Give New Life to Those Slacks You Never Wear

If you have tailored slacks in your closet that you have not worn in quite sometime, because they have either shrunk in length, or have always been an odd length then take them to the seamstress. This summer’s style is filled with tailored shorts. And those slacks you had banished to the back of your wardrobe are now contenders for the front space in your wardrobe. Make them into shorts, and take this trend in stride. The cost of hemming them will be miniscule in comparison to buying new ones, and you will have recycled which is an inspired step. Not to mention they will fit you perfectly, and what could be better than being on trend in fabulously made to fit you bottoms. If you are really into this garment makeover, then create something out of the leftover pieces from the slacks. I asked the seamstress to gather the fabric in short strips and put snaps on their inside, thus making several one of a kind bracelets. You are more than welcome to replicate this idea.

If you have neglected slacks in your wardrobe that are made of denim, then they can find a new life as shorts too. We all put a lot of time and effort into procuring swimwear for women and once we have found the perfect bikini or one piece we want nothing more than to show it off. However, when we want to leave the beach and pop inside a cafe for a tea or snack we need to cover the swimsuit up. Enter those newly reconfigured denim shorts. They very well could become your favourite summer article of clothing, as they are super versatile and ever so handy.
