You can buy distressed jeans at any store, however, you can take any pair of denims and turn them into a trendy favourite with these tips.
- Prefer an old pair: Pick a pair of denims which is relatively inexpensive. It's wise to practice on a pair that is not your all-time favourite or very expensive.
- Protect the other side: Slip something inside the leg of your jeans, like a piece of cardboard, a small ironing board, or any firm surface, so that the areas other than the ones you want distressed are protected.
- Use a cheese grater: An easy way to distress your jeans is with a cheese grater where the distress look can be created by vigorously grating the fabric. You can also use a knife or the blade of a scissor.
- Add bleach: Bleaching is necessary when it comes to distressing jeans. When applied properly, bleach can make a new pair of jeans appear quite lived in.
- Wash and Wear: Wash your jeans several times before wearing. Washing will both soften the denim as well as emphasize the fraying of the distressed edges.
