Visual: Cayla and Alexa, summer students hired, explore ways to reduce wardrobe waste.
Dress styles come and go, but look no further than your own wardrobe to stay on trend.
Dye dull, bleached or stained clothes to revive their appearance. Or try reverse tie-dyeing by bleaching this nondescript black t-shirt to make it a one-of-a-kind.
Cut old jeans into shorts or give them a worn look by running a disposable razor or using tweezers.
Make an old shirt a whole new one by shortening it; the remaining fabric can be used to make a matching accessory to your new outfit.
The heat-sealing panels will give your denim jacket a whole new look.
Do not tempt you with tinkering? Swap clothes with friends or match clothes from your wardrobe in a new way.
Do a little trimming before you throw away – follow the reuse tips that will turn your wardrobe items into wardrobe treasures. Be creative Ottawa!
