Top tips for Women to ensure your outfit creates an impact
1. Check you have suitable underwear for your chosen outfit as visible bra straps or panty line can easily ruin your look.
2. If wearing a full length evening gown, ensure it is the correct length by trying it on with the heels you will be wearing. It is also a good idea to make sure your heels do not have elaborate embellishment on the front that may snag delicate fabrics.
3. Always make sure your straps fit correctly to avoid them slipping down.
4. If possible, try not spray perfume directly onto delicate, lightly coloured or natural fabrics such silk as it may stain.
5. If you are nervous about tripping when wearing a gown with full length and body, kick the hem of the dress slightly as you walk, and try not to take any steps backwards.
Top tips for Men
1. For a classic yet modern look, you can never go wrong with a two button, slim labelled suit.
2. The length of a trouser hem is an under-utilised way of personalising your suit. Shorter, tapered hems without a notable break are more stylish alternative to the classic “one break” rule.
3. A new pocket square and tie can liven up an old suit without spending a fortune.
4. Avoid long suit jackets as these actually make your legs look shorter. The hem of your jacket should not extend further than your knuckles with your arms extended straight down by your sides.
5. Only dry clean a suit when it is strictly necessary. Steam pressing refreshes fabrics and remove creases without the high heat and chemicals used in dry cleaning process than can actually do more harm than good.
When it comes to general housekeeping, it seems that everyone has tried some tips and tricks. Some are useful, while others … well, not so much. With that in mind, we’ve created 101 tips on how to effectively care for every item in your closet, from silk to denim.
SILK
101. While dry-cleaning is fine for basic silk pieces, it’s even better to hand wash them in order to keep them in good shape.
100. Handwash silk in cool or lukewarm water using a tiny bit of mild detergent such as Woolite, Ivory soap, or shampoo dissolved in water.
99. Like most natural fibres, silk doesn’t tolerate changes in temperature, so stick with either cool or warm water the whole way through.
98. Never wringe out silk to dry! Instead roll the item up in a towel and gently press the water out.
97. Wash items labeled “washable silk” (underwear, tank tops, etc) in the washing machine on the gentle cycle in a mesh bag. Hang dry on a padded hanger.
96. To prevent colour loss and to keep silk in good condition, add up to three tablespoons of white vinegar for every two quarts of water.
95. Silk should be pressed while it’s still damp. Iron on a low setting and don’t use steam, which can leave watermarks.
94. Always store silk in a dry dark place, and never keep in it in plastic since the fabric needs to breathe.
JEANS
93. Serious denim aficionados know that raw denim (super-stiff jeans with no washes, fading, etc) can take up to six months to break in and thus, shouldn’t be washed until then. Why? Jeans really do conform to our bodies, and when you wash them, most of the shape is lost.
92. Most jeans today, however, are treated (pre-washed to achieve a faded look) and don’t need to be broken in. These you can wash more often, but only when they’re stained or when they start to sag.
91. To remove odours: hang jeans in the bathroom before a shower (the damp steam will keep them fresh between washes), or freeze them in a plastic bag for two days.
90. Always wash jeans inside out in cold water on the delicate cycle, or by hand with any clothing detergent. (If you actually want denim to fade quickly, wash once in hot water.
89. Add a 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to the final rinse cycle while doing laundry to maintain the wash of your favourite pair of dark jeans.
88. Try not to machine dry denim pieces. If you have to, turn down the temperature to the lowest possible heat setting, and remove before they’re completely dry. Lay flat or hang upside down to dry.
87. Fold jeans like a pro: Lay jeans on a flat surface, fold in half from left to right. Grab the stacked jean legs and fold them in half so the hem of the jeans lines up with the waistband. Fold the jeans in half one more time.
86. Denim needs to breathe, so be sure to not pack folded pairs too tightly together on a shelf, or hang denim jackets or vests in a crowded closet

CASHMERE
85. Despite what it says on the tag, cashmere is best washed by hand in cold water with baby shampoo or any clothing detergent for optimal softness and protection from chemicals (and only about two times a season).
84. Never hold up a wet cashmere sweater by the shoulders, it’ll stretch it out. In fact, keep your cashmere in a lump when you go to pick it up when wet.
83. To dry it quickly, use a salad spinner, which releases excess water in seconds. Don’t have one? Lay it flat to dry, pressing it gently with a towel.
82. Always fold cashmere sweaters in thirds so you don’t get a fold line running down the front of the sweater.
81. Always clean cashmere before storing it for the winter, as moths are attracted to our everyday scents, such as perfume, food, deodorant, and smoke.
80. If you do dry-clean your cashmere, be sure to remove all garments from the protective plastic immediately. Wrap them in tissue paper and place in cedar-scented bags instead.

