How to fold a men's long-sleeve polo? Practical guide
Keeping the wardrobe organized helps preserve the quality of garments and optimize space. Men's long-sleeve polos, in particular, require a folding method that avoids unwanted creases and maintains their 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
Lay the polo on a table or another smooth surface with the front side facing down. Make sure the fabric is well smoothed out 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 vertically in half
Take the bottom edge of the polo and bring it towards the collar, aligning the edges well to achieve an even fold.
4. Fold again to fit the available space
If necessary, you can fold the polo once more to reduce its bulk, depending on the space in the drawer or suitcase.
Useful tips
-
If you store 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 polos well folded and tidy.
By following these simple steps, your long-sleeve polo will always be perfectly neat, ready to wear without annoying wrinkles.
How to best store the folded polo?
After folding the polo correctly, it is important to store it properly to avoid unwanted creases. If possible, place it in an organized drawer or on a wardrobe shelf, avoiding stacking it with too many other garments 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 especially useful for travelers, as it reduces space and minimizes crease formation,
