As mentioned on the previous post, here is how I made my distressed shorts. I’ve seen so many distressed shorts from different lookbooks, editorials and stores particularly high street brands, but I can’t seem to muster my courage (and money) to buy basically cut and destroyed shorts for thousands of pesos. I did a bit of research on different ways to distress some jeans and so far, this technique is my favorite.
What you’ll need:
old pair of jeans (mine were old Uniqlo jeans, look for jeans that don’t have much stretch to them)
scissors
tweezers
1. cut jeans into desired length of shorts
2. cut two parallel lines based on how big you want the distressing to look like
3. pull the blue threads out, avoid pulling out the white thread
4. throw them in the washer and you now have your “new” distressed denim shorts!
