Denim is probably the most timeless part of your dressing room. Have you worn your favorite model too much and you are tired? However, your old jeans has an unsuspected fashion potential. Here are 5 ways to give him a new breath.
We all have old jeans in the closet that we should throw for months. But how can we separate from this good old Levi’s to which we are so attached? We have experienced so many things with him … Do not panic, you will have no need to put him in the trash. Jean is a timeless fashion room and it would be a shame to get rid of it. Moreover, its different cuts are adapted to all morphologies. Your old denim can therefore be recycled with a few tips. Just take inspiration from the podiums and trends of the moment.
Effiloche denim has been a major trend for several seasons. Among the celebrities who adopted her, we find Bella Hadid, Rihanna, she Fanning or the influencer Chiara Ferragni. The New York brand of 3×1 jeans has made it its specialty and gives us the material to draw inspiration. The fringes can be long or shorter, it’s up to us to choose. Bonus, making fringes in your pants is very simple to make. Just cut the bottom of the jeans on four or five centimeters. He must fall at the top of the ankle. Then all you have to do is shock. Armed with a discovery (a small tool to buy in haberdashery for less than 2 euros) or a needle, a little patience and pull the horizontal wires from the fabric. You have just revived your denim.
The Jean Levi’s reviewed by clothes has become cult as quickly as a new Chanel bag imagined by Karl Lagerfeld. Its unstructured cut has delighted a number of fashionists, from the British Alexa Chung in the French Adenorah. Only downside: it costs the modest sum of 1,150 euros. So why not do it again? Bring a pair of scissors and cut the front of the pants, from one seam from the side to the other, on about three or four centimeters so that it arrives above the ankle. Then continue by cutting the behind in the same way until half, in order to leave only a quarter of the bottom of the pants to its original length. You get jeans from (almost) creator.
The hems are a playground with a thousand possibilities for the creator who lies dormant in us. Decorate them can completely change the pace of jeans. Some have fun covering them with sequins, like the Golds of Jean Saint-Laurent. Others put pompoms there, such as topshop, pearls, tulle or even feathers. To create pretty hems, we choose what we prefer between all subjects. Thread and a needle in hand and left for a little seam. Those that scares can even use extra fortune glue. The tour is played!
What could be better than pearls to restore a precious aspect to his old denim? Jourdan Dunn, she swears only by her signed jeans you are my treasure. Essential, Asos, Claudie Pierlot or Zara have also imagined their version. In turn! Pearls can be bought in haberdashery, in all sizes and all forms. It’s up to you to choose your favorites and sew them on the surface of the pants, preferably with a blue wire so that it can be seen as little as possible.
A strip of fabric on the side can enhance any jeans. Whether colorful, united or printed, the braid always has its small effect. At Victoria, Victoria Beckham, the creator’s bis line, the alignment of red ribbons, khaki and sky blue on the side of the leg brings a more fashionable touch to the room. The ideal is of course to choose your favorite colors and materials. The braid can sew by hand or using the machine lying around with your grandmother.
You no longer have an apology for relegating your jeans to the closet!
