I'm sure I am not the only one who forgets what it feels like to be wearing jeans throughout this quarantine. I woke up this week trying to brainstorm how to still feel good and creative in what i'm wearing while social distancing and keeping safe. After sitting around in boring baggy clothes for a month it really gets to you, since what we wear reflects our overall moods and energy levels. I recently was scrolling through some websites and saw sweatsuits going for $150 + and was this close to buying one of my favorites but then realized how fun it would be to create my own one of a kind bleached sweatsuits and instantly placed a bulk order of some sets to make for my family and I.
Making a chic quarantine sweatsuit:
1. First, you want to hunt down a black crew neck or hoodie with matching black sweatpants (which is honestly harder than one would think due to so many tie dyeing trends going on right now) So I suggest working with what you have in your closet already if you are unable to find any blank sets online.
2. Once you have your set all you need is some rubber bands and Clorox bleach mixed in a spray bottle with water.
3. Once you have your materials you then want to use the crinkle method in placing your hoodie and sweats in the rubber bands (make sure your set is dry and not damp).
4. Then spray away and set a timer for 10 minutes!
5. After 10 minutes you want to rinse our your set in the bath tub or shower until all the orange has been washed out and lastly throw your set into the washer and dryer on cold cycle!
