Just like a well-polished pair of shoes or a crisply starched shirt, a sharp crease in a pair of pants shows you're dressed to impress.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A pair of pants in need of ironing
An ironing board
And an iron
A clean, damp cloth (optional)

Step 1: Check label

Check the label on the pants for proper care instructions, then heat the iron on the appropriate setting.

Tip: For wool pants, put a clean, damp cloth—called a "pressing cloth"—between the iron and the fabric so the iron doesn't cause a permanent shine, and press the iron against the pants repeatedly instead of sliding it back and forth.

Step 2: Iron inside waistband

Iron the inside of the waistband first—if the iron is too hot, turn it to a lower setting and wait for it to cool before proceeding.

Step 3: Iron back pockets

Turn the back pockets inside out and iron them.

Step 4: Iron back

Iron the outside of the back of the pants, then tuck the pockets back inside and iron the seat of the pants.

Step 5: Iron front pockets

Flip the pants over, turn the front pockets inside out, and iron them.

Step 6: Iron front

Iron the outside of the front of the pants, then tuck the pockets back inside and iron the front of the pants, including any pleats.


Tip: Pull the waistband up over the narrow end of the ironing board, as if you're pulling the pants onto the board, to create a flat front area to iron.

Step 7: Line up seams

Line up the four seams on the pant legs so they're neatly stacked and lay the pants down along the length of the ironing board.

Step 8: Iron inner leg

Fold back the top leg to expose the inner leg below. Iron this from the cuff up to the seam of the crotch.

Tip: On flat-front pants, the front crease should begin between the middle of the zipper and the crotch; on pleated pants, it should continue from a pleat down.

Step 9: Flip pants over

Fold the top leg back down and flip the pants over.

Step 10: Iron other inner leg

Fold back the top leg again, and iron the other inner leg from the cuff up to the seam of the crotch.

Step 11: Iron outside leg

Fold that top leg back down again and iron the outside of this leg.

Step 12: Iron outside other leg

Flip the pants over and iron the outside of that leg.

Step 13: Hang pants

Immediately after ironing, hang the pants from the waistband or cuff, keeping the four seams lined up as you ironed them to keep your creases crisp.

Step 14: Unplug iron

Turn off and unplug the iron, and step out in style.
