Denim is always in style, no matter the season or in which direction the current trendy winds are blowing. It’s a timeless material that you can use for the creation of several different pieces, from pants to tops, that are going to give your style a significant character. Check out our top DIY denim picks that will feed your passion for fashion!
1. Denim Jacket
We’re starting off with a denim jacket because it’s one of the most popular and recognizable denim pieces that always makes us dream about the 90’s. Give the classic jeans jacket a modern upgrade by following the instructions at Trash to Couture!
2. American Flag Jeans
Americans are known for their passionate patriotism, but even if you’re not from The States, you can surely recognize the American flag and appreciate its influence over fashion. We love how BLDG 25 celebrates the famous flag through these fabulous denim pants!

We love to be comfy all year round and if during the winter this means wearing chunky oversized sweaters, the summer is all about loose tanks and breathable shoes.
