You’re Making Your Outfits Look Cheap If You’re Not Doing Any Of These Things

You already have all of the elevated basics, trendy pieces, and some serious style. But the small fixes on this list will amp up your chicness that much more, and they’ll solve a few clothing and undergarment problems we all face on the daily (even stylish influencers, I’m sure of it). If you’re not doing the things on this list, your outfits are about to look that much more put together.

This list has little fixes like gently removing tags from the new sheer top you bought. Why do they even sew a tag into a mesh top? I’ll never know. For whatever reason they do it, there’s a seam ripper on this list to fix it. This steel tool with a fabric-protecting tip makes for a clean removal process. It’s way better than chopping off the tag with your desk scissors and leaving that jagged bit of paper and seam behind.

There are styling solutions, like an elastic belt with a low-profile clasp. It’s the perfect one for belting a trendy oversized button-up without figuring out how to tie or tuck a classic belt. But you have to grab the two little pink sponges on this list. They gently scrub off those deodorant streaks that always seem to happen when you’re pulling on clothes in a rush.

You have all of the best pieces in your closet, and you’ve already hand-selected your style. Now, it’s time to elevate the styling details and use a few hacks.
