Pinterest and other social networking sites have offered new ways to dress up your boring jean shorts. I have always found it hard to pick out jean shorts that fit me perfectly, are the right color and wash and will last me a long time before I grow out of them. Thankfully, there are new ideas online that will help you transform your jean shorts into a work of art.
Take an old pair of your jeans such as your Dad’s jeans, or buy a pair of jeans that you can play around with. Buy accessories that will dress up your jeans, such as gems, glitter, fabric, spikes or bleach. With the right scissors, glue and tools you can transform your dad’s jeans into the most fashionable pair of shorts you have ever owned.
These jean shorts will allow you to feel trendy and accomplished because you made them yourself. There are many websites and instructions online that will guide you through the process of decorating your own pair of shorts. You don’t have to be a fashion designer to transform your denim into a fashion statement.
