Distressed jeans have always been a trend since I can remember. My mum owned a pair when I was little, I owned a pair a few years ago. However, distressed jeans are so on trend at the moment more than ever now that we're coming into spring/summer. There's just something about that little bit of skin peeping through that we all love. They go perfectly with anything and give that edgy/ rough & effortless look to any piece you wear them with which I absolutely adore! I've been trying to find THE perfect pair of distressed black skinny jeans EVERYWHERE and have had no luck. Either they're too long, have too many rips, sold out... You get my drift. After failing to find my perfect pair, I came up with the fab idea of buying a standard pair of H&M black jeans and DIY'ing the rips onto them (da da!)
I'm not a DIY person at all, mainly because I'm so so lazy! If you can find it in a high street shop already done, why bother? But I'm definitely starting to change for the better.
All you need for this DIY operation is a standard pair of black jeans (ofc), a pair of scissors, a pencil, a hard object to place in the jeans and a nail filer/ shard ended object e.g sandpaper block.
 |
| Step 1- take a pair of jeans and place the pins where you would like the rips. Ideally you should place the pins when worn. |
 |
Step 2- place a hard object like shown inside the jeans.
|
 |
| Step 3- cut the rip just below the pin & the use a rough end object on the rip to create a rough look. |
 |
| This is how I styled my DIY distressed jeans: Denim shirt - Topshop Cami - Topshop Jeans - H&M (DIY Distressed) Slip on's - H&M |
Maybe you girls have had the same problem with not finding your perfect distressed jeans. Let me know down below if you have used this DIY method in turning a standard Plain jane pair of jeans into a pair of Classy Rock Chic distressed jeans.
Song I am loving at the moment is Clean bandit - Rather be. Love how this song can put me in a great mood instantly.
Love and peace,
