Fall Closet Rescue: Things That Make Your Clothes Look New Again

Purple Star emoji 15 items
Before buying an entirely new fall wardrobe, these are the little things I’d use to make the clothes and shoes I already own look SO much better. Think pilled sweaters, wrinkled tops, sad suede boots, linty coats, musty closets, and shoes that are cu...

If your favorite sweaters start looking old after approximately three wears, you need one of these. It takes off all that little pilling and fuzz that makes knitwear look worn out, and the difference is honestly kind of ridiculous. One of my favorite...
Conair Fabric Shaver - White: Portable Lint & Sweater Shaver, Battery Operated

For the mornings when getting out an iron is simply not happening. I love this for clothes that aren’t dirty but came out of the closet looking a little sad and wrinkled. Spray, smooth everything out, let it hang while you finish getting ready, and y...

If you’re going to own one clothing-care appliance, I’d pick a steamer over an iron every time. This one folds down so it doesn’t take over your entire closet, and it’s perfect for dresses, trousers, button-downs, or anything that somehow develops se...

Especially relevant after I just convinced everyone to buy brown suede shoes lol. Suede is gorgeous until one random mark makes the whole shoe look old, so I really think a proper cleaning kit is worth having. If you’re spending money on nice fall sh...

Please protect the cute fall shoes BEFORE you get caught in the first random rainstorm of September. This is one of those boring little purchases that can save you from ruining something way more expensive. Just make sure it’s compatible with your sh...

For the loafers and ballet flats that are adorable in theory and actively trying to remove the skin from the back of your heels in practice. These add cushioning exactly where shoes tend to rub and can also help with a little heel slipping. Sometimes...
Dr. Scholl's Heel Liners Variety Pack (3 Pair) to Help Prevent Shoe Rubbing and Shoe Slipping

If you wear black, wool coats, or fuzzy sweaters, you already understand why this is here. I like that it’s reusable and actually meant to tackle both lint and hair, so I’d keep this right by the door for a final outfit check. Nothing ruins an otherw...
Evercare DUO Pet Hair & Lint Remover

I know I already love a Tide pen, but these deserve their own spot because they’re individually wrapped. Put one in your tote, work bag, makeup bag, suitcase, basically anywhere you’re likely to be when you inevitably spill coffee on yourself. For a ...
Shout Wipe & Go Travel Stain Remover Wipes for Instant Fabric Stain Removal - 4ct

Possibly the least glamorous recommendation on this entire list, but hear me out. If you have a tiny closet that gets humid or your clothes develop that weird musty smell after sitting for months, hang one of these inside. It absorbs excess moisture ...
DampRid Fragrance Free Hanging Moisture Absorber - Pack of 3

If your leather boots or bag are starting to look a little tired, giving them some actual care can make SUCH a difference. I like wipes because they’re way less intimidating than buying an entire leather-care setup and easy for quick touch-ups. Defin...
Weiman 3-In-1 Leather Cleaner, Conditioner & Protection Wipes, 30 Count

A very boring purchase that I promise your cute clothes will appreciate. I use mesh bags for bras, delicate tops, tights, and anything I don’t want getting tangled or stretched in the wash. If you’re spending money on clothes you love, we also have t...

We’re all friends here, so I’m just going to say it: sometimes the shoes smell. These tiny deodorizers go inside sneakers, boots, gym bags, or basically anywhere you would prefer not to open something and immediately regret it. Random? Yes. Surprisin...
Sneaker Balls Shoe deodorizer 2 Pack Matrix

This is my slightly grown-up recommendation for anyone investing in nice leather loafers or shoes. Cedar shoe trees help absorb moisture while keeping the shoe’s shape instead of letting it slowly crease and collapse in your closet. I wouldn’t bother...
Cedar Shoe Tree (Nordstrom Exclusive)

My travel pick. Somehow everything I carefully fold looks like it spent three weeks crumpled at the bottom of my suitcase the second I unpack it. A little portable steamer is SO worth having for trips, weddings, recruiting, or anywhere you need to lo...

For coats and heavier fabrics, I actually prefer a proper reusable lint brush over going through sheet after sheet of a sticky roller. It picks up lint, dust, and hair, and then you just keep using it. Very much a buy-it-once, leave-it-in-your-closet...
