Looking for new and interesting jeans styles? We will tell you about all the trends in denim fashion. And the best part is how to create fashionable jeans with your own hands.

Trendy jeans look very stylish, but at the same time fashion trousers have a significant drawback: most of them are quite expensive.

Our advice: better save your money! You can create trendy jeans yourself quickly and very simply. Now you will find out what is needed for this.

Trend #1: Ripped Hem Jeans

The must-have of the season will definitely be jeans with torn edge(Cropped Jeans). The English word cropped means cut off. Instead of floor-length and even seams along the hems, skinny, boyfriend, cuff, or ankle-length jeans have a cropped hem with thread fringe along the edge of the leg.

The great thing about this trend: you can make ripped jeans yourself. All you need is a square, chalk and scissors.

How to do it:

1. Select a pair of jeans from your wardrobe that you want to make into fashionable cut-off jeans. Our advice: better take skinny jeans skinny. They will look much more beautiful than the rest if they are cut off at the ankle.

2. Put on your jeans and draw a line with chalk at a distance of 2-3 fingers above the ankle.

3. Take off your jeans and measure the distance from the hem to the drawn line. It will be easier for you to take measurements if you hold the square so that its right angle is between the seam and the line. Draw a line at the height of the mark, parallel to the edge of the jeans.

4. Transfer the measured distance to the other leg, draw a cutting line and cut off the excess. Then release the threads from the edge. And you will have great fashionable jeans!

Trend No. 2: jeans with patches, appliqués and embroidery

Among the fashionable denim trends are jeans with appliqués, embroidery and patches. The easiest way to transform jeans is with patches. You have them lying around in your closet boring jeans or an outdated model? Great! Because jeans like boyfriend jeans or old mom jeans are ideal for decorating with patches (thermal adhesives).

Iron-on adhesives come in numerous varieties. Especially popular are stickers with comic book motifs, emoticons, inscriptions or images of animals. It is best to purchase stickers from different sets and place them randomly on the legs and pockets.

Our advice: When purchasing, pay attention to the fact that the patch is a thermal adhesive. Since there are also classic stripes that need to be sewn to the fabric manually or on sewing machine. This will take more time, but the thermal stickers just need to be ironed.

Trend #3: Ripped Jeans

Good news: they won’t go out of style in the coming seasons! If you don't have them yet, we recommend purchasing them. But instead of spending a lot of money on “broken” jeans, we suggest making them yourself - it’s quick and easy. This way you'll save money and give your old jeans a use new life. And without much effort!

On a note: Ripped jeans with large holes can also be worn in cold weather. But do not wear them on bare legs, but on tights. Tights with a lace pattern look very stylish.

We thought that it was definitely impossible to invent a bicycle on the topic of jeans, but we were deceived: judging by the street-style photographs from fashion weeks held in February and March, a certain “bicycle” was nevertheless invented and actively went to the masses - these are jeans in the classic blue with specially raw edges that make them look like the result of someone's failed attempt to hem their own jeans. The author of this model is Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia, the new creative director of Balenciaga and the head of his own brand Vetement, under whose label these jeans were released. In his idea of ​​“homemade” denim, Gvasalia was not alone - something similar with jeans, but in different styles, was created by Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Marques" Almeida and Derek Lam.

We are seriously interested in this new product: for such jeans, you can go to the store and look for an alternative from affordable brands, or you can simply make it yourself by cutting off an existing pair of a similar style and creating an artistic fringe at the cut site.

What to wear with this strange jeans model by all standards?

In this image, the very contrasting combination of doll-like feminine things - snow-white pumps, a blouse with frills and earrings in the form of flowers - with jeans that betray their “homemade” and not very noble origin at first glance is beautiful and original. In their presence lies precisely that sweet carelessness that makes the whole image relaxed, and not pedantically thought out.

With a warm sweater and shoes with heels

A cozy look for which the time will come very soon: a warm top with the expectation that spring has not yet fully come into its own, cropped jeans with the expectation of frost-resistant ankles and shoes that are resistant both in appearance and in test according to the forecast for dry weather. weather.

A great excuse to find a T-shirt with a logo in your closet that you previously used as a nightgown, and show it off - with cut-off high-waisted jeans, thereby sand trench coat and shoes with a classic gloss. The latter will just save the image from looking like a teenager’s country outfit.

Jeans are a thing that fashion has no power over. They can be neither a trend nor an anti-trend: a couple of good ones blue jeans should be in everyone's wardrobe. Regardless of the season. Choosing jeans that fit well can be quite difficult. Today we will tell you how to make jeans with fringes from an existing pair.

And although we have already said that jeans are basic item, some modifications of them are still more relevant than others. For several seasons now we have been taking a break from skinny jeans (the female half switched over faster than the male half - echoes of this fashion of the 2000s can still be found on the streets), seeing this season “mom” jeans with a high waist and ankle length, as well as various modifications of jeans in the style from the iconic French brand Vetements: as if made from two different pairs and with zippers in the most unexpected places. And also jeans with uneven hems or fringes. We will pay special attention to the latter.

Not only representatives of show business, but also many street style stars are partial to jeans with fringes, as well as to ““ denim,” who combine such a pair of jeans with both casual tops and a more elegant top. Such jeans will “play well” not only in bohemian-style outfits, but will also be an excellent addition to a casual-chic style in combination with sandals or high-heeled shoes.

Before we start shredding and magical transformation, let’s figure out which jeans are best to cut. So:

1 Try on your jeans before cutting. Make sure they fit perfectly and the leg is long enough to withstand the scissor test.

2 Inspect the jeans for stains and abrasions.

3 Carefully check the fabric composition of your jeans: you should not modify a pair if it contains elastane. Just as you shouldn’t choose jeans made from “stretchy” denim, because, despite the deceptive stretch effect, it obviously fits much worse than denim that lacks this property. Jeans (and that's what they are jeans for!) should under no circumstances pass themselves off as leggings.

Now let's move on to the modification itself. You will need: a sharp blade, a piece of soap, a thick needle, scissors and a ruler.

1 First, turn the jeans inside out and cut off the sewn edge.

2 Then, using a blade, we rip off the threads connecting the legs at the edges and separate them.

3 Using scissors, we cut off the sewn edge, and at the same time all the protruding threads (so that the fringe turns out even). Using soap and a ruler, you can mark the desired edge, beyond which there will be no fringe.

4 Using a thick needle, pull out all the horizontal threads from the fabric.

5 On top of the fringe, to secure it, we make one or two thin lines.

Ready! And finally, we invite you to look at successful fashionable images, the basis of which is just jeans with fringe:

Additionally, it must be secured with a finishing stitch into the seam. At a distance of 2 mm you can make a contrasting line or to match the jeans using sewing machine.
