Life’s hard. In between getting along with your boss, having a social life, paying rent on time and generally just being a grown-ass adult, it’s a wonder we have any time to sleep or the brain capacity to remember our underwear.

Even looking your best costs time and money. So to save you a bit of both, we’ve compiled a list of ways you can cut corners without sacrificing so much as an ounce of style.

These are the style hacks every man should know. Step one: put on some underwear.

Roll Your Shirt Sleeves Like A Marine

Though you might labor over deciding how to nail a dress code to the letter, it’s worth remembering that often it’s the little things that let an outfit down.

Messily rolled shirt sleeves are a prime culprit. Not only do they make it look like you’re about to do battle with a blocked toilet, but they’ll also fail to hold their shape and repeatedly fall back down your forearms. For a neat roll, deploy the marine’s approach.

1. Start with your sleeves fully extended and cuffs unbuttoned
2. Bend the sleeve at the cuff, curl it upward and over itself until it’s inside out
3. Straighten both the bottom and top of the rolled cuff, ensuring there are no creases
4. Repeat the process as necessary, gradually folding up to the desired height on your arm

Keep Your Knits Neat

We’re pretty sure knitwear bobbles are a punishment sent down from the style gods for one fashion crime or another (we’re looking at you, bootcut jeans).

The result of fibers on the surface of the fabric becoming tangled together, they’re a surefire way to make a jumper look like it’s ready for the bin.

To restore your garment’s true nap (the raised fuzzy surface on your knit), you could use a Sweater Stone, a pumice-like lifesaver that lifts away from the offending clumps, or an electric debobbler. But in a pinch, raid the bathroom cabinet instead. A disposable razor will do a similar job as both, but use this trick sparingly as the blades can damage sensitive fibers.
