Summer fashion means one thing: fun in the sun. Everyone needs a fresh perspective for their wardrobe, so whether you want to lighten it up at work or impress your friends by the pool, a chic and unique outfit can be exactly what you need to feel summer fresh. Grab some scissors and pins, and let these DIY clothing projects make you shine.
1. No Sew Flow
Pick out a six-by-four-feet, flowing fabric in a summer-appropriate color of your choice. White’s always classic, but baby blue or sunflower yellow would be bright and alluring as well. Just measure out your waist, snip away and you’ve got something super chic, but totally unique that’ll flow in that summer time breeze.

2. A Touch of Lace
It’s cute; it’s edgy but totally adds that summer time flair. Subtle uses of lace can turn something completely blasé into a garment of intrigue. With a white T-shirt and eggshell lace, here you’ll learn how to cut raglan-style short sleeves to incorporate that breeziness of the lace. A zigzag finish turns this into almost punk rock, yet fashionable couture.

3. Cover Up After a Dip
We all know and love that relaxed beach swagger. Some pull it off with ocean-kissed hair, swim dresses and head scarves, while some struggle not to look like a washed up ragdoll. This piece is a DIY gem because it’s incredibly simple to make, but amazingly stylish and will undoubtedly draw eyes of envy next to the waves or at the pool. Give it a try starting with an oversized men’s T-shirt.
