We talk about clothes all the time on Her World Plus…we talk about them a lot. But sometimes, encouraging you to purchase a work friendly blouse or the perfect brunch dress doesn’t cut it if well, you wear it out straight out of the washing machine.

Look past the somewhat goofy name of Tefal’s latest steamer, the Tweeny 2-in-1, and you’ll fall in love with its features — it’s twice as light as a standard iron, doesn’t threaten to burn a hole in your delicates (thanks to its precise steam and heat output) and best of all? It heats up in just 40 seconds. That’s about the amount of time you spend every morning waiting for all of your lotions to sink into your skin.

That’s not all. The Tweeny 2-in-1 also boasts an angular tip that makes ironing out the creases on the hard-to-iron areas (think shirt collars) an incredibly easy process.

For those who already have an ironing board at home, the Tweeny 2-in-1 can also be used as a classic steam iron. And since it’s made to be travel-friendly, you can even pack this in your suitcase the next time you’re flying out of country for business trips or vacations.

You’ve got the clothes, you’ve purchased the Tefal Tweeny and now, it’s time to get these essentials to keep all your clothings in the best condition ever.

Your OCD friend probably owns one and your colleague who has a pet might have four at home. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have one; you never know when you’ll have to face a case of the odd speck of lint on your clothes.

You’ve purchased the most beautiful luggage that money can buy but that doesn’t mean you simply chuck your clothes into it. Keep your garments wrinkle free with a garment bag that’s equally pleasing to the eyes.

Fun fact – these hangers make any wardrobe look more coordinated and covetable. Not so fun fact? Hanging your sweaters on an ordinary one stretches them out and causes bumps so use these hangers to clip them; they’ll keep your clothes in shape.
