1. If It Doesn't Fit, Don't Try to Make It Work

2. Don't Wear Anything With Stains or Missing Buttons

If you're completely obsessed with something that's stained or wrecked in another way, don't wear it. Even if the stain is barely noticeable, trust us… someone will notice it. It'll throw off the whole vibe of your outfit and essentially make you look like a slob. Take it to the tailor or dry cleaner to get it handled.

3. Change Your Outfit If There's a Risk of Wardrobe Malfunctions

The same can be said for tops that ride up, or buttons that keep magically undoing themselves. Unplanned exposure is a big no-no, so make sure there aren't any opportunities for it to happen.

5. Avoid Cheap Quality Clothes
