We love cutoffs—they scream summer—but sometimes they can be a bit tricky to make. The first thing you have to do? Find the right pair of jeans. Skinnies need not apply! We’ve covered how to find the perfect pair for three different styles of cutoffs. Plus, we found a stylish DIY for each version. You’ll be wearing your short shorts in no time. (And for the embellished tutorials shown below, check our Cutoffs, 3 Ways post.)
Relaxed & Studded Fit
: Once you’ve made the cutoffs, and frayed the edges, these studs will take maximum 20 minutes to add. Did you know embellishing could be so easy? (via
)
: We love the destroyed look of these high-waisted, high-thigh cutoffs. And the fact that they will only get better the more you wash and wear them. (via
)
: These are the best cutoffs to start with if you’ve never made a pair before. Because you cuff the hem, you can cover up any mistakes in trimming the legs. (via
