intage clothing is all the rage nowadays, but it can get pretty expensive when items are older and more valuable. Ditch the local thrift store and shop through your parents closet. Your parents have probably held onto special items throughout the years, just in case you would ever ask for them. Now’s the time to bring vintage back with a customized touch. Here is Thread’s guide to making your parents’ old clothes look brand new:
HANG LOOSE Oversized anything looks great all year round, but going as big as possible is ideal now that the days are getting colder. Grab your dad’s jackets and shirts for a look that is cute and comfortable. Old corduroy and denim shirts make perfect shackets – shirt jackets – for those lazy days. These can be flawlessly paired with a crop top underneath, leggings, and winter boots. For a special night out, a black leather jacket can complement a shorter midi dress and Chelsea boots to look put together without much work at all. 152 | THREAD
