Dress Up Your Denim
To dress up your denim jacket, paint the seams white paint or a white paint marker. Not only does it make your denim jacket stand out, it can also give it a whole new look.
Dress Shirt Hack 2: Off the Shoulder Shirt
Another hack to use with dress shirt is to pull one sleeve off of your shoulder and tie it across your waste to the shirt tail on the opposite side. This allows you to show a little shoulder and still maintain a somewhat formal look.
Cut Shirt Hack
To give your shirt a more open look while exposing some skin, cut a triangle out of the material on the front while leaving the collar intact. You can also cut slits in the sleeves and tie both ends of the cut in a knot.
Dress Shirt Hack 3: Strapless Top
To turn your dress shirt into a strapless top, pull your arms out of the sleeves and tie them across your front. Make sure to button the shirt up high enough so that the top doesn’t fall down.
DIY Holey Jeans
If you have jeans damaged at the knees, you can cut the material out at the knees to remove the damage. This has the side benefit of turning your jeans into a stylish pair of ripped jeans.
Colorful Jacket Patches
If you have rips in your denim jacket, you can cut out the damaged areas and replace them with multi-colored patches. This fixes the tears in your jacket while also making your jacket look almost like new.
DIY Fashionable Cut-Off Jean Shorts
For this hack, cut off a pair of denim jeans at an angle where the leg meats the pelvis area. Next, create a fringe along the bottom edge of the shorts. For added character, cut slits on either side below the pockets and add some shapes cut out of the extra denim.
Cheap Adidas Sweater
For a less-costly Adidas sweater you can make your own. Take a black sweater and then apply an iron on Adidas patch. Cover the patch with Saran wrap and iron it while covering it with a thin cloth.
Make-Your-Own Swimsuit
If you are in need of a swimsuit and don’t have one available, you can use a pair of stretch pants to make a swimsuit in an emergency. To do this, sew the bottom of the legs together before cutting them off, leaving enough material to form the bottom of the swimsuit.
Sew the legs to either side of the front of the bottoms to create the top of the swimsuit. Finally, to wear the swimsuit, place the sewn-on legs over your neck.
DIY Lace Sleeves
If you have a ripped sleeve on your denim jacket, you can fix it using nothing more than two table doilies. Start by cutting the sleeve off at the top seam with a pair of scissors. Next, sew the doilies around the top of the shoulder of the jacket, creating a lace sleeve.
Fringed Jeans
To upgrade the look of a pair of denim jeans, start by cutting off the bottom hem of each pant leg. Next, cut some slots in the denim material and create a fringe around the bottom of each leg.
Too-Tight Jeans Water Trick
If your jeans are too tight and you have trouble getting them on, then mist them with a spray bottle filled with water. The moisture should help the jeans to stretch, allowing you to get them on easier.
Revitalize Your Old Skinny Jeans
If you have a pair of skinny jeans that have a stain on the bottom cuff of the leg, make them more fashionable by first cutting off the hem at the bottom of each pant leg. Next, cut the fabric at the bottom of each leg, removing a small triangular section of material.
Last of all, cut a small slit into the thigh of the pants and fray it slightly to achieve a ripped look.
