Take Care (of Your Clothing)

* * *

HOW TO MAKE WHAT’S IN YOUR CLOSET LAST

1. Don’t over-dry-clean things. I wear my suits a few times before I send them to the dry cleaners. Instead of protecting your clothes, the chemicals in dry cleaning can actually start wearing the fabric down. Unless you have a stain or unwanted scent, I suggest wearing it a few times.

2. Moths: Invest in cedar disks for the tops of your hangers to keep the moths away.

3. If you’re going to spend $600 on a pair of shoes—and I have a weakness for expensive shoes—invest in shoe trees to preserve them. I love patent leather, which can tend to get wrinkly, but a shoe tree will help the shoe keep its shape and prevent creases in the leather.

4. Use a furniture spray like Endust to shine your patent leather.

5. Give your clothes room to breathe. Do not keep them all jammed together. It’s hard to find things and not good for the longevity of your clothes. If this is happening, it’s time to consider editing your closet.

6. Keep very fragile or expensive items of clothing in garment bags and/or plastic. This is a no-brainer.
