wash-and-wear
wash-and-wear
(clothing) Of or made from cloth that is resistant to forming wrinkles after washing, and therefore requires little or no ironing after being dried. I'm so happy I invested in these wash-and-wear shirts for work. Now I get all sorts of things done in the time that I would have been ironing all of them.
