Urban Style: Customised


Got round to customising my denim shirt for an impromptu night out on Friday and I must say having never used a glue gun before in my life I'm rather pleased with the results ok so all I did was add some pyramid shaped studs from an old belt I no longer wear to the shoulders but it took a lot of effort trust me especially considering I was texting at the same time and they say men can't multitask?....hmmmppff
Next adornment was my new Fluorescent pink flamingo purchased from Primark for £1.50 bargain which was added to the front pocket as a real statement piece.
I couldn't stop laughing at it when i bought it but then again I am easily amused I mean it has diamantes what more could you want and it attracted a far bit of attention in a good way tho you understand as everyone loved it and wants one of there own.
Next up for customisation was my Grey leather waistcoat type thing I say that as I'm not sure it is a waistcoat well it doesn't have sleeves so I guess it is, anyway I used the same studs but put them on the front where I had removed a few of the belt loops and put one stud on each shoulder which I think looks good makes it different and unique as I never like to look like everyone else I mean why would you (set trends don't follow them).
I haven't taken pictures of them yet but I will do tomorrow probably when I get the chance then you can let us know what you think as I'm also going to attack my denim waistcoat with some bleach to see how that works out it could go either way so wish me luck...

McQ by Alexander McQueen | McQ by Alexander McQueen Bleached Denim Gilet at ASOS



I used to have a denim jacket like this back in the late 90s when I was about 18/19...that I customised myself.
With a few rips here and there to help give it a worn out distressed feel making it that little bit more interesting and unique rather than a drab denim jacket that everyone else seemed to be  wearing during that heady "Britpop" era.
I might just go get a new one be it a vintage one or new get the scissors to it along with a bottle of bleach and relive my youth..what you think?
