How to fold a men's long sleeve polo? Practical guide
Keeping the wardrobe organized helps preserve the quality of the garments and optimize space. The long sleeve men's polo, in particular, requires a folding method that avoids unwanted creases and maintains its original shape. Here is a simple and practical guide to properly fold a long sleeve polo.
How to fold a polo:
1. Lay the polo on a flat surface
Place the polo on a table or another smooth surface with the front side facing down. Make sure the fabric is well stretched to avoid wrinkles.
2. Fold the sleeves towards the center
Fold one side of the polo towards the center, bringing the sleeve over the body of the garment. Do the same with the other side, slightly overlapping the sleeves if necessary.
3. Fold the polo in half vertically
Take the bottom edge of the polo and bring it up towards the collar, aligning the edges well to achieve an even fold.
4. Fold it again to fit the available space.
If necessary, you can fold the polo again to reduce its bulk, depending on the space in the drawer or suitcase.
Helpful Tips
-
If you put the polo in a drawer, make sure not to overload it to avoid unwanted creases.
-
To keep the collar in good condition, you can place a thin sheet of paper between the collar and the body of the polo.
-
If you travel often, consider using suitcase organizers to keep your polos neatly folded and organized.
By following these simple steps, your long-sleeve polo will always be in perfect order, ready to be worn without annoying wrinkles.
How to best store a folded polo?
After folding the polo correctly, it is important to store it the right way to avoid unwanted creases. If possible, place it in a neat drawer or on a shelf in the closet, avoiding stacking it with too many other items to prevent excessive compression. As a practical alternative, you can also roll the polo instead of folding it: this method, also known as the KonMari method as well explained by "Autoproduciamo.it", is particularly useful for those who travel, as it reduces the space occupied and minimizes the formation of creases.
