5 easy thrift flips for summer according to Tik Tok

Thanks to brands and conscious consumers, constantly updated on sustainable fashion topics, we can say that upcycling is the new black. The most valid option to have new and trendy garments without spending and stimulate the frantic production of fast-fashion garments is the thrift-flip, a way of transforming clothes too big or ruined second-hand following your imagination.

Even fashion brands like Sunnei and Vibram noticed the passion of customers to make more personal purchases through items to add or customize. Like all DIY environments, guides and video tutorials on the subject are popular on Tik Tok, where the thrift-flippers community is populous and active and the hashtag #thriftflip boasts more than 1.3 billion views. With little tricks and very few tools such as needle and thread, glue for fabrics, acrylic colors, scissors and elastic, the shirt too big of dad or that pants left without buttons change face and become the new diamond tips of the wardrobe. Thrift-flipping means both extending the life cycle of the garment and adapting garments already owned to your personal style, effectively sustainable practice and low environmental impact. If the sewing machine is not a stranger then, turning the closet into an atelier is a breeze thanks to the inspo from Tiktok. nss G-Club offers a selection of the 5 best thift flip themed videos on Tik Tok to watch and replicate at home for a practical, fun and fashion-savvy session.
