Everyone gets holes in their clothes. You may not notice holes in your co-worker's clothes, but that's because they have been diligent about their wardrobe. Other people just never get around to repairing their holes. In some circles, this sort of lax behavior passes for a fashion statement. But for those of us with nine-to-five jobs, this oversight counts for negligence and could indicate greater personality problems for the person wearing said clothes. Or this could just mean that they have not had time to patch that hole, or perhaps they simply don't know how. Why take the chance that people will think less of you when Expert Village makes this chore so fun and easy?

Not only will you cover up that hole, you will make your outfit more exciting than it was before with these great fashion tips from our expert.
