How to Cut Jeans into Shorts

Summer allows us to welcome those sassy shorts back into our wardrobes. Moreover, the denim shorts rule the season as they look super chic and hot. Hot denim shorts teamed with an over-sized tee and funky footwear to match, is the perfect attire this season. Well, if you are wondering how much would you have shell out to get this look, the answer is "nil". Yes, you read it right, nil. Many of us have a number of denims that just occupy place in our wardrobes, and we probably do not use them as they are flared and out of fashion, or due to various other reasons too. So, this is time to get them all out and cut them into shorts.

✂ How to Cut Jeans into Shorts

Cutting your denims into shorts is not rocket science, in fact it is very simple. Get a pair of scissors and a measuring tape ready. Now make sure you have a sharp pair of scissors, as a dull one can mess up the entire job. Decide how long you want the shorts to be. Do you want it super short or just above your knees. Once you have decided as to how you want it to be, place the start of the measuring tape on your waist (where you wear your jeans) along the length of your legs and then measure it, how long you want the shorts to be. Then place the jeans on a flat surface and with the help of the measuring tape mark the length of the shorts. Let the marks be nice and visible. Now cut where you have made the marks. Make sure you go slow and steady as you don't want the shorts to have those zigzag cutoffs. Once you are done, congratulate yourself you have actually made yourself a new pair of shorts. Easy, isn't it?

✂ How to Alter Jeans to Skinny Fits

Once you cut your denims into those cute shorts, it is time to refine its look! Since we have cut the jeans into shorts, they are likely to have those fraying ends. Although it gives these shorts a super cool thrashed ripped look, some prefer a more refined look. For the more refined look, you can fold the ends of these shorts inwards or outwards (however you like it) and get it hemmed. Now, some like the ends of the shorts to be body hugging while others like it loose. For those who like their shorts to taper at the end and fit them tight, can hem ½ inch each from along the sides of both the legs. This will give your shorts the skinny fit, allowing you to flaunt those long gorgeous legs.

✂ How to Get These Shorts Looking Attractive

Simply the cutting the jeans into shorts will only give you a bland look. To draw enough attention, you will need to actually beautify it. Since summer is the season of colors, you can get these shorts dyed in all the funky colors like yellow, orange and other pastel shades. These colorful shorts, when teamed up with a white tee, look absolutely classy. You can also get some embroidery done or rather do it on your own on the back pockets. You can also install bling stones to add a ting of glam quotient to it. Another idea to get these shorts really attractive is to rip them off a little to give you that thrashed rugged look.

Jeans shorts are timeless, iconic and classy garments, that give you that subtle sexy look. They are a unique combination of a relaxed and comfortable fit, along with giving your look that sexy edge. Make these shorts a part of your wardrobe without even spending a penny! Don them to make a style statement and enjoy all the admiring glances!
