How to Make Old Clothes Feel New

Making old clothes feel new is mostly about how you pair them, not what you buy. These outfits mix crisp with worn-in, dressy with casual, and add a longer necklace or a classic staple to refresh the rest. Most of the ideas work with what is already in your closet.

American Stripe Trend: Skater Tees and Rugby Shirts

The Breton has had a long run as the tidy, sensible stripe, but this fall the looser American version is taking its place.
