I have the hardest time finding the right style of distressed skinny jeans for the right price.
Something just doesn't make sense that a pair of ripped jeans should be so expensive.
I mean, I can rip my own jeans for free, right?
When I try to shop for affordable styles, they are just not what I am looking for.
So, I googled DIY distressed jeans.
It turns out it is really simple to achieve a great result without worrying that you are going to mess up a perfectly good pair of jeans.
All you need are scissors, a razor, and tweezers.
I originally bought my skinny jeans from Target for $28.
Because they are so afforable, I didn't mind cutting them.
I think the trick to making your jeans look like you have had them for years is how you make the first cuts.
To achieve this, cut slits above and below the knee area.
Make sure that the cuts are rounded because if you cut straight across, it can look boxy.
The "hardest" part is pulling out the little denim threads to expose the white threading underneath.
It is tedious with the first few threads but it goes faster as you go along.
And don't be too careful, it is okay to just grab a clump and pull.
And voilà, you can easily achieve the expensive style of ripped jeans with these easy steps!
Here is my finished product after washing and drying them!
They are so comfortable and I love to wear them with my white Chucks!
