Fall is a time of uncertain weather and therefore uncertain clothing needs. Conquering the season in style means knowing what to wear, how to wear it, and, of course, how to keep those much worn sweaters clean and pill-free.
Instead of rolling your cuff over on itself and up your arm, flip the cuff back and pull it just below your elbow. Then take the bottom (inside-out portion) and fold it up so it traps and covers the bottom cuff. Your shirtsleeves won’t unroll again, and it will hit the perfect place on your elbow.
The top button should sometimes be buttoned (stylistic decision). The middle button should always be buttoned (it pulls the jacket together and is flattering), and the last button should never be buttoned. (It messes up the tailoring and flare of the jacket on the bottom.)
If the jacket is only a modern two-button, the rule changes to "always, never." Also remember to unbutton your jacket whenever you sit down.
Layering is one of the most important ways to conquer fall and maintain an equitable body temperature. Learn how to do it properly. The most important rule is to layer from chunkiest to thinnest fabric, keeping the lighter items closest to your skin. Get four more layering tips here.
No matter the weight, weave, or material, hanging sweaters stretches them out. It's much better to fold sweaters and store them in your dresser or wardrobe.
Sweater stones are made of a porous volcanic rock that is especially effective at getting rid of those furry little balls (aka "pills") that gather under the arms and along the seams of your sweaters. Order one from Amazon.
Whatever you do, don't take a shaving razor to your nice sweater — it will destroy the fibers and possibly cause holes.
Even if you put them away clean, sweaters can get musty while sitting in storage during summer. A short, gentle, low-heat cycle and a dryer sheet will fix this. But be warned: Sweaters do not like to be dried. Dry them for too long or on too high heat and you run the risk of shrinkage and pillage.
Don't just slip on the same pair of dress shoes day after day. Let your shoes rest in between wears so that any perspiration has time to dry. Even slight internal or external dampness can cause shoes to lose their shape.
If you sit down and your shirt buttons pull, the shirt does not fit you. Time to get a size up. If your shirt does not fit square on your shoulders, it also does not fit you. Time to get a size down.
Though lingerie bags are designed for women's underwear, they're great to wash loafer socks, watch straps, and other small items in.
For most articles of clothing, dryers do nothing but destroy. Your clothes will last longer, look nicer, and keep their size if you hang dry them instead.
Just because you're washing your jeans less doesn't mean you can ignore the stink. If your jeans start to smell a bit rank, throw them in the freezer. However, you should still wash your denim every six to 12 months.

Most workers are all too familiar with how a seemingly trivial annoyance — the air conditioner blowing directly on your face, a neighboring coworker who cackles like a hyena — can make it impossible to be productive.
And while most of us are accustomed to sucking it up by donning a sweater or a pair of headphones, there's an office building in Amsterdam designed to be so comfortable that employees no longer face any of these obstacles to getting work done.
It's called "The Edge," and its main tenant is consulting firm Deloitte. Bloomberg recently published a feature on The Edge and explored the technology that makes it the greenest office building in the world — and potentially one of the smartest.
Here are some of the building's coolest features, highlighted by Bloomberg:

It's all thanks to an old German Brauordnung (beer regulation) that we can enjoy a nice cold beer in a shady beer garden today.
According to the Atlantic, a regulation dating back to the 16th century allowed Germans to only brew beer between the months of September and April, partly because beer brewed at colder temperatures was more pure.
As a result, breweries in Germany built cellars to store beer for the off months, and to keep the cellars cool, they planted trees. Soon, tables and gravel were placed under the trees and the Biergarten (beer garden) was born.
We've rounded up some of the best places to enjoy a beer outdoors around the world.

