]]>Let’s start with that dress that is just not the right size. You can save the gorgeous print by trimming a section of the dress and sewing it to the back of a denim jacket. Now you have a fun and funky jacket bursting with personality. Feel free to experiment with spare material by adding it to the pockets, collar, or wherever else you like.
Ripped shirts? Have a go at sewing them together to create a new and completely one-of-a-kind piece. Try to stick to similar colors but don’t be afraid to mix different patterns.
Jeans you don’t wear? Cut strips out of them and join them together to make a denim bag made up of different shades. Cut off a pocket and add it to the front for added storage.

]]>According to fashion experts, this summer is all about flowy, flowery dresses, bright, happy colors, and luxe fabrics. One brand that knocks it out of the ballpark when it comes to summer fashion is Andrea Iyamah. Founded in 2011 by Nigerian fashion designer Andrea Dumebi Iyamah, the brand has gained some well-deserved attention online, thanks to its ideal treatment of the female body. Iyamah’s clothes have also been featured in publications like Vogue, Forbes, InStyle, and Huff Post, meaning she’s embraced by both fashionistas and fashion writers.
Coming from Nigeria, Iyamah’s brand celebrates African culture through its choice of patterns, textures, and colors. “My Nigerian roots are quite a part and parcel of me that it comes quite natural to include some elements that portray the culture,” explained the brand owner n an interview with The Folklore. “Nigerians are energetic, vibrant, and confident which are elements that are evident in A.I. designs. Also having our flagship A.I. studio, and operating out of there, keeps the inspiration fresh and relevant.”
Her formal fashion education also, naturally, plays a role in her collections. “I always had an affinity to art and design of all kinds, but clothing design really kicked off when I was in university,” she explains. “Having a formal education and vocational skills were very important, so the challenge was balancing both without losing on either.”
If you’re looking for that ideal summer dress or that original swimwear piece, you’d want to check out her brand.

]]>A good white cotton shirt is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe and it can make you look polished without trying too hard. As long as it’s made from high-quality fabric, it doesn’t matter how much you paid for it. It can come from a clearance rack, a thrift store, or a high-end brand—it will always look amazing
The selection of knitted clothes is incredible and they come at different price points. Once you figure out what you like and what looks good on you, you’ll realize that there’s no need to spend too much to look amazing.
When it comes to denim, the price can be an indicator of the quality, but the most important thing is to make sure it fits you properly. Jeans that fit well will look perfect on you even if you paid $10 for them, as opposed to high-end jeans that don’t fit your body type.

]]>There’s a lot of different ways to do a clothing swap. You can get a group of your friends together to meet up for one swap session in which everybody brings clothes they don’t wear anymore and can take home up to as many items as they bring. Or you can do it digitally, starting a group chat where people can post photos of items they’re willing to give away, coordinating exchanges one-on-one with whoever is interested in a particular item.
However you decide to do your clothing swap, it’s a great way to refresh your wardrobe while being environmentally-friendly. Plus it has the benefit of encouraging you to clear your closet of anything you’re not showing much love to for somebody else to enjoy and get more use out of. Best of all, you can make a whole night of it with some music and wine and runway walks.
So who needs to even leave the house to go all the way to a thrift store after all?

]]>Launched in 2014 by husband and wife duo Ingrida Margelė and Airidas Margelis, the brand has quickly risen to internet fame, thanks to their well-made clothes that are meant to be durable, without compromising on your ethics or breaking the bank.
All linen garments are made locally, using only toxic-free, Oeko-tex certified linen, with the brand adhering to fair trade principles. “Our brand is inspired by nature and movement,” shared Margelė in an interview with the Etsy blog, explaining that “comfort is important to us.

Indeed, their quality linen can be worn for any and every activity: from cycling and playing outdoors to formal events. “Our clothes can be used for gardening, traveling, or shopping at the market,” explains Margelė. “But the same garment, if dressed up a bit, could be worn for a formal occasion. There are so many things we have to do in our lives, why not have a staple that works well for numerous occasions?”
With almost 50k followers on Instagram to date, their fashion statement hasn’t gone unnoticed.

]]>The most essential step is to stop bringing more stuff home. Don’t do an extreme declutter which will lead to more shopping once you realize you’re left with nothing. Instead, go through your stuff and organize them so you can see how you can get more use out of what you already own.
This doesn’t mean you can’t shop for anything ever. Before buying something, make sure it’s an item you really need and can use in various combinations. Whenever you can, buy an item of high quality that will last you for a long time and avoid short-term trends.
Don’t expect to do all this over the course of one weekend. Take your time and enjoy the process. Let it change the way you think about fashion and trends and start building the wardrobe that expresses your personal style, regardless of the trends that come and go.

]]>Don’t just pack everything, but take time to sort and see what you’ll keep and what you’ll donate or recycle. You’ll be thankful you did this the next time you need to unpack these clothes.
Don’t pack unwashed clothes — it can lead to producing mold or breaking down the fibers. Make sure everything goes through the laundry before packing.
Avoid places that are too hot or humid because they can damage your clothes. Basements make sense in terms of getting the boxes out of your sight, but make sure the conditions are optimal for storing clothes for months so they stay as good as new for the next season.
