“I have one white shirt that I reserve for a particular ensemble, which I may or may not iron depending on my mood,” she adds. “My favourites are pre-loved cashmere, velvet and leather, all of which can be worn well without ironing. As a parent of two teen daughters it’s always been a consideration. I bought their clothing at car boot fairs and garage sales when they were little, but never anything that needed a press. Now, if they choose anything that needs ironing these days, they have to do it themselves.”

I spotted ironing-free looks during the recent run of fashion weeks too. Model Karen Elson wore a brown knitted mini dress with a camel coat in New York, while Laura Bailey wore a Fair Isle cardigan with a cherry red cheesecloth dress in London. Adding a knitwear staple is one of the easiest ways to minimise time spent ironing. Rixo has some lovely knitted tops like the Lula sweater (£225, rixo.co.uk), in a similar style to Bailey’s.

It’s not just daywear that’s iron-free: high street giant Next does some beautifully crafted eveningwear that doesn’t need an iron, such as its dreamy, classic black plisse jumpsuit (£38, next.co.uk) or this emerald green satin tie-neck midi dress (£48, next.co.uk).
