The Best Clothes Steamers (for Looking Fresh and Rich)

There’s a lot more to being an adult than buying your own food and not sleeping in your parent’s basement. You need to look the part—and we mean that literally.  Every piece in your closet should have absolutely no pit stains, holes, and—drum-roll please—wrinkly shirts. It’s bad enough that the first signs of aging (aka: wrinkles, obviously) show up on our precious skin, so why not prevent the creases we can control? Unfortunately, the dry cleaners charge an arm and a leg per shirt, and we’d be lying if we said we owned a proper ironing board, so what’s the best way to de-wrinkle a wardrobe? Your very own clothes steamer. 

Whether you’re making sure your wedding guest attire is in tip-top shape, or just want to make sure you look presentable for that, third Tinder date, a clothes steamer is a perfect alternative to pricey trips to the cleaners or time-consuming tussles with an ironing board. To make things a little bit easier, we found the best clothing steamers that will take your threads from drab to fab in a matter of minutes. We love innovation that makes us look good! 

This steamer by Beautural is safe enough to use on curtains, furniture, and even toys.

Perfect for quick steaming sessions with its 15-minute continuous run time, it’s clearly a crowd-pleasing, simple steaming solution; it currently has a 4.4-star average and over 56,000 reviews on Amazon. “I hate to iron!
