Tutorial: Distressed jeans

"A pair of jeans should be a part of you, through all the victories and getaways. They should know you better than you know yourself, and only improve every time you wear them. With every scratch, mark and hole they should tell it like it is. That this is your life, and you are the master of your own destiny. You're not a lamb, you're a lion. So make your mark and let it show." - Outfitters Nation

When the lovely people of Outfitters Nation told me about their new campaign, I was immediately excited. It's called "Make Your Mark", and it's all about jeans and the way you can leave your adventures and experiences on them. All the jeans of the collection have a sandpaper attached, so that you can customize them in the way you want. I wanted to rip ánd bleach them (over-the-top, soooo totally me haha), but I couldn't find bleach anywhere in the house, so a DIY of a bleached jeans is still in the planning.

Sooo... HOW DO WE START?

Step 1 Buy a Outfitters Nation jeans here. I really recommend them , by the way. I've never worn such comfortable jeans (honestly).

Step 2 Choose the places you want to look pale and rub with sandpaper on those places (only horizontally, then there will be no hole but only a faded look)

Step 3 Choose the places in the pale areas you want to have ripped. On those places, you have to rub horizontally ánd vertically on the jeans. If you want to make holes, you obviously have to rub harder (or even pull the hole apart with your hands, like I did).

Step 4 And don't forget the edges of the pockets! It creates such a real distressed look.

Step 5 Almost done...

Step 6 Remove the fluff from the jeans (and clean your room, because probably everywhere will be substance)

Step 7 Done! To create a I-don't-care look, you can roll up the pipes.
