How to Clean Your Clothes Correctly.
| By Meredith Bryan [August 2009 edition of GQ Magazine]
Caring for that wool suit or cashmere V-neck can be maddeningly confusing—and expensive. Learn the right way:
1. Dry-clean sparingly. Not only is it pricey ($15 to $40 per suit), but the chemicals required for the process can also break down the fibers in your clothes, leaving that $800 suit looking, well, saggy. Try to have your suits dry-cleaned no more than once a year; wool sweaters, twice a year.
2. To revive a wrinkled suit, get it steam-pressed instead of dry-cleaned.
3. One item of clothing that definitely needs to be dry-cleaned is a dark-color dress shirt. If laundered, it will fade.
4. All other cotton dress shirts should be laundered. For best results, ask to have them hand-pressed with no starch. Starch shortens a shirt's lifespan, while machine-pressing can (at the worst) crack buttons or (at best) leave you with a flattened collar.
5. You don't have to take your cashmere sweater to the cleaners. "The fibers in cashmere respond better to traditional washing," says GQ's creative director, Jim Moore. Machine-wash your sweater on the delicate cycle with cold water. And it might be a good idea to put it in one of those mesh bags your girlfriend uses for her underthings. To dry it, simply lay it flat on a bath towel.
6. Ward off critters. "Moths—that's what you should be writing about!" says Charles R. Lops, general manager of famed dry cleaner Jeeves of Belgravia in New York City. "They're a huge problem these days. We recommend cleaning your clothes at the end of the season and keeping them in plastic. If there's any trace of food on your clothes, they'll attack them."
7. Consider "greening" your cleaning. Today most dry cleaners use perchloroethylene (perc), which has been accused of being carcinogenic and bad for the environment. A new crop of "green" dry cleaners use silicon-based solvents instead, which traditional dry cleaners may tell you aren't as effective. But if you're concerned about the environment, search out one of the increasing number of green dry cleaners. As far as we've been able to tell, they're just as effective.

How to Buy (and Apply) a Fragrance.
| By JP Mangalindan [April 2008 edition of GQ Magazine]
Think small.
• The life span of a bottle of cologne is one year. Even if you haven't gone through the whole thing, after twelve months buy a fresh one; you don't want to wear a stale fragrance.
Test in increments.
• When shopping for a fragrance, try two at a time at the most, one on each arm. Sniff your shirtsleeve between tests to clear your palate.
Keep it simple.
• Leave spraying wrists and other pulse points to the ladies. One hit on each side of your neck will do.
Rotate scents.
• Like your wardrobe, your scent should change with the seasons. In the warmer months, wear a small amount of a lighter, fresher scent; in winter, heavier scents like musks in slightly larger doses are appropriate.

How to Groom for Cold Weather.
| By Meredith Bryan [January 2006 edition of GQ Magazine]
In the bone-dry, frigid days of winter, your skin takes a beating. Here's how to care for it:
1. Take shorter showers.
Overcome the urge to soak for twenty minutes in scalding hot water every morning. "Hot water strips off more of your skin's natural oils," explains Jeffrey Roth, M.D., of Park Avenue Dermatology Associates in New York. "Keep showers to under ten minutes."
2. Moisturize—a lot.
Apply a thick lotion like MD Skincare's Intense Body Moisture as soon as you get out of the shower, to seal in moisture. For the really rough spots (think hands, knees, and elbows), opt for something even more heavy-duty, such as Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve.
3. Save face.
First, rethink your shaving routine. "Shaving cream is soap in a can," Roth says, meaning that it can dry out your skin the way cheap bar soap tends to do. Try Clinique Cream Shave, which basically has Vaseline in it. One thing that shouldn't change is the SPF in your facial moisturizer. UV rays don't disappear just because it's gray outside.
4. Stop flaking out.
Rinse your hair with cool water right before getting out of the shower. It keeps more natural oils in your hair. Also, use a shampoo that can help stave off dandruff, such as Bumble and bumble's Scalp Rebalancing Therapy.
