Ten thrift-store hacks promise the same look guys notice on the runway, minus the runway price tag.

TheThings Celebrity, the pop-culture and lifestyle channel that’s been churning out listicle videos since 2015, dropped a tutorial aimed squarely at anyone tired of watching New York, Paris, and London Fashion Week send prices into the thousands for a single jacket. “10 DIY Girl Fashion Trends Guys Love” runs through ten at-home projects that mimic the runway look using stuff already sitting in a closet — a T-shirt, an old pair of jeans, some embroidery thread. The pitch is simple: you don’t need a designer budget to pull off a designer silhouette.

• The video opens with distressed denim, showing how a cheese grater or plain sandpaper can rough up an old pair of jeans instead of paying premium prices for pre-distressed designer versions.
• All ten projects work from basics already in most closets — T-shirts, denim jackets, flats — rather than requiring new purchases.
• The tutorial frames the whole list against the backdrop of Fashion Week pricing, where comparable pieces off the runway can run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Distressed Denim Tops Fashion Trends

Distressed jeans have stuck around as a wardrobe staple for years, and brands have leaned into that by charging a premium for denim that already looks beat up. TheThings Celebrity treats it as the entry point to the whole video, showing a grater or sandpaper doing in minutes what a factory otherwise bills out as a finishing process. It’s the kind of shortcut that explains why DIY clothing tutorials have become their own corner of the internet — people would rather ruin a five-dollar pair of jeans themselves than pay retail for the “ruined” look.

Grab a pair of old jeans and distress them yourself with a cheese grater or sandpaper for that edgy look.

Reworking Basics Into Statement Pieces

From there, the list moves into cutting and restyling rather than distressing. Crop tops get made by trimming a regular T-shirt down and pairing it with high-waisted shorts. Off-the-shoulder tops come from the same starting material — cut the collar and sleeves off an old tee and the shape does the rest. Lace-up tops follow a similar logic: slice a T-shirt up the front, thread some string through, and the $60 boutique version becomes a five-minute project.

Embroidered denim jackets round out the restyling section, with embroidery thread standing in for the hand-stitched detailing that pushes designer jackets into the higher price brackets often seen coming out of Fashion Week collections — the same kind of markup that shows up in high-end formalwear, including pieces comparable to the price tags behind some of the most expensive royal wedding dresses ever documented.

Accessories Get the Same Treatment

The back half of the video shifts to smaller add-ons: statement jewelry built from beads, chains, or recycled materials; a revived ’90s choker made from velvet ribbon or lace trim; fringe added to the hem or straps of an old tank top or dress; embellished shoes with gems or studs glued onto plain flats or sandals; and iron-on or sew-on patches applied to a jacket or backpack for a personalized finish. None of the ten projects requires more than materials most people already have lying around a craft drawer.

Taken together, the list functions less like a single trend piece and more like a toolkit — the kind of content that keeps DIY fashion channels relevant alongside the runway coverage and modeling-world content that outlets track season after season, including retrospectives like what the winners of America’s Next Top Model look like today.

The video doesn’t rank the ten looks or crown a favorite — it just runs the list start to finish and leaves the grater, the sandpaper, and the embroidery thread to do the talking. For anyone actually trying one of these before the next Fashion Week cycle rolls around, distressed denim is still the one takes the least time and wrecks the fewest T-shirts in the process.
