Picture this: You've got your killer outfit sorted, every accessory adding that perfect touch. Life's good until you realise your outfit is sticking to you like a needy friend. So, you're left awkwardly trying to untangle yourself, totally ruining the laid-back vibe you were going for.

Let's be real... nothing kills the vibe of rocking your crepe outfit like dealing with clingy static. But hey, here's some good news for those ready to ditch "the cling"!

FIRST, A QUICK SCIENCE LESSON:

Pesky static cling, born from fabric friction in dry conditions, favors wool, silk, polyester, and rayon, particularly in arid locales or dry winters. Even your favorite crepe G-suit isn't spared, whether nestled among other clothes or freshly unpacked. But fear not! With simple, natural remedies, you can bid farewell to clingy encounters in no time.

1.) APPLY MOISTURISER TO YOUR WHOLE BODY

Before slipping into your outfit, give your legs (or any clingy spots) a good moisturising session. Just make sure the lotion sinks in completely to dodge any oily mishaps – nobody wants unexpected stains! Keep a little tube of hand cream in your bag for quick fixes on the go.

2.) HANG SOLO TO DRY

This might sound too simple, but trust us, it works wonders: To keep static cling at bay, hang your outfit up to dry in a spot where it's not touching anything else. I mean, let's be real, you're not tossing your G-suit in the dryer after washing (please and thank you!), so this step's a total no-brainer. By giving it some space to air-dry, there's no chance for it to rub against anything and cause that pesky static. Our favourite hack? Slipping it onto a wooden hanger with those handy strap notches (seriously, a game-changer!) and perching it on a door frame at home. Voila!

3.) MIST IT WITH H20

Give your G-suit a light mist with water. Seriously, it's like magic. If you're in a dry spot, grab a spray bottle with a fine mist setting and spritz away before heading out. No spray bottle? No problem. Dampen your hands a bit and give your legs and the inside of your outfit a quick wipe. Easy, right? But don't overdo it – a little goes a long way, and any spots will dry in a jiffy.

Oh, and here's a pro tip: Steam works wonders too. Hang your outfit in the bathroom while you shower or give it a once-over with a clothing steamer to keep the cling at bay.

4.) USE THE WIRE HANGER TRICK

Here's a classic move – the wire hanger trick. It's like a magic spell for banishing static cling. Just grab a regular wire hanger (you know, the kind from the dry cleaner), hold your outfit up and gently glide the hanger over the fabric. You might hear a little crackling – that's just science doing its thing.

Let's recap with the Do's & Dont's of static cling

DO:

• Use a metal hanger (some say that a safety pin or metal thimble work, too)
• Moisturise your skin with a non-greasy or water based oil well before you get dressed
• Use a steamer to add moisture that neutralises the static charge

DON'T:

• Use hairspray or other liquid static cling fighter
• Put your dress in the dryer
• Use a ball of tinfoil in the washing machine
• Wear tights or leggings unless you have slathered lotion on your legs underneath
