Look Your Best and Feel Confident With These Style and Fit Tips and Tricks
To save time and money, knowing some smart style hacks can significantly help. Think of it like being a stylish MacGyver.
These tips can be as important as a last-minute play in a close game. Study up on this batch of our favorites; you never know when they’ll come in handy.
The Suede Savior
Picked up a nasty scuff on that sweet new pair of blue suede loafers or oxfords? A bummer for sure, but fixing it doesn’t have to involve buying any fancy gear.
Simply take the other shoe and gently buff the scuff or scratch, and you will make the scratch disappear before you know it.
The Anywhere, Anytime Lint Roller
Headed to a job interview or wedding, and your lint roller has gone missing? No sweat, all you need is a roll of tape.
Packing tape is ideal, but any larger roll of tape is going to work in a pinch. Simply wrap a few layers around your open hand (sticky side out, obviously) and give yourself a quick pat down.
Avoid The Suitcase Stink
For all the travelers out there, you know that packing a few days' worth of clothes into a small bag can lead to some unpleasant smells.
To keep things smelling fresh, just tuck a dryer sheet into the bottom of your bag before you pack. This will help chase away any travel funk easily.
Say Goodbye to Wrinkles
Is your shirt wrinkled or a bit worn? If you're short on time, the dryer can quickly freshen your clothes and remove wrinkles.
Simply, toss it in the dryer for a few minutes with a few ice cubes to create steam and release the wrinkles. If your sweater or hoodie needs a refresh, just dampen a dryer sheet. Then, toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to freshen it up.
Just make sure you use higher heat for wrinkled shirts and the low/cool setting for sweaters. Note: Before using the dryer, always check the cleaning and drying instructions on your clothes. This helps prevent shrinking or damage.
Neck Size = Waist Size = Arm Size
This tip may sound weird, but it works! If you don't have a tape measure and need to check if pants will fit, try this trick: Wrap the buttoned waistband around your neck.
You can use your fist and forearm to measure. These tips will help you get a rough idea of your waist size. This way, you can quickly decide if it will fit.
