Since my Vintage Levis made the style gallery on Chictopia Yay! thought I'd do a tutorial on how to make one.
What you will need.
A pair of Scissors.
Blade.
Old jeans.
Pair of current shorts to measure the cutting length.
Old Pair of H&M high waisted acid jeans (high waisted is not neccesary you can use any style)
TopShop high waisted denim shorts (if you picked a low waist jeans make sure you use a low waisted shorts to measure). Align it with the crotch area., as shown below
Cut at least 1.5 inches or 2 inches longer
Use the leg to cut the other leg.
Like this
It should look something like this.
Take a magazine or book.
Put it inside the jeans, make sure to pull the pockets out too. You do this so you don't end up cutting the back side of of your shorts & have holes in your pocket
Cut the area you want to destroy. 2 parallel lines to begin with. The more destroyed, the more cuts.
Your cuts should look something like this.
Start pulling out the darker thread and you should be left with the lighter ones. Shown below.
After you are done. I only did one side for this shorts. Next, for the bottom run you scissors without cutting it but roughly runnning it over and over the hemline.
Wash & Throw it in the Dryer. It should come out even more destroyed. You are done!
One of the few ways to wear it.
I hope this tutorial was helpful.
Ciao for now
