3 ways to Upcycle Your Old Clothing |
Have you ever had one of those days where you just cant find that right outfit,? Those days when you've gone through all your clothes, made a mess and are just tired of every item of clothing you try on. Eventually you end up giving up and wearing the most basic outfit EVER! Yeah we know that feeling.
The thing is that sometimes living up to the expectations that you have to look fresh and fly every single day is stressful, but putting together an outfit that makes you look and feel good shouldn't be. So here's what to do in order to add freshness back into your outfit routine. Most of the time people don't notice that they have a lot of clothing that they no longer wear or even look at, just piled up in their closet. And you don't realize that those clothing items have so much potential! Whether it be your old flannel, an old pair of over sized shorts, jeans that no longer fit the way you want them to or that windbreaker that just went out of fashion. Here are the 3 Ways to Upcycle Your Old Garments: 1) Cut and sew it into a crop top: This is mostly for my ladies but all are always welcome to it. In case you didn't know you can really never go wrong with a crop top. Taking something like an old flannel and turning into a two piece: crop top and mini skirt 2) From plain to super remixed ripped everything : Turn those old jeans into super swag hip hop style ripped jeans by going in with scissors and tweezers to create the swaggest ripped jeans, or take that old jean jacket and rip to your own liking to make a whole mathing outfit! 3) Add ON's for Dayz: Adding leather fringe to an old wind breaker, or painting on that old jean jacket, or adding straps and buckles to that old pair of reflective joggers is a sure fire way to make new clothing items your excited to wear. Pins on an old sweater vest, or adding pockets to make utility pants, or even adding swatches of different fabric as patches to cover up old holes will really create whole different looks you'll be excited to rock! Upclycling simply put means remixing and bringing back to life those old pieces of clothing that you thought you had thrown away a long time ago. Not only will you revisit your old stash of clothes and possibly be happily surprised with their potential but once you restyle them you will find that it will bring new excitment and swag to your closet all together! |
