DIY Supershorts

[insomaniac]

for girls i think its possible to pull off almost any length. unlike for men. so i guess slowly keep cutting the jeans shorter and shorter and stop wherever you're happy. whichever looks fobbiest for your waywt

that's right, i have to prepare my outfit

[simcoo]

if you just cut it like that

the edge starts to fray after awhile

irritates the hell out of me

the little strands sticking out

That's why you double cuff that shit, looks a hell of a lot tighter unless you're going for the inevitable grunge revival look which will no doubt come along soon.

IMO! Those at the same time are kind of cool but also kind of odd. I like it. I know i can pull of the shorts...but the suspenders, i might put those back in the closet. But it works well on this person.

i own a few pair that are quasi-slut-level short (but of course i always dress them down), and the sorta 'in' length which is mid thingh. but those are all fashion pants, not denim.

the pair of denim i want to chop chop is black, one wash. i guess i might just follow the boy suggestions and cut it at knee length and double cuff it.

I see a lot of girls cut their jeans off way short and then wear leggings underneath, and I think it works pretty well. But if you're looking to cut off some serious denim, I guess cutting it a little longer would be more appropriate. It would suck to see $200 worth of chopped off jeans legs on the floor.

Supergay. OMG you have nice calves. Hahahhaha

they aren't japanese selvage denim or anything super nice, but i think they are perfect weight for summer and i thought the color and look of the denim would work well as shorts.

Also, the denim is broken twill, which i actually think look better for making cut-offs than a directional twill denim would.

hemmed some wool pants into these... they aren't bad... i dont think i like the length though

My, those Denimbirds (?) look killer. Slim, but with enough slouch.

yeah, they are denimbirds. they were the birds straight model.. i think the cut/fit was pretty much ideal for me for making into shorts.

"Denim shorts" is an oxymoron. Can we get some real clothes in here? Think America's Cup / the yachting sect, only with a modern cut/fit.

[knucks]

I think slim jeans cut into shorts look awful...

Then why'd you resurrect it to state the obvious?
