Almost all of us have old jeans in our wardrobe that are no longer suitable for everyday wear, and we don’t want to throw out our favorite pants. In this case, you can breathe new life into worn-out jeans if you make fashionable holes on them.
Why will ripped jeans never go out of style?
Slouchy and slightly frayed jeans with visible knees are timeless classics of urban style that will never go out of style. The adherence to ripped jeans is due to the following reasons:
- Aged jeans make the look stunning and sexy. Just a few holes, exposing the legs in unusual places, become an object for attracting men's eyes.
- Ripped denim goes well with almost any top: blouse, T-shirt, T-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, etc.
- You can make fashionable holes on any jeans, even old and worn ones, which, after transformation, will turn into a stylish wardrobe item.
How to make holes on your jeans yourself?
At first glance, it seems that making holes on jeans is easier than ever, but to make them look like a designer's idea, and not like a fall mark, you will have to make some effort.
Step-by-step instruction:
- First you need to find the right trousers. It is desirable that they be a little worn out - natural wear and tear makes the fibers of the fabric softer, so jeans easily tear in the right direction.
-
Next, with the help of chalk, we mark the places for future holes. It is best to do this by wearing pants on your feet.

We put any hard surface under the leg (for example, a block or a wooden board) and carefully make holes in the designated places using a razor, utility knife or scissors. We process the edges of the hole with sandpaper or a file to give them the appearance of a natural wear.

Then we start processing the diagonal stitches of the material, giving them a worn look using a file.

- The jeans should then be washed to preserve the bleach effect. This should be done in cold water using a low spin speed.
-
The final step is to strengthen the torn areas, which will allow the jeans to last for many more years. If this is not done, then the holes will quickly disperse and lose their fashionable and stylish look. To strengthen it, it is enough to make a few neat stitches on all sides of the decorative hole.
