Recreating Old Pieces of Clothing

Almost everyone goes through that phase where they feel they have absolutely nothing to wear, and that their wardrobe needs some serious improvement. Well, if you are in no mood to shop, and would like to make use of what you already have in a slightly different way, then look no further. Here are a few outfit ideas using basic pieces of clothing you may already have.

You can do a lot more with a skirt

If you have a suitable skirt, like a midi pencil skirt, it may actually turn out to be a multi-purpose piece of clothing. If it fits well, you can turn it into a tube top or even a dress if it is long enough. Wear it as a tube top if you would like to show off your shoulders, otherwise just use a denim jacket or a simple shrug to cover them. Voila, you now have a new top or dress. If you try the same with a skirt that flares a bit, then you can tuck it into your pants, and no one will be able to guess that it is a skirt and not a tube top.

Wear your overalls with something more dressy

If you are bored of pairing your overalls with a shirt or a t-shirt, pair them with an off-shoulder top or even a tube top for a fresh look. An interesting trend is to let one of the straps of the overall hang free. Not only overalls, but jumpsuits also come in an amazing variety can be matched to look suitable for formal, casual or even fancy occasions.

Get creative with your lingerie

Lingerie is too pretty to always be worn on the inside. Wear a black bralette with an elegant blazer for a fancy event and you will look a class apart. Even some of the camisoles, done beautifully with lace can make for great tops if layered well with other pieces. The next time you go shopping, just look around a little at the best lingerie shop in Delhi and you will be surprised at what you can do with it.

Kurtas for some indo-western outfits

If you are bored of wearing a long Kurta like you usually do, then try wearing a pretty belt around your waist and wearing it like a dress if it does not have cuts on the side. For Kurtas that have buttons all the way down, just unbutton them. Then wear them over a tank top in a matching colour, and end up recreating even workout clothes for women.

Just think of different purposes your usual clothes can fulfil and you may renew your wardrobe without even spending a bit of money.
