle-free fabric to build the perfect sightseeing outfit? This feminine mini dress is made from a sweat-wicking, cooling fabric that you could wear on the hiking trails or the city streets, and it's even crafted with a built-in romper underneath for just the right amount of coverage (as well as a sneaky pocket for phone storage). One shopper shared that it 'doesn't wrinkle when [you're] sitting,' adding that the 'material is very soft.' These flattering and fitted mid-rise pants are currently on sale for 63 percent off during Prime Day—and they're just about the most versatile option you could add to your suitcase. They're made with an elastic waistband that's flexible and far more comfortable than other rigid trousers, plus the tailored silhouette can be dressed up or down with ease. One person said they 'traveled with them and they were wrinkle free,' even adding that the 'pants have held up well after being washed several times.' A comfy lounge set that you can style as an outfit during your travels will go a long way, and this two-piece pairing is an exceptionally great vacation pick with its stretchy, breathable, and wrinkle-free design. Since it comes in solid colors, both the top and bottom can be styled countless different ways with other items in your suitcase, and the pants are made with an adjustable waistband to ensure your long-lasting comfort. It's perfect for summer, as one shopper noted that it's 'very flattering, comfortable, [and] lightweight.' No summer packing list is complete without a high-quality pair of shorts, so you won't want to leave this simple khaki option unclaimed while it's on sale for under $20. The mid-rise shorts are cut with a five-inch inseam that shouldn't ride up or cause chafing, and they're also available in straight and curvy sizes to find your ideal fit. The cotton-blend shorts will be ready to wear straight from your luggage, as one customer confirmed that not only did they 'not wrinkle while wearing,' plus the lighter colors are also 'not see-through.'

The £1 hack that'll leave your clothes crease-free and smelling amazing – with no iron in sight
IT is a pretty simple task but ironing is detested by millions when it comes to household chores. In fact, a whopping 60% of Brits have confessed they will do anything to avoid it despite most of them owning an iron and board. 2 Luckily, if you're one of them there's an easy hack that will help get your clothes crease-free without doing the dreaded ironing. While there are plenty of crease releasers on the high-street, turns out, you can easily make your very own for a fraction of the price. What's more, not only will it save you heaps of cash in the long run but the £1 concoction will also leave your laundry smelling fabulous. The cash-savvy solution was recently shared on TikTok by one money-smart cleaning fan only known as @ dagger95. According to the thrifty TikToker, the answer to crease-free clothing is simple - and you can find it for just a quid. She told fellow social media users: ''I do this with just water or ever water and a little bit of fabric softener in a Febreze bottle or any bottle. ''You do not need a special solution. hope this helps all my broke besties, like me.'' If your favourite fabric softener is running low, you can find a mega 1l bottle for £1 at Savers - or £1.70 at Aldi, £2.50 at Sainsbury's and other supermarkets. Before using this spray, it's best to test it on a small, hidden part of your shirt or garment to make sure it won't cause any discolouration. To use this DIY wrinkle releaser, hang your garment on a clothes hanger or lay it out flat on your bed. Doctor shares why you must never wash clothes at 90 or 40 degrees & the right temperature for 'everything but gym gear' Pull the garment taught as you generously spray the DIY mix over it and run your hand over the wrinkles to help smooth them out. You want to make the fabric damp, but not soak it - as the more you spray, the longer your clothes will take to dry. If you choose to de-wrinkle your outfits before bed, you can be even more generous with the affordable spray. Laundry tips Catherine Green, sustainable cleaning expert at smol shared her laundry tips. How often should you be remaking your bed? When it comes to your bed, maintaining a hygienic sleep setup can actually improve your sleep quality, helping you start every day better. Most people shed 500 million skin cells per day and a lot of that ends up in bed for dust mites to feed on. And those with asthma or allergies might see symptoms worsen by sleeping on dirty sheets! You want to be washing your sheets once a week - or every 10 days if you don't suffer from allergies and wear nightclothes. Bedding builds up with sweat, skin cells and oils quickly, even if it doesn't look dirty. Using an effective detergent like smol's will still give you a great clean on a 20°C cycle - that's better for the planet and your energy bills! What temperature do smol recommend then? For your regular weekly washes I recommend washing most loads at 20°C for 30 minutes. It's gentler on fabrics, slashes energy use, and still delivers excellent stain removal with the right detergent. A colder wash can actually be more effective if you opt for a bio detergent as its enzymes need cooler water; too hot and they lose their ability to digest stains. A wash at 60°c (unless you have silk sheets) every now and again can help kill off dust mites and other nasties. What's the difference between bio and non-bio detergent? Bio detergents contain enzymes, which are especially good at breaking down tough stains like food, grass, or sweat. It's best used in mid to low temperature washes (ideally between 20-40°C) as anything hotter can cause them not to work effectively. Non-bio skips the enzymes, which in turn makes it more suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Although non-bio doesn't contain enzymes, it's still great at removing stains and keeping your clothes clean, you just may need to use a slightly higher temperature setting to aid with the cleaning process. More de-creasing hacks If you don't own an iron or simply can't be bothered, digital department store Freemans has partnered with domestic cleaner Mariya Gurkova at home services business Fantastic Services to provide some top alternative hacks. Mariya revealed that a damp towel and tumble dryer are all you need to mimic an iron. She said: 'Put the wrinkled item in the dryer with a damp towel or a few ice cubes and run it on medium heat for about 15 minutes. "Steam will be generated inside the dryer by the moisture from the towel or ice cubes, which will help loosen the wrinkles and smooth out the fabric. When dried, fold immediately to avoid ironing." She added: 'You can also use a hair dryer to remove last-minute wrinkles. "Simply dampen the wrinkled area of the garment with water or a wrinkle-removing spray. Use the lowest setting and pull the fabric taut when drying. "Hair flat irons can help remove creases from small sections of clothing." Mariya also suggested that a hot cooking pot can be used to give your clothes a quick iron. All you need to do is fill the pan with boiling water, let it heat up the pot and then pour it out. You can then use the base of the pot to smooth out your garments.

