Shoe Trees

Anyone who’s seen a pair of wooden shoe trees in all their Instagram-baiting glory should need little convincing of their worth. Not only are these handsome pieces of craftsmanship, but they’ll also add years to your footwear.

Shoe trees, particularly those made from moisture-absorbing cedar, will help retain the shape of your best Oxfords and Derbies, as a result, stop creases in their tracks. Who said you can’t have beauty and brains?

Fabric Protector

It doesn’t take a degree in medicine to know that when it comes to crisis management, prevention is invariably better than cure. So take a leaf out of your doctor’s book to keep your clothing stain-free.

Vaccinate your best pieces against weather damage and other issues by applying a light layer of fabric protector before your first wear (making sure to do a patch-test first) then give it a top up every four to six weeks.

Steamer

Despite its prowess in ridding your clothes of creases, ironing isn’t all good news for your gear. After all, a scorching hot slab of metal making its way across your most delicate clothing doesn’t sound all that healthy, does it?

Be kinder to your clothes, and keep them wrinkle-free, by investing in a steamer. It’s like leaving your clothes hanging on the back of the bathroom door while taking a hot shower, only far more effective.

Shoe Care

As a natural material, leather benefits from regular TLC in the same way that your skin does. Consider polish and other shoe care your footwear’s equivalent to a good moisturiser. It’ll keep them wrinkle-free for longer, safeguard them against the elements and give a glow that makes you look money.

It’s also worth adding a couple of good shoe brushes to your arsenal to remove any debris, and a few handy quick wipes to keep your kicks fresh on the go.

Jewellery Cleaner

You don’t need P Diddy’s diamond collection to start taking jewellery care seriously. Neglect your metallic accessories for too long and they’ll need more than a quick once-over to bring them back to bling.
