101 Fashion Tips 53-56

56. To determine if pearls are real, lightly rub them over your
teeth. Fake pearls will be perfectly smooth, and real ones will
feel slightly gritty or textured.
55. When you’re shopping for a jacket, coat, or blazer, pay
attention to the fit around the shoulders. While a tailor can
tweak pretty much everything about the fit of a jacket—from
tapering the waist to shortening it—they can’t change the
shoulders. Make sure the seams sit perfectly at the bony tops
of your shoulders.
54. Chic up a sporty puffer vest by cinching the waist with a
skinny belt.
53. Unless they’re cropped or tapered, pant hems should just
graze the tops of your shoes and be from 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch
off the floor.