12 Wrinkle-free Fashion Finds That Are Fit for Any Summer Itinerary—All Under $50
I'm challenging myself to a carry-on only summer, which means there's no room for non-essentials in my suitcase. While I consider a portable steamer a travel must-have, given my limited space, I unfortunately have to place it in the non-essential column. That being said, wrinkle-free dresses, tops, and pants are at the top of my shopping list for my upcoming summer getaways. Lucky for me, Amazon is overflowing with comfortable travel clothes—no ironing or steaming necessary. From the yoga pants I already own and swear by to new, fashionable finds, including easy-to-wear two-piece sets and flowy maxi dresses, I've rounded up the best wrinkle-free clothing available at Amazon right now—all under $50. As a five-foot-tall traveler, I swear by these petite travel pants, also available in regular and tall sizes. The comfy, wide-leg pants are made with a buttery-soft, wrinkle-free material and have a flattering, tummy-control design. I have them in black, but with 28 colors to choose from, there's an option for every preference. I'm not the only fan of these travel pants, though. One Amazon shopper shared that they wore the bottoms on a nine-hour flight to Italy, raving that they were 'comfortable' the whole time and showed 'no wrinkles.'

Over two thousand people have purchased this wrinkle-free maxi dress in the past month alone. Not only is it a great in-flight outfit, but it would look just as stylish poolside or on the beach. It features a flattering side slit that's both breathable and allows you to move freely, too. It seems nearly impossible to find a wrinkle-free button-down shirt, but shoppers say this option from Cunlin does the trick. It comes in a preppy striped pattern that's classic and a touch nautical, perfect for an East Coast summer. One Amazon shopper confirmed its wrinkle-free capabilities, writing that 'the fabric is soft' and 'wrinkle-resistant' as advertised. A little black dress is a wardrobe staple, so if you're lacking one, consider picking up this summer's LBD from Bkrive, which requires no steaming. The V-neck mini dress looks effortlessly chic on its own, especially when paired with sandals and a woven bag. Or, throw it over your bathing suit for a stylish cover-up. Who doesn't love a multifunctional piece? You don't need to be hitting the courts to enjoy this wrinkle-free tennis dress. The stretchy nylon/spandex blend dress features built-in shorts with easy-access side pockets and a low, scooped back.

