Style Hacks that Earn You the Most Mileage

Your wardrobe is one of the larger investments you’ll make in your lifetime, particularly if you’re a working professional with a guided dress code. It is for that reason that it’s important to properly care for your pieces to ensure longevity and quality retention, since the last thing you want is to keep replacing your essentials! Below are some tricks that’ll help you enjoy your pieces all year round along with some complementary fashion hacks!

Camel-Toe Solution

After what seemed like centuries, you find a pair of flattering and great-fitting pants, but something is just not right. You inch closer as you stare in the mirror and it clicks, the dreaded camel-toe. Thankfully, advancements in fashion have allowed for what is known as a camel toe cup pad, which is a foam insert that’ll remove that awful uncomfortable outline. A quick fix is to line that area of your underwear with a few squares of tissue paper to smooth out the contours.

Squat Proof Leggings

As for working out, a better alternative is to purchase leggings that are designed in a way to avoid the camel toe effect, and are also squat proof. At Day MyLane, our athleisure pieces offer a smooth and flattering look to give you peace of mind while you break a sweat. Our leggings are made from an opaque fabric so that you don’t need to comprise fit or quality.

Panty lines

You’re just about to step up the house, after spending hours making sure your baby hairs are in place, your false eyelashes are properly aligned, and then you take one good look at the floor length mirror when you realize….ohhh my! Ohhh no…the dreaded outline of your underwear is glaring right back out you. Thankfully, there are solutions!

Let’s be honest….no one needs to see your undergarments! A trick to create a clean smooth and flattering finish by going for thong underwear with a structured waistband. Seamless underwear is an alternative to a thong. Darker colors and bottoms made from heavier fabric may help in minimizing the visibility of the line.

Pilling

Nothing ruins a gorgeous wool sweater more than pilling. Although it’s a natural part of the wear and tear process, when those pesky little broken clothing fibers end up becoming tangled together, they create the appearance of little balls stuck to your clothing. Thankfully, with a simple clothing shaver, you can easily trim the excess fabric and keep your sweaters and coats smooth and soft year-round! Another hack is to try to avoid wearing wool in the rain, as it tends to increase pilling. If you’d prefer not to be weighed down by the shaving process, purchase sweatshirts that are made of non-pill fabric!

Follow the Care Instructions

Most apparel items will have a tag on the inside with wash instructions. To stay safe, make sure you follow the label guidelines. Regardless of the temperature or setting you choose to follow, washing your pieces inside out and letting them air dry will do wonders in the long term!

Portable Steamer

Having your blouses and dresses crisp and wrinkle-free instantly elevates your appearance. Although we all know that life sometimes gets in the way and some fabrics tend to wrinkle faster. It is for this reason that purchasing a mini portable steamer and leaving it in your car is an easy hack that’ll allow you to make sure your garments are always presentable.

Texture or Patterns

Let’s face it, most of us have cellulite, which is not a good or bad thing, but also not the most flattering appearance when it comes to light-colored trousers. If you’d like to reduce or even camouflage your cellulite, stick to thicker textures like ribbed pants, and darker colors that won’t draw any unnecessary attention to the cellulite.

Shapewear

A fitted dress or trousers looks even better with the right shapewear. Shapewear can enhance your figure and smooth out any areas you may want to divert attention away from.

With the above tips and tricks, you can ensure that your wardrobe pieces look crisp year-rounds while also minimizing the need to be constantly replacing your pieces, since you’ll be taking proper care of what you already have!