COTTON
79. Cotton is super-durable, so garments can be washed in the machine with any detergent, and bleach can be used as needed.
78. For best results, machine wash cotton items in warm water on a normal wash cycle.
77. Tumble dry on low setting.
76. If your cotton is white, you can wash it with bleach on a hot water setting.
75. To keep cotton towels, robes, and washcloths fluffy, use half the amount of detergent and run them through an extra rinse cycle (detergent residue can diminish softness).
74. Cotton wrinkles easily but can be ironed on the highest heat level.
VISCOSE/RAYON
73. Viscose has a silky appearance and feel, it breathes like cotton, can be easily draped, and it’s lightweight. However, it wrinkles very easily, so it’s advised to use an iron’s medium setting with steam.
72. If the garment is particularly special or has intricate draping, hand-washing is suggested in cool to lukewarm water.
71. Hang wet items totally flat (no wringing or twisting) as this will help remove creasing and ensure the garment doesn’t lose its shape

LEATHER JACKET
69. Before wearing a leather jacket, treat it first with scotch guard or a similar spray to help prevent the ingress of water, stains or grime.
68. The best way to keep leather clean is to simply use a damp cloth
67. When you take your jacket off, hang it on a well shaped hanger as often as possible. Like leather shoes, the material stretches out easily.
66. Leather jackets are more prone to water stains when they’re not properly treated, and while you should avoid taking them out in rainy weather, it’s also important to hang your jacket in a dry, well-ventilated closet.
65. Put a leather conditioner on areas that get overly dry. Also, salt can stain leather, so wipe away salt stains immediately. You should also have your leather jacket cleaned by a professional leather cleaner once a year.
64. Never use a hair dryer to dry wet leather.
POLYESTER
63. Most polyester can be easily machine washed and dried with added fabric softener because polyester is prone to static cling. Certain poly-blends need to be dry cleaned, so always check the tag.
62. Dry the garment on a low temperature and use a moderately warm iron if needed.
61. Polyester is easy to care for, but locks stains. To lift a stain, rub stain remover on the area and allow it to sit for 10 to 20 minutes before laundering.
60. If the stained garment is white, consider soaking the fabric for 24 hours in water and washing powder before throwing it in the machine.

SWIMWEAR
59. While your swimsuit doesn’t need to be washed with detergent every time you wear it, it should be rinsed in cool tap water every time you take it off after swimming or sunbathing to remove most of the sunscreen, dirt, sweat, and chlorine.
58. To wash it after a few wears, turn the swimsuit inside out and add a tablespoon of liquid detergent to a filled sink. Swish for a few minutes and then rinse well.
57. Gently squeeze—don’t wringe or twist—the water from the suit, and lay it flat to dry.
56. Contrary to popular belief, laying swimwear in the sun to dry can actually fade and break down the fibers in your suit, so dry it indoors or in the shade.
55. You should never use a washing machine for bathing suits, but there is one exception: At the end of the summer or your vacation, you can wash swimwear in lingerie bags on the machine’s gentle cycle with a bit of clothing softener, but only after many wears.

DOWN COATS, VESTS, AND BLANKETS
54. It’s key to use a front-loading washing machine, as a top-loading machine can damage the down item.
53. Use the permanent press cycle on the washing machine and add the amount of soap as directed on the bottle.
52. Don’t add more detergent than necessary— residual soap prevents down items from getting fluffy.
51. If your garment is really dirty, stop the machine mid-wash for a hour or so and simply let it soak.
50. To ensure all residual detergent is rinsed out, run the item through an additional wash cycle with no soap at all.
49. Drying is a slow process because high temperature can cause unnecessary damage to down-filled items .
48. However, you need some heat because otherwise, drying will take forever.
47. On a standard dryer, low heat works best for down items.
46. Don’t get frustrated if, after a standard drying cycle, your items are still damp: Just start the dryer again on low-heat.
45. Always toss in a few tennis balls to break up clumps.
44. Pull the jacket out of the dryer and manually pull apart the clumps.

