Tips to make your styles last longer

Everyone has their own tricks when it comes to taking care of clothes. We put the word out to our Facebook friends and Twitter followers to send us theirs AND we took our cameras to the streets of Manhattan to get the word from fashionable New Yorkers. Check what we learned!

Even if you think you know the best way to do something, it's always a good idea to ask other people for their method. There are pieces of advice I picked up from our viewers and from the ladies we met with our cameras that sound completely obvious, yet never occurred to me. Perfect example: always zip up zippers up before you throw them in the wash so they won't snag other items. Why I never did this before, I can't tell you. But I will now.

Here are some more words of wisdom:

•Always wash pieces inside-out to preserve color.

•Put undergarments in a mesh bag so straps and elastics don't
stretch out

•Stash a mini lint roller in your purse at all times, along with Swash smooth it out.

•Pay attention to which detergent you use. Tide Total Care keeps colors vibrant and garments protected.

•Keep flats in your car so the pedals don't scuff the bottom of your good heels
