Belt and jeans

You can try stitching a strip of different material into a worn-out jacket to add some glam. Shorten it into a cropped jacket if the ends are worn out. Use fabric paint and add some patterns into the material for a vintage look. The options are endless if you are creative with your clothes so why not experiment.
