the other Fashion Expert

Buy a pair of high waisted jeans at your local thrift store for super cheap (I got mine for $1.50!) Make sure they fit snug around your waist and are NOT hip huggers. It doesn’t matter if they are too short, you are about to cut them!

Next is the cutting, make sure to measure at least 3 inches so they are not to short. If you plan to fold the bottom fringe up a time or two, keep the length even longer!1 2

the stylesto go for the straight edged look, in case fringe is your thing, cut your jeans higher

If you have decided you would rather roll your new high-waisted shorts once or twice then cut lower down on the jean. (as seen in bottom right picure)

For those who has a nice body and aren’t afraid to show it, cut you shorts at more of an angle so it will have a nice curve on the side to show the top of those sexy legs! (example of this on the cover)

Why we are obsessed with high-waisted jean shortsespecially those who have smaller waist than they do hips. The nice thing about these shorts too is that they aren’t super tight and revealing. They are shorts that can be fashionable as well as modest and that is very hard to come by nowadays! So whether you are looking to show off your hippie side or dress in a more fashionable but modest way, hopefully this DYI helps your own cheap new favorite pair of blue jean shorts!

The great thing about high-waisted shorts is that they really can be a timeless look if you are able to get authentic blue jeans. You don’t always have to be a bohemian goddess when sporting these. As the beautiful Tori is showing here, high-waisted shorts can be dressed up as well. With a pair of wedges, a pretty shirt and some lace, these shorts are ready for a more formal setting. For some body types, high-waisted shorts are a more flattering style,