These people might look like underwear models, but they're not. And 30 days before this photo was taken, they didn't look like this.
In fact, they were just regular people who worked for an advertising agency and, while they worked out a fair amount, they ate pretty much what they pleased.
But in just a few weeks, the women slimmed down to have as little as 12% to 14% body fat and the man had just 5% to 6% body fat.
And that woman on the left? She was pregnant just five months before the photo was taken.
The key to their success: A low-fat, high-protein diet and intense, professionally guided exercise. They also had some good motivation from their employer: They were asked to be models in an upcoming photo shoot for their agency's rebranding, posing buck naked.
The three extreme dieters work for Viceroy Creative, an advertising agency that wanted to rebrand itself in a powerful way last March. As part of the rebranding, they asked some of their key executives to be part of a buzzy photo shoot that would present them totally nude.
The participants were the firm's creative director Gabrielle Rein, account manager Raegan Gillette, and president David Moritz — the naked man in the photos. Mortiz tells AdWeek they agreed to the shoot for the good of the company and their clients.
Getting model-thin in a hurry took a great deal of mental and physical endurance, and it's that kind of diligent dedication that Viceroy wanted to communicate in their new campaign, Moritz tells Business Insider.
Before they started preparing for the shoot, Viceroy's executives were in decent shape. Still, each worked hard those final weeks to get ready for the big nude day. Here's a picture of a topless Moritz two years before the training began:
Gabrielle Rein, Viceroy's creative director, had a baby just a few months earlier, so the preparation was especially challenging and rewarding.
When they agreed to the nude photo shoot last year, they gave themselves five months to get fit.
For the first four months, they completed a series of trainings designed to strengthen their muscles, bolster their cardiovascular strength, and increase their metabolism. Here's the company's account manager, Raegan Gillette, doing one of the exercises:
But those four months of exercises weren't what ultimately got them the sculpted bodies in the photos.
"No matter how much exercise you do, that will only get you part of the way. In terms of seeing abs and muscle definition, it's all about diet and reducing your body fat percentage. That's essential," Moritz says.
For the last four weeks, the Viceroy executives committed to a grueling diet. The goal, said Moritz, was to cut body fat so that the muscles they'd been toning for the previous four months would shine through.
Each executive ate six meals a day, catered specifically to their needs by a nutritionist. Although each diet was unique, the meals mostly consisted of the same types of food, Moritz says, and included a lot of protein.
"You need [protein] to continue to build muscle," Moritz explains. "Which is a little bit more than one gram of protein per every pound that you weigh."
For Moritz — who was still able to recite the diet by heart months after the shoot — the meals consisted of:
That's it, each and every day, for an entire month! At first they had the meals prepared for them by a chef but that quickly became too expensive to maintain. They began preparing the meals themselves, which required a scale and measuring cups to make sure they consumed exactly what the nutritionist ordered.
Despite consuming significantly fewer calories than he was used to, Moritz said he didn't feel too many negative effects from the strict plan, aside from boredom from the food.
"You don't feel tired because your body is getting what it needs," said Moritz.
Moritz pointed out that he was at about 5% body fat on the day of the photo shoot, which is close to the lowest a man his age and height should be. Body builders have between 3.5% and 5% body fat on competition day.
If you add it up, Moritz consumed roughly 1,700 calories per day, far fewer than the 2,400 to 2,500 calories he was burning throughout the day, he tells Business Insider.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a man his age and height should be consuming at least 1,600 calories a day even if they're trying to lose weight. So he was pushing the bare minimum.
The women were eating about 1,300 calories and burning 2,000 calories each day. For them, the Mayo Clinic estimates that women in their age and height ranges should eat at least 1,200 calories a day even if they're trying to lose weight.
"The plan puts you in a relatively significant caloric deficit every day," Moritz says. "And it forces your body to burn stored fat."
In addition to the diet, the executives stuck to a grueling fitness routine. All of them worked out every day for an hour and a half, seven days a week with the help of professional trainers at their local Equinox gym.
The exercises included intense weight lifting and low-impact cardiovascular activities — like walking on a treadmill set with the highest incline — that burned most of the large amount calories they were losing each day. The rest were lost through regular daily activities like walking.
Here's Gillette doing one of the weight-lifting exercises:
The regimen wasn't cheap. The nutritionist Viceroy used charges $700 a person for a month-long program. And an average Equinox Tier 3+ trainer — the most intense trainer you can get at Equinox — costs $135 per session, and each exec was completing a few sessions a week during the entire training process.
Moritz says anyone can get into this kind of shape given the time and motivation, however.
"While we did it with a lot of extensive help, a person can do this on their own given just a little more time," Moritz says. "Follow the same basic principles and find a way to get really motivated. It's just all mental."
For Moritz and the rest of the team, the motivator that kept them dedicated was a pretty strong one:
"Knowing that you're going to send naked pictures of yourself to as many people as you can makes you stay with it," he says.
After the shoot, Moritz, Rein, and Bearce slowly regained some of their body fat to a more reasonable amount, but they continued to stick with a modified version of the diet.
For Moritz, the five-month regimen was only a beginning. Since the photo shoot, he's stuck with it. (He now uses a food-delivery service to stick with his diet.) By the end of the summer, he says, that he suspects he'll even be in better shape than he was in March. Rein also kept her beautiful post-baby physique, getting into increasingly better shape even after the training was over, Moritz said.
Here's what she looks like months later and after feasting on ribs, BBQ, and hamburgers over Memorial Day weekend of this year. She's 31 years old.

NOW WATCH: Scientists Discovered What Makes Men Attractive
Hundreds of thousands of college students set off on journeys around the world every semester to study, research, intern, and explore. Many return home with a new perspective, or even a yearning to go back.
The Princeton Review recently released its 2016 college rankings, which included a ranking of the 20 most popular study abroad programsin the country.
To compile this list, The Princeton Review asked 136,000 students at 380 colleges "How much do you agree/disagree with the statement 'Studying abroad is popular at my college'?" Students responded on a five-header scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
Scroll through to find out why these colleges are the most popular for studying abroad.

Where should you go if you want to be among the smartest college students in the nation?
Exclusively for Business Insider, Jonathan Wai, a Duke University Talent Identification Program research scientist, calculated a ranking of America's colleges and universities based on brainpower, as reflected by the school's average standardized test scores.
These tests are often criticized, but research shows that both the SAT and ACT are good measures of general cognitive ability, since just about any mental test measures one's ability to reason. Therefore, the scores that schools report to U.S. News & World Report give a reasonable snapshot of a school's overall smarts.
We updated last year's ranking by including all the schools in the national university, liberal arts college, regional university, and regional college lists that reported SAT or ACT scores in the latest U.S. News ranking.
ACT scores were converted to SAT scores (math + verbal) using this concordance table so all schools could be compared on one metric. Then, an average of the 25th and 75th percentile was computed (see more detail on methods and limitations here). This resulted in a total of 1,338 schools analyzed this year, from which we pulled the top 610.
On the following ranking, a (2) next to the school's name indicates that some or all students aren't required to supply scores; a (3) indicates that the school did not supply all students it has scores for, or did not tell U.S. News if it had; a (4) indicates that the data is from a previous year, rather than from the most recent year; and a (9) indicates that the school may not require scores from all applicants and that it may not have submitted data for all students.
