Let’s be honest; everyone goes through a phase when they are done with their wardrobe. Every piece of clothing seems outdated and seems like they’ve lost the charm they once had.

The feeling almost compels you to go on a shopping spree, and that obviously isn’t a great idea for those with a limited income or on a tight budget.

But what if we tell you that you can freshen up your wardrobe and retain the long-lost charm of your old clothes without breaking the bank? 

Here are some amazing fashion hacks for you to try to give your old clothes a much-needed face-lift.

• Draw on your plain clothes

You might be bored of pairing your plain t-shirts or tops with a pair of jeans every single day. If that’s true, then you could always consider drawing curved shapes on your plain t-shirts with the help of your sewing machine. Yes, you can do that. 

Experimenting with different shapes will help you upcycle those bland t-shirts and blouses. The best part is that you’ll always have something new to wear. If you have no idea how to do that, consider signing up for online quilting courses where you’ll learn about tips and tricks of drawing perfectly on a piece of fabric. For this, all you need is a stable internet connection, a sewing machine, and a zipper sewing foot. 

Also, if you want to take this project up a notch, you can always use patchwork for your old clothes. All you need to do is spot the best pieces from your discarded clothes, cut them off, and sew them perfectly on a t-shirt, shirt, even your denim jacket.

• Use t-shirts for stylish crop tops

Crop tops are very in right now, and you can make your own with the t-shirts you already have. The best part is that you can achieve different styles with long sleeve t-shirts and the ones with those cute little knots at the front or side. 

All you have to do is cut your t-shirts to the appropriate length, and that’s it. You can have a trendy top just by splitting your t-shirts in half. Consider documenting your project as your friends would love to watch how you used your t-shirts and converted them into trendy masterpieces. 

You might feel a bit intimidated to work with scissors, especially on your favourite t-shirt. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to cut it too short or ruin it in any way. So, it would be best to adhere to online fashion tutorials and ease your worries.

• Give new life to your jackets and shirts

Take a good look at your closet and find those jackets and shirts you don’t feel like wearing anymore. Let’s make them pretty and wearable by breathing new life into them.  

All you have to do is swap those weary buttons with some sparkly ones or whatever suits your style and chop off the collars. 

Wear your newly made t-shirt with geometric patterns underneath your jacket and create a funky outfit for yourself. 

Freshening up your wardrobe by using your old clothes can be a bit challenging. But with the help of these fashion hacks mentioned above, you can easily breathe some new life into your old clothes.