This maxi sundress from Merokeety is perfect for sipping on an Aperol Spritz on the Amalfi Coast, or simply enjoying an ice-cold lemonade at a backyard soiree. Essentially, you can't go wrong with this flowy, wrinkle-free dress, which features a flattering scoop neckline and functional side pockets. One Amazon shopper raved that they've experienced 'absolutely no wrinkles' after washing the maxi, adding that they 'absolutely love this dress.' Step out on the course or settle into a long-haul flight in these wrinkle-free, moisture-wicking pants. Made with a stretchy elastic waist and an ultra-soft, lightweight fabric, these pants certainly don't skimp on comfort. One five-star reviewer wrote: 'They are great for travel and they don't wrinkle. They also wash beautifully.' What more could you ask for? I've already added this travel-friendly two-piece set to my shopping cart, and you should, too. The throw-on-and-go look comes with a sleeveless top and a tennis skirt with built-in shorts and hidden pockets. Additionally, the flattering skort features an adjustable waistband for even more comfort. I can never resist a striped dress, especially in the summertime. And this wrinkle-free option from Zesica is just my style. The airy, lightweight sweatshirt dress features subtle puff sleeves and an elegant, V-neckline collar. Even better?

Amazon Is a Goldmine for Breezy, Wrinkle-free Summer Tops That Look Fresh All Day—Starting at Just $7
As a frequent flier, there's nothing I dislike more than having to iron my outfits on vacation. Wrinkle-free shirts have become my favorite go-to for looking fresh, put-together, and, most importantly, feeling comfy during flights and at my destination. Amazon's fashion store is currently filled with wrinkle-free summer tops that are lightweight and less than $30. That includes simple T-shirts you can dress up or down, as well as flowy tank tops to help keep you cool. Check out some of the most popular picks below for as little as $7, and say goodbye to packing a portable steamer this season. Versatility is key for a travel wardrobe, and this tank top checks off that box with how easy it is to dress up or down. One traveler loved it because of its ability to pack down without wrinkling, while another shopper said it was comfortable to wear in Southern Arizona when the temperature was 106 degrees Fahrenheit. You can give your classic T-shirt an upgrade with this cute summer top that has elegant ruched-textured sleeves. You won't have to reach for the hotel iron either, one reviewer said the fabric is wrinkle-resistant, making it 'perfect for travel.' Wear with maxi skirts, shorts, linen pants, and more. More than 10,000 shoppers have given this blouse a five-star rating—and not just for its 'wrinkle-resistant' material. The sleeves have a flowy, ruffled design that creates a graceful look you can wear to cruise dinners, wine vineyard tours, and other formal vacation activities. It's especially helpful if you want to get dressed up, but you're not a dress person. You can't go wrong with a floral top, and this T-shirt is proof. The sleeves have a romantic ruffle detail that, paired with the subtle V-neck, will instantly dress up even a pair of denim shorts. One traveler took it on three summer trips and said it 'resisted wrinkles when packed.' Not only does this top 'look amazing on,' as per one shopper, but it has a simple design that makes it easy to style with a flowy skirt or layered under a denim jacket (so you can wear it in the fall too). Another shopper loved how 'super soft and breathable' the material was, so they ordered two more. You'll want to pack this on every trip for its 'very wrinkle-resistant' fabric that has 'good bounce and stretch to it,' according to one reviewer who wore it on a beach vacation. The top has adjustable straps that'll deepen the V-neckline, and comes in 17 colors, including an eye-catching hot pink. Whether you're lounging by the resort pool or sitting in a plane for hours, you can count on this T-shirt for comfort. It has a lightweight, breathable fabric and an oversized V-neckline that can be worn off the shoulder. One traveler loved the top so much they got it in six colors for a tropical island vacation. If you want something that will require minimal styling to dress up your outfits, this T-shirt should always be in your suitcase. Made with a double-tiered ruffle sleeve, this summer top has a relaxed fit and can be worn tucked into your shorts or loose for a more casual vibe. One shopper said it comes out of the dryer wrinkle-free, so you can wear it all day without worrying about acquiring creases. This summer shirt gives you an off the shoulder look and features 'sharp' colors that look exactly like the picture, according to one Amazon reviewer. Another shopper said it goes with shorts or pants so you can wear it multiple times on vacation. They also added it's easy to wash and dries wrinkle-free. This summer top offers a more elevated look than basic tank tops because of its elegant pleated design. It's also 'buttery smooth,' according to one shopper who said they were able to wear it right out of the zippered delivery bag without ironing. Another reviewer, who bought the shirt in several colors, called it perfect for travel since it doesn't wrinkle and it washes well. Love a great deal?
