Usually, we wear boots with skinny jeans because they are easy to tuck into the boot. What if your only clean pair of jeans is the bell-bottomed type and you have to wear them with boots? The secret is to carefully fold the wider part of your jeans vertically, then wear socks that are long enough to cover the folded part before wearing your boots.

2. Unsticking a zipper

New shoes can hurt when first worn and might need to be worn severally before they stop causing blisters. But you can also prevent all that by stretching them a little bit so that they fit you. To make this happen, you will need to fill freezer bags with water and put them in your shoes. Then put your shoes in a clean bag and leave them in the freezer overnight.

6. Remove odour from your jeans

Jeans do not need to be washed after every wear. If your jeans happen to have some odour and you have no time to clean them, just put them in a plastic bag and leave in the freezer overnight. By morning, all the odour will be gone.
