Just finished up a fun DIY trick I haven't done since I was like 13. I am loving the look of distressed jean shorts for Summer, so I decided to give it a whirl. I dug out two old pairs of jeans that had awkward lengths (pretty common when you're 6'1) or were dated styles. I went for two different looks. One very distressed and one more clean and cuffed. I used sharp hair-cutting shears and took out some aggression on those babies! Then, I scruffed them a bit with a hard bristled brush. Go easy on the rear though, ladies, don't need a peep show!
I'm tossing the distressed pair in the wash for some extra fluffy details. Here are my finished products - what do you think??
I think the right idea is not to be TOO correct with this technique. Note the uneven hem lines and haphazard cuffs. Plus, I love that I could control the inseam and not flash too much thigh. Perfect!
Also, did I mention? FREE!
