This style of jeans can be found at Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, Nasty Gal, and many other stores. But for those of you who like to get crafty, there are many ways that you can distress your own jeans!
First things first, find a pair of jeans that you are willing to destroy. Don't pick your favorite skinny jeans that you wear every weekend. If you're going for the boyfriend style, ask your mom for an old pair of jeans or stop by a nearby thrift shop.
There are a variety of tools you can use to distress your jeans; scissors, a razor, sand-paper, tweezers, etc. I found scissors and sand paper to be the easiest.
If you decide to choose my method, use the scissors to cut slits in the jeans wherever you want the holes to be. Then take the sand paper and rub vigorously over those areas. This should begin to take off the top layer of denim, revealing the white layer beneath. After a while of rubbing, mess around with the fabric and pull at the strings to get rid of as much blue as you can.
When you're finished with the scissors and sandpaper, put the jeans in washer and dryer to remove any loose strings. This will also give it a more distressed look.
There are tons of tutorials online that show different methods to distress jeans. Here are a few:
Here's what my distressed boyfriend jeans look like on! I paired them with black combats, a plain black tee, and a flannel.
