Mix and Match Styles: Streetwear Budgeting DIY Hacks
When you’re ready to start cashing in on some sales, make sure to be mindful of lasting styles or styles that will go well with your current arsenal of clothing. Using techniques such as color theory will help you pick through the many styles you will run into when shopping online. Neutral colors are easiest to pair with, as well as black and other dark tone styles. But if the sale is good, you can grab a few statement colors like red, green, royal blue and more to have those special statement pieces. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can cop a pair of denim jeans or a graphic tee and add your own artistic embellishments like deconstructed details, rhinestones, extra frayed seams and even bleach designing. This will elevate your already custom design into something even more unique and never-before-seen.
