How To Make Your Own Ripped Jeans

Who loves the ripped jeans look? I do! It seems like for the most part they are always in style too! Ripped jeans aren’t a new trend—not even close. The distressed style has fallen in and out of fashion favor since the 1980s, but it seems that in the last year or so, they’re more popular than ever.

Now I know not that ripped jeans are not appropriate everyday, everywhere, but on many days they are! Days when you are out running errands, going to the movies with your main squeeze, or when you are just hanging with your gal pals, to name a few. But, don’t despair, you CAN give your ripped jeans a polished look with a great top and fabulous accessories giving you more opportunities to wear them!

Of course you can buy ripped jeans just about anywhere that sells jeans and most likely for a hefty price. But how fun would it be to make your own, one of a kind, custom pair? Ripped just where you want it! Do you like two gaping holes at the knees, a few tiny nicks, or a series of serious slashes down the leg? Do you like tight & skinny, boyfriend, or high-waisted? You choose.

I have more jeans than I need in my closet in all kinds of styles. I think at least a couple of them could use a little distressing! This leads me to a great post on just how to distress your own jeans in 5 easy steps by my blogger friend Emma at Glitters & Roses.

Check it out! Can’t wait to see you around town in your custom pair!
