Update the shirts from your closet to the current trends, here are a few ideas to customize them easily and quickly. 

Open back shirt. This is a very nice alteration in my opinion. Cut out the shirt at the center back leaving an inch of fabric at the top. The shirt in the pic is absolutely stunning in light weighted cotton with cut out embroidered sleeves. It could be a precious piece coming from a granma chest, I really like it.

Color contrast shirt. Cut away collar and cuffs from your shirt, use them as a pattern and cut them on another fabric. You can also exchange collar and cuffs with another shirt.  I  also like the idea of the color contrast band for buttons. You can cover it with another fabric. Black and white is a must for spring, but you can get creative and choose fabrics with patterns.

Shoulder holes have been very popular for a while and this is still my favorite version. It's chic and feminine. If you like this look, cut away the shoulders of your shirt and sew a precious trim around the edge. Great result with little effort.

Open sleeves. I like floaty see through shirts. I buy one of these every summer. This is a quick update, cut the sleeves vertically to create a peek-a-boo effect.

DIY inspiration to survive this hot summer staying stylish.

• cut out fabric from your shirts (it can be sleeves, the bottom, the back)
• use the cut piece as a pattern and copy its shape on a lightweighed fabric
• sew the sheer fabric in place

to get a unique sheer shirt.

I cut out a man shirt once and I'm definitely going to use this technique again to make a summer sheer shirt.

Ecco qualche spunto per sopravvivere a questa calda estate con stile. 

Possiamo alleggerire una camicetta estiva in questo modo:

• ritagliate delle parti dalla camicetta (possono essere le maniche, il retro o parte del davanti) 
• utilizzate la parte tagliata come modello e ricopiatene la forma su una stoffa leggera e trasparente
• ricucite il pezzo mancante
•  otterrete così una camicia davvero unica e fresca

Ho applicato questa tecnica con successo per trasformare una camicia da uomo, cliccate qui per guardare il tutorial

Man shirt makeover

Many winter looks are inspired by men style. What better than a classic man shirt to jump on seasonal trends? I spent this week examining minutely this piece of wardrobe and at the end I couldn't resist giving  it my own twist. There are many beautiful details in a man shirt: the stiff collar and cuffs,the button line so I thought it would be cool to emphasize these details and make them pop out of the shirt.  I cut out a piece from the front of the shirt and I subsituted it with a very light weighted tulle. I think I obtained a masculine look with a feminine twist, what do you think of the result? Tomorrow the tutorial!

La moda invernale si ispira al guardaroba maschile. E come non scegliere una camicia classica per interpretare il trend di stagione? Tanti sono i dettagli che rendono speciale la camicia : il colletto rigido, il bordo con i bottoni allora perchè non metterli in evidenza e farli risaltare? Ho ritagliato parte della camicia e ho sostituito il cotone con del tulle leggerissimo ottenendo così un effetto trasparenza che rende il look si androgino ma con un twist femminile. Che ne pensate? Tornate domani per il tutorial!
