Styling Guide · Fabric Care
Every ruined garment dies in one of three places: hot water, hot air or a wire hanger. Avoid those and fabric care is mostly patience.
Rayon and viscose are plant-based fibers spun to drape like silk — that drape is why a YESNO maxi moves the way it does, and it is also why the fiber is fragile when wet and allergic to heat. Cotton is the sturdy one; denim and corduroy are cotton with attitude; sweater knits are a construction problem more than a fiber problem. One washing machine, four rulebooks.
| Fabric | Wash | Dry | Never |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rayon / viscose | Cold, gentle, inside out, mesh bag | Hang, away from sun | Hot tumble — permanent shrink |
| Cotton poplin | Cold or warm, normal | Low tumble or line | Hot dry if you like the current length |
| Denim / corduroy | Cold, inside out, with its own kind | Line dry; corduroy shaken out first | Bleach; ironing pile face-down |
| Sweater knits | Cold hand-cycle in a bag, or actual hand wash | Flat on a towel, reshaped | Hangers and dryers, both |
Print fade is friction plus heat plus chlorine. Inside out kills most of the friction; cold water and shade drying remove the heat; skipping bleach — even “color-safe” on dark florals — handles the rest. Wash prints with soft things: a load of floral rayon and one pair of zippered jeans is how petals get sanded gray.
Flowy fabrics wrinkle honestly and forgive quickly. Hang a rayon dress in a steamy bathroom for ten minutes and most creases walk out; a warm iron on the reverse handles the stubborn ones. Corduroy wants steam from the back only — pressing the front flattens the ribs that make it corduroy. The genuinely wrinkle-proof trick is the one this catalog is built on: busy prints simply do not show creases at conversational distance.
Woven dresses and pants live on hangers — wide-bar for anything heavy. Knits live folded, full stop; a hung sweater grows shoulder points by the weekend, which the knitwear guide laments at length. Big pockets get emptied before anything is put away, overalls hang by the bib not the straps, and everything gets one honest day of air before rejoining the rotation.
