How to wear jeans?

The reasons that prompted you to create fashionable scuffs on jeans can be very different. Whether it is the desire to make their outdated trousers more stylish or an attempt to give inadvertently torn jeans a second chance.

Do it right! And how to achieve the effect of antiquity on jeans - ideally new or fairly well-worn - we will tell in our article.

Watch the following video, which shows fairly easy ways to turn old jeans into fashionable ones.

If you think that absolutely any denim trousers are ready for such metamorphoses, you are mistaken. The list of prohibitions is small, but pay attention to it.

You can not shred the following jeans:

• from too thin denim material (will not hold the form);
• from strongly stretch fabrics (will quickly spread, will look absolutely carelessly);
• wide, shapeless, irrelevant style (even this stylish element will not make them fashionable).

It does not matter what kind of jeans you decide to cover with artificial scuffs - new or old. Their age and degree of depreciation will not simplify or complicate the task. Work to be done considerable. And how exactly this happens, you will learn further.

There are many techniques and tricks that allow you to create a trendy antiquity effect on jeans. Consider the most popular and proven.

To use this method, prepare the following materials:

• a sheet of fine-grained emery paper (in the absence it can be replaced with a hard pumice stone or a small kitchen grater);
• eyebrow tweezers (or crochet hook - it is more convenient for someone to wield them);
• sharply ground chalk (remnant, or even a pencil / pen).

Next, proceed to work, adhering to our algorithm.

1. Mark on jeans place future fashionable touches. To do this, take the chalk (remnant / pen / pencil) and put the mark in the appropriate places. In order not to miscalculate with basting, you can wear jeans on it before. Ideal would be those places in which jeans are most often wiped by themselves. Do not be limited to the front of the pants. Back pockets are also a great place for stylish scuffs.
2. Before the direct manufacture of scuffs as planned, it is desirable to moisten the jeans (wet and squeeze). Therefore, it is best to mark it with a pen. Although crayons are also quite persistent. Now you can go through the sandpaper or float on the marked areas. If you want to achieve a more ragged effect, make a small cut in the middle of each mark.
3. Now use tweezers or a hook. Each scraping should be processed as follows: gradually remove from them the transverse yarn (blue). At the same time, it is important to keep all longitudinal threads (white) strictly in place.
4. The final stage of a similar metamorphosis of jeans is machine washable. She will bring the aging process to a logical ending.

How to make jeans with the effect of wear with sandpaper. See the next video.

This method implies that no physical violence will be applied to jeans. The effect of scuffs will be achieved through optical reception - bleaching of some areas on jeans fabric. And such art can be achieved by two different techniques.

For such a bold artistic experiment, stock up on the following tools:

• paint brush (No. 3 or No. 5, pony or squirrel - decide for yourself; an alternative tool is a regular sponge for washing dishes);
• medium sized wash basin;
• bleach;
• a piece of hard cardboard or plywood (to put jeans under the plot);
• rubber gloves.

When everything you need is ready, proceed to this creative process, guided by our instructions:

1. Dilute the bleach with water in a 1: 1 ratio in the basin.
2. As soon as the places of manufactured “scuffs” are outlined (for this you can use point 1 of the manual described above), put the cardboard or plywood under them. These manipulations are precautionary measures (in order to avoid “scuffing” where they should not).
3. Put on gloves and proceed to applying the solution on jeans using the selected tool (brush or sponge).
4. See the maximum allowable exposure time for your bleach fabric. All the necessary information will be found on its packaging. And give the facility to stay on the jeans necessary (according to the instructions) time.
5. After the desired period, rinse the pants thoroughly in cold water, then dry (it is better to apply a few rinses with intermediate and final spin in a washing machine). At the exit, you should get jeans with a visual imitation of scuffs, but the integrity of the fabric will remain intact.
6. If you wish, you can combine this method with the variant described earlier. In this case, cut off the whitened areas of jeans, as shown in the instructions for the first method of making scuffs on jeans.

See a similar workshop in the next video.

This technique will help not only to imitate scuffs, but also to create a trendy print around the perimeter of all jeans, on both sides!

You will need:

• medium sized wash basin;
• bleach;
• hair ties (white);
• rubber gloves.

The beauty of this method is that it can be called an alternative for the lazy. There is nothing to plan and estimate, everything is done “by eye”, because the beauty of such a decor is precisely in abstraction and confusion.

The algorithm is simple:

1. Jeans tie a knot, as shown in the photo. In some places, in random order, drag small tufts of denim with rubber bands.
2. Moisten the resulting bundle under clean running water.
3. Wear rubber gloves and place jeans in a mixture of water and bleach (1: 1) for the time allowed by the instructions.
4. After the desired time has expired, rinse the jeans under running water, gradually removing the elastic bands and straightening the knot. After this, rinse and dry in a typewriter.
5. After drying you are waiting for jeans, transformed beyond recognition!

Anyone who will be wearing jeans for the first time should read these important recommendations:

• If you do not feel sufficient confidence in yourself, exercise first on an unnecessary piece of jeans. In order to fully fill the hand in this matter, it is possible specifically for such a case to buy a pair of unnecessary jeans in second hand.
• In the course of artificial aging, avoid processing the jeans in the area of ​​the seams - this can lead to the fact that they will spread out in the most inappropriate place.
• Rubbing with bleach can be varied, then processing them with paint for fabric. This guarantees an even more original and unique fashionable effect.
• Vertical oblong abrasions can visually lengthen the legs, adjust the shape.
• Jeans in the field of scuffs need to be strengthened so that they serve you longer. To do this, treat them from the inside flizelinom or any other soft glue cloth.
