Question about the fraying of the jeans

[wxyx3]

I was wondering what do you jean lovers do when the back of your jeans start to fray and get that inverted horse shoe kinda shape from stepping on jeans all the time because the jeans are too long? Is there any way to prevent this because in my opinion, it looks so disgusting...

[Jetta]

Have your jeans hemmed so they arent too long, cuff them or tuck them in your shoes.

I actually use those small black triangular clips to clip the bottom from the inside. Just fold over about 1cm or so and clip. It's cheap but it works and no one notices.

[Guest jeffvyain]

just buy jeans that are too skinny to fit over your shoes...easy fix

[Landy]

^ some people, like myself, don't like how that looks.

i dont like how so many distressed jeans have the frayed hems in the back. thats the first part of the jeans to go, they'll be wrecked before youve even broken your jeans in yet. i like a little distressing on the pockets and whatever, but the hems should be left alone, those will fray soon enough naturally. its just friggin dumb.

also, i think i read on here that some people starch the hems and wrinkle them up, this will make them hang shorter

i personally just love the hems beeing destroyed.just adds to that vitnage look.and personally i like buying jeans that are little to long than short.thats why i always buy levis in l34 coz l32 isnt he right,well it just touches the ground when im without shoes,and i think that's to short.

eventually the hems will get frayed and i can cut them off,and it looks great on chucks or some white sneakers!

They are referring to spray starch such as Niagara. Some people spray it on the the front of their jeans and behind the knees to hold in the creases.