DELICATE LINGERIE
43. Silk, satin, and lace lingerie should always be hand-washed and left out to dry, as machines can damage small bits of sensitive fabric.
42. Fill the sink with cold water and add one to two capfuls of mild detergent.
41. Swirl your pieces around in the water for a few minutes, before rinsing each piece individually.
40. Be sure to rinse the detergent thoroughly, as it can weaken the material’s delicate fibers.
39. Lightly wringe out each item and lay it flat on a towel to dry.
38. Hand-wash light and dark lingerie in two separate batches (especially if your dark pieces’ tags say hand-dyed), as bleeding typically occurs. If it’s the first time you’re washing an item, you might want to wash it by itself.
37. Don’t throw bras in a messy drawer—keep them organised and folded properly to maintain the cups.
36. For padded or underwire bras, fold them in half with the straps tucked under the cups.
35. Everyday bras should be replaced every three to six months, as that’s when they start to lose elasticity and support.
34. Try not to wear the same bra two days in a row, as it needs time to regain its shape after wear.
WORKOUT CLOTHES/SHOES
33. After working out, always shake two or three tablespoons of baking soda into each trainer, as this eats up excess moisture and odour.
32. Vigorous exercisers should replace workout trainers every three to six months.
31. If your gear is super sweaty, wash them immediately after wearing. If you don’t have a machine nearby, hand wash them to stop stains and smells from setting.
30. Always hang sweaty workout clothes up if you can’t wash them straight away, as opposed to bunching them up and tossing them in your bag.
29. For sports ras and clothes that still retain the scent of perspiration, soak them in the sink with either one part vinegar to four parts water. Let them sit for an hour before running them through the wash.
28. It’s fine to machine-wash workout clothes, but do it in cold water with a little extra detergent.
27. Air-drying spandex and lycra workout clothes maintains the elasticity, but if you decide to use a dryer, make sure it’s on the lowest setting.

WOOL COATS, SWEATERS, AND PANTS
26. During the winter, treat wool coats with a lint or suede brush after wearing, to remove surface soil and lint.
25. Hang wool overcoats on sturdy wood hangers so the weight of the coat doesn’t stretch the shoulder area.
24. Wool coats shouldn’t be hung in a packed closet, as breathing helps the material stay crisp.
23. Remove light stains on wool by blotting (not rubbing!) with cold water using absorbent cloths or paper towels.
22. Wool coats should be dry cleaned at the beginning and at the end of the season.
21. Empty coat and pants pockets after every wearing to keep them from sagging or losing shape.
20. If light wool sweaters say hand wash, you can use the machine’s hand-wash or wool cycle with cool water.
19. To actually hand wash, use a mild detergent and lukewarm water and let the item soak for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing in cool water. To dry, gently squeeze the garment and lay it flat.
18. Never use scalding hot water or bleach on wool items.
17. To dry, gently squeeze the garment and lay it flat. Hanging can ruin the clothing’s shape.
16. Allow 24 hours between wearing your wool sweaters or pants, as this allows wrinkles to dissipate and the elasticity of the fabric to bounce back.

DRESS SHOES
15. Always make sure your shoes have a space in the closet, whether lined up on the floor or on shelves. Never throw nice shoes into a big bin, as this can scuff the material and cause them to get totally misshapen.
14. Maintain the shape of soft leather or suede shoes by loosely packing them with clean tissues.
13. Don’t wear dress shoes when you don’t have to. Meaning, take them off as soon as you get home to prolong their shape, heel, and lifespan.
12. Keep leather and suede shoes away from direct heat to prevent the leather from drying out, and always let them dry naturally.
11. Leather shoes should have a full day to dry out from natural foot perspiration between wearings.
10. If your leather shoes are particularly filthy, wipe them down with a bit of Ivory soap on a damp cloth.
9. It pays to condition expensive leather boots and shoes before wearing (and every few months) to avoid drying, cracking, and water damage. Remember, leather is skin.
8. Most store-bought shoe polish formulas are fine for keeping everyday leather shoes in a good condition.
7. Suede’s arch-enemy is water, so always treat suede shoes before wearing with silicon-based protecting sprays.
VELVET
6. Always read labels, as some velvet fabrics must be dry cleaned, but others—such as crushed velvet—can be machine washed.
5. Never iron velvet, as the fibres will get crushed and the iron will leave an imprint.
4. You can use a steamer to remove mild wrinkles from velvet if you turn the garment inside out.
3. You can also hang wrinkled velvet in a steamy bathroom to remove creases
2. Never fold velvet when storing. Instead, gently stuff items with tissue paper and lay flat inside garment boxes.
1. Velvet gets flattened easily, so never press or blot. If you spill something, shake out moisture and, if it leaves a stain, follow cleaning instructions.
