Methods For Fraying Denim Shorts’ Bottoms?

Fraying jeans shorts is a simple and stylish way to transform denim into stylish statement pieces. To create trendy frayed shorts, lay the shorts on a flat surface, use sandpaper and rub along the bottom for softer fraying, or run a razor blade along the bottom for more distressed fraying. For an evenly frayed pair of shorts, apply the same amount of pressure all across the bottom.

To create a distressed look, use scissors, hands, loofah, or a razor. Follow tips from celebrity stylist Mickey Freeman and Lee Female director Nicola Mielke to achieve the desired frayed look. To fray the edges of your shorts, grab a disposable shaving razor and place it flat down on them. Cut the bottom of the shorts, mark the desired fraying line with a pen, and use tweezers to pull out the threads. Wet the shorts in the washing machine and dry them to start the fraying process.

For a faster fraying process, start pulling horizontal threads. If you already have denim shorts at home, you can make your own trendy frayed shorts by cutting them to the right length and fraying the bottom until you get your desired look.
