JAKARTA In the world of fashion, we often feel the need to buy new clothes to look fresh and up-to-date. However, there are more practical and budget-friendly ways to keep performing fashionablely, namely utilizing old clothes that are already in the cupboard.
This approach not only saves money, but also provides benefits to the environment by reducing the waste of new clothing consumption.
"This is the concept of expressing what clothes we have in the cupboard. This is an option so that clothes are environmentally friendly. Lebaran clothes don't have to be new, but they can be responsible for what they have," said Cynthia S Lestari, founder of Lyfe with Less, from an official statement received by VOI.
One of the best ways to maximize the potential of old clothes is to mix and match or match clothes that are already in the cupboard. This process not only increases efficiency in dress, but also highlights creativity and the ability to express oneself through style of dress.
"Interestingly, every shirt must be explored and expressed its creativity for our old clothes. What outfits to wear, you must be able to mix and match to match and look new," said Citra Moeins, Fashion Director & Consultant of the Moeins Project.
The creative process in dress becomes even more attractive when you realize that old clothes worn during Eid can be transformed into something that looks new and different. Many people think that clothes that have been worn once, such as Lebaran clothes, are only suitable for one occasion. However, with a little touch of creativity, these clothes can be created into new clothes that are ready to be used in other events.
"Usually synonymous with recent ones. The most important thing is to wear neat clothes. We start to look at the unused Lebaran clothes and can be made into new clothes," he said.
The habit of buying new clothes often makes us forget that old clothes in the cupboard can also be used with a little touch of creativity. Image tells about his personal experiences that can inspire all of us.
"I used to decide what to do with Lebaran clothes. Usually it's disposable, then it's not worn anymore. But think about what clothes Eid is wearing, then it can be used again for future events," he said.
