Real ideas

Gentlemen, we know what you want.
You want to buy an item of clothing and have to never buy it
again. You want to buy something timeless.
In that spirit, we're going to start teaching you how to identify
the classics.
We'll start with a piece of clothing every man needs to have in
his closet — a blazer.
A few things before we go point by point.

60. Hang a shoe bag on the back of your bathroom door and
use it to hold makeup, toiletries, brushes, hair ties, etc.
59. A vintage trunk not only makes a stylish coffee table, but
it can also house shoes and clothing you rarely

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.

52. Always dry-clean coats before storing them, and place on
cedar hangers inside cloth garment bags. This preserves the
fabric and keeps moths away.
51. If you have a small closet, never keep your shoes in
clunky shoeboxes. Instead, always line up them on the floor.
50. Going to a winter wedding or formal event? Try wearing a
sleeveless fur vest as a top, cinching it with a skinny belt or
piece of ribbon and pairing it with a floor-length skirt.

49. How to care for fur at home: “Pass the fur with a hairbrush
and steam it for added bounce, volume and shine.” —Eran

48. “Marquise ring shapes help to create the illusion of
longer, more slender fingers, even on small wide hands. Pear
or oval stones are also flattering.” — Carol Brodie, Fine
Jewelry Designer, HSN’s Rarities: Fine Jewelry with Carol
Brodie
47. Everyday bras should be replaced every three to six
months, as that’s when they start to lose elasticity and
support.
46. Ideally, a pencil skirt should hit just at the top of your
knee. Any lower and it will start to shorten your leg.
45. Pants a bit too tight? Let them air dry and stretch the
waistband by hand (or with a hairdryer) while they’re still
damp.

44. Windex restores the glossy sheen on patent leather
without doing any damage.
43. 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.

42. The power of a silk pillowcase isn’t a myth: Not only do
they prevent “sleep crease,” they’re much, much gentler on
your skin and hair.
41. “The best way to store fashion jewelry, including Sterling
Silver, is in Ziploc bags. This helps pieces retain luster and
reduces tarnishing and scratches.”

36. V-neck sweaters and tees give the illusion of a longer
torso.
35. Spritzed a bit too much perfume on yourself this morning?
Use unscented, oil-based makeup remover to remove excess
perfume.
34. Tend to wear certain leather shoes without socks? Always
stuff them with a soft cloth when you’re done wearing them.
This absorbs moisture and help the shoes keep their shape.
33. “Hoop earrings are a classic style that every woman—
regardless of age—should have, but the type depends on your
face. If you have a thin face, go for larger round or
embellished hoops. If you have a round face an elongated
hoop or drop style is best.” —Elena Kiam, Creative Director,
Lia Sophia
