With warm weather fast approaching, there's no more hiding under bulky clothing. And since you'll be shedding a few security layers, to guarantee that your appearance is polished, psychoPEDIA compiled a list of some effective products to sharpen your look from head to toe:

First, an impeccable outfit starts from the inside out. To that end, Her Look carries seamless undergarments that are an essential foundation for any outfit. The Commando Slip, a wardrobe must for any girl, allows dresses to perfectly drape and flow. The Commando Tiny Thong ($22) and Commando Girl Short ($26) are undetectable (or invisible) panties for pairing with tight-fitting jeans and leggings. Her Look also provides “enhancement” cutlets–- Takeouts ($48) and Cleavage Cupcakes ($44) which help you fill out fitted tops or bikinis.

The Strap Tamer ($9) is a simple and effective way of controlling straying straps. This little stainless-steel clip pins into the shoulder seam of your top, so the tamer can be left on during washes. For wearing your bra during intense physical activity, The Strapper ($5.99) will convert a bra into a racer-back as well as provide added support. For maximum coverage without a bra, DIMRs ($29.95) are reusable, washable, and hypoallergenic disks made of flesh-tone silicone to naturally adhere to skin without leaving any visible lines.

For wearing tight jeans without creating “muffin top,” Hip-T ($19.95) adds a protective layer without the bulk of wearing another top, that’s simply aimed to cover your ass-ets.

To prevent armpit rings in hot weather, Garment Guard ($10.95) disposable shields are adhesive cotton pads that stick to the inside of clothing. These guards will protect garments from both stains and odors, saving you from embarrassment and dry cleaning bills. And for those who prefer the freedom of not wearing undies, they offer a heart-shaped underwear alternative. These adhesive underwear ($7.95) are a sure way of having no panty lines and are a hygienic alternative to going “commando.”

Getting a baby-smooth shave is the first step to flawless legs. Luckily, the new Schick Quatro ($8.73) has dual moisturizing strips and four blades for long-lasting smoothness, so you can easily skip a day or two of shaving.

For a quick solution to shorten your slacks without a tailored hem job, Zakkerz ($24.00 and up) can shorten pants by simply rolling them up and applying the magnetic rings. The length is also adjustable according to the height of the shoes, without causing damage to your pants.

Finally, you can never have enough shoes. But breaking them in can often be painful, so protecting one’s feet becomes a major priority. Blisters are not only painful but lead to unsightly band-aids and scarring. GeLuscious ($4.99 and up) have created transparent gel Divine Drops, Pumpfort Pads, Heelmates, and Sassy Strips designed to protect your feet–- alleviating painful pressure. Peaches & Boo Boo Elixir ($20.00) is a non-greasy lotion that adheres to the skin, creating a barrier between shoes and feet that prevents slipping and chafing. Their Party Shoe formula claims to work for up to nine hours, for a worry-free full night on the town. But, if the damage has already been done, try Skin Shield ($4.99), which creates a second skin that will disinfect and protect any tender areas. Skin Shield also dissolves blisters, allowing them to heal much faster.
