So how do you keep them fresh?
I have a steam dryer, that works well. You can also get a nice steamer with a hanger for like $50. Another option is those Dryell things, it's a bag with a little cloth you put the clothes and cloth in the bag and run it through the dryer. I've used them before and they do a decent job of extending the time between cleanings.

Only if I spill something on them. It's not like I have been to the gym in them.

Nah, like every 5-10 uses probably unless it gets dirty. If you hang it up right after wearing, it's fine.

Those stand up steamers are very useful for suits

Anybody know if steaming a suit and pressing a suit are the same thing?

How does someone not get a dress shirt cleaned after each use--especially working in the South during summer?
Pretty easy actually.
Undershirt + dry Dallas climate. At most I'm walking a few blocks downtown between air conditioned buildings or using air conditioned tunnels.

Both use steam, however steaming a suit doesn't use pressure to remove wrinkles, etc. Pressing a suit involves a mechanism to apply pressure while steaming, thus achieving a hem or flatness to the garment.
A good hand steamer is a nice item to keep on hand. We use the crap out of ours.

Newbie, each time you take a suit to the dry cleaner, it slowly destroys the fabric.
Buy suit wipes and only take your suits in WHEN NECESSARY
Listen to this guy.
Dry clean when truly dirty, or before storage.

I also own a steamer, but it doesn't work like everyone else says it should. It takes the wrinkles out of shirts but then they come right back after drying. I don't think I'm doing it wrong? Any advice? I know it isn't that difficult.

You really want to avoid doing this. More often than not, you just need to have your suit pressed rather than dry cleaned. You will increase the life of your suits by a good bit by doing this.

That's crazy. I work in a business professional setting. Dress pants get worn for a full week and dress shirts two to three times before heading to the cleaners. Jackets once a year.
Same. My "work suits" are decent, but they are work clothes. I don’t wear any of my 3 higher end suits to work unless I’m interviewing or presenting to executives or something.
Pants get like 5-6 wears if no extra sweating happens or noticeable stains. Shirts get 3-4 with same rules. I just hang everything up very neatly right after work.
Jackets get washed every solar eclipse.
Obviously everything gets the smell test in the morning when I put them on.

Nah hell no. I wear a suit to work everyday and can get a couple of wears out of my suits before sending to the cleaners. The only real reason I send a suit to the cleaners is to get the wrinkles out and get a crease back. As soon as I get home from work I hang my suit up and make sure the pants creases are folded on the crease to keep the crease there.

Pant crease is crucial

Now I don't re-wear dress shirts multiple times

I wear suits at least 4-5 times before dry cleaning them.

Well those absolutely do need cleaning after each use, or at least you do.... guess that's on them if they do or not.

Invest in a steamer. I wear a suit pretty much everyday and they are great for getting those little wrinkles out. Only dry clean maybe twice a year
