Back to the fashion hacks, here are 10 priceless fashion hacks that you can try out.

 

Remove makeup on your clothes with a wet wipe

Remember those days when you do your makeup and accidentally get makeup on your clothes? It can be a drag to change your clothes especially when it took ages to put the cute outfit together.

A simple way to remove the makeup stain is to use makeup remover wipes to gently wipe away the makeup from your outfit. It takes the makeup right off.

 

Get rid of the smell on vintage clothing

It’s surprising how many cute pieces you’ll find in a thrift store. But together with those clothes comes a peculiar odour that is customary with every vintage outfit from the thrift store. To get rid of the smell, spray some distilled vinegar on the clothes. For tough musty smells, let it stay in a bag of baking soda for a day or two.

Stop zippers from slipping

This is a common occurrence with jeans. Sometimes after zipping the jeans, the zipper could slide back down. A cool hack is to take a key-ring the size of a penny. Hook it to the end of the zipper and loop the key-ring on the button of your jeans. That will stop the zipper from slipping down.

 

Take the sweat stains off your white shirt

Of all the things that could ruin a white shirt, yellow sweat stains are among the worst. Even after putting your white shirt through several rounds of washing with a good detergent, the yellow stains hardly leave. All you need to do is apply some lemon juice and throw it in the washing machine. The stains will vanish.

 

Make your shoes spotless

Who wouldn’t want to look flawless from head to toe? But shoes are the worst hit in this situation. To get stains off your shoes, keep some baking soda handy. Mix baking soda with water and use a toothbrush to get all the stains, marks and dirt out.

 

Jacket without wrinkles

Ever wondered how some people managed to have jackets with no wrinkles? Well I came across this hack that keeps jackets wrinkle-free. It lies in how you keep them. What you need to do is turn your jackets inside out and fold them. That helps to keep the wrinkles and creases at bay.

Deal with stinky sneakers

We’re all too familiar with the funky smell that comes from our shoes and sneakers and on to the feet. Here’s a simple hack to get rid of the smell: add some baking soda in your shoes and the odour goes away.

 

Find jeans that fit

Here’s a cool trick to find out if a pair of jeans fit without trying them on. Hold the pair of jeans and wrap the waist around your neck. If the two ends touch each other behind your neck, then they’re most likely a perfect fit.

 

Keep the stubborn collars from curling

Crisp collared shirts, especially on work days, make you look formal and chic. But not when the collars start curling on their own. To stop those stubborn collars from curling on their own, use a flat iron to press the collars flat and keep them tamed throughout the day.

 

Give your jewellery some shine

Even the simplest of jewellery adds a lot of charm to your outfits. However, the shinier your jewels the more alluring it is on you. To add some shine to your jewelry, use ketchup to clean your silver jewellery and beer to clean your gold jewellery.

Spring Jackets for the Man in your Life

It is starting to feel like spring. The sun is out today and it feels a bit warmer. But I hear we are going to have a white Easter in England. Can you imagine that? I hope a miracle happens and the snow never appears. The snow is so exhausting now. I just want some normal spring weather. Is that too much to ask?

When spring finally appears for real, I will be confident enough to keep all our winter gear back into storage. I heard some proactive people bundled their winter gear into storage only to dig them out again when the Beast from the East appeared. I am happy I didn’t have to do that.

A new weather means a different type of clothing. Spring fashion is all about lighter and brighter pieces. So I am looking forward to the prints and florals hitting the stores soon. With that in mind, I have been doing some online window shopping and popping items into various wish lists. I have my eye on a few pieces for the myself, the kids and the hubby. And I am hoping to get them soon.

Spring jackets is high on the list for us all, especially the hubby. He has not shopped for spring items in ages, so there are loads of gaps in his wardrobe to fill.

Here are a few Ellesse spring jackets I have been eyeing lately.

 

Ellesse Berto 1/2 Zip Jacket Charcoal £55.00

I really like this Ellesse Berto 1/2 Zip Jacket Charcoal jacket. It is a beautiful light jacket with hand pockets and a cool branding on the chest. The elasticated trims to cuffs and hem are amazing features.

I hope to grab this piece for him really soon. The design is so amazing. Do you agree?

 

Ellesse Berto 1/2 Zip Jacket Yellow £50.00

The colour of this Ellesse Berto 1/2 Zip Jacket Yellow was the first thing that got my attention. I think it is a great spring jacket to have in the wardrobe this season. It features a half zip fastening with front zip pockets, with further detailing to arms and chest.

Many may shy away from this piece because of how bright it looks, but I think it is a beauty. Would your man like this?

 

Ellesse Mont 2 Cagoule Camo £70.00

This stylish Ellesse Mont 2 Cagoule Camospring jacket is my current favourite spring jacket for men. I love Camo pieces. The designs are always so beautiful and this jacket right here is no exception. The jacket features an underarm zip pull, a large kangaroo style pouch, a drawstring hood and an elasticated hem.

Are you a fan of Camo designs like me? Do you find them stylish?

 

 

Ellesse Sortoni Jacket Anthracite £50

This Ellesse Sortoni Jacket Anthracite jacket would be popular this spring because of the simplicity of it. It looks good and does the work beautifully, which is what most men who cannot be bothered with fashion need. I like the fact that it has a full zip front with fastened hand pockets.

I can see the hubby loving this particular spring jacket a lot.

 

Ellesse Caserta Hoodie True Red/White £55.00

This Ellesse Caserta Hoodie True Red/White spring jacket is another favourite mine. I love the colours – red, white and navy blue. The mixture of colours is such a beautiful design. It looks super sporty and casual which works for dressing down days.
