The denim trousers change greatly

Trends change, and so do our tastes. We start to breathe these new trends, especially when it comes to tastes in fashion and clothes. Of late, narrow and skinny jeans are the buzzwords. I am liking them too, they make me looker leaner! Well, that is not the point, the point is what do I do with a pile of old bell bottom denim trousers. Discard them! come on I spend quite a few dollars in buying them back then. The dilemma is I don't want to get rid of them, nor do I want to wear them.

How To Make Cut Off Shorts

Step #1

You will need a measuring tape. Place the start of the tape on your waist exactly where you wear your denims, and let it fall along the length. While you do so make sure you are standing in front of the mirror, it will make your job easier. Now decide how long you want your shorts to be, just above the knees or a little more short. Whichever the case may be, just measure the length and write it down somewhere before you forget.

Step #2

Pull out an old denim, place them on a flat surface and with the help of the measurement, mark a line on both legs. You can use a ruler to draw a straight line, it will give the shorts a more finished look. Find a pair of sharp scissors, with the help of the same cut both the legs along the marked line in the second step. Leave an extra 2 inches length for folding, in case you want to.

Step #3

Now, turn the denim shorts inside out and lay them on a flat surface. If the length of the newly cut shorts vary, don't worry, take the scissors and snip away the extra fabric, bringing both the sides to the same length. Anyway we are going to fold them later. So, don't worry.

Step #4

One of the most interesting steps.You will need a razor. Run the razor on your denim to create a distressed look. You will notice loose threads exposed from the jeans giving you some seriously distressed perfection. Recommended areas for a distressed look are front pocket edges and back pockets.

Step #5

Finally, fold the ends of the shorts and hem them for a more classy look. You can choose not to hem them, giving it more frayed and rugged edges. And there you are with your brand new pair of denim shorts. Make sure you wash it before wearing, as it will fray the hem a little more and make them look simply stunning!
