Summer is coming, which means you may be preparing to hit the mall for some warm-weather wear. But before you do, consider what’s already in your closet. This summer, skip the shopping and opt for custom alterations for the clothing you already own, instead.

At 6 Avenue Tailor of New York, NY, providing customers with perfectly-fitted clothes is the priority. Below, their expert midtown tailors share a few good reasons to choose custom alterations this summer:

• Update Old Styles: Before you toss your old items into the garbage, consider all the possibilities a custom alteration can provide you with. Taking in the hem of a drab gown or getting a pair of pants tailored can give your pieces a new and youthful flare, allowing you to fall in love with your wardrobe all over again. 

• Look Sharp with Tailored Clothes: Even brand-new, designer clothes can look frumpy and feel uncomfortable if they don’t fit properly. But you don’t have to let your beautiful clothes stay baggy or stretched out. Instead, show off your sense of style by altering your clothes to perfectly fit your frame—you’ll be surprised by how great you end up feeling. 

• Do Your Part for the Planet: Eventually, most of your clothing will end up in the trash. But you can do your part for the environment by getting every bit of wear and tear out of an item before you throw it away. All you need to do to get the most out of your current wardrobe is visit your midtown tailor—they will repair existing damage and reinforce weak seams to help you stretch the life span of your closet even further.

With their top-notch service, 6 Avenue Tailor can provide rush and same-day custom alterations. And not only can they upgrade your summer wardrobe, but they also provide suit, wedding gown, and leather jacket alterations. To set up an appointment with these professionals, visit their website.
