Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak. Fashion is what you buy, and style is what you do with it. And every piece of clothing deserves a second chance. Because at the end of the day, the secret of a great style is to feel good in what you wear.

Do you think that you don’t have what it takes to achieve that? Well, we have a list of 15 ideas and tutorials for refashioning old clothes. Super easy designs and with beautiful results.
