Actual men's jeans have too long a rise for me; it looks silly. I've considered cutting pockets off a second pair to sew cheat, but that feels even siller. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-700131 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:49:32 +0000 cinnamon fern 700131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like seeing the pocket but I think it helps the look for the front to be that short. (Would especially help on someone without her long legs.) I've been thinking of thrifting a pair of jeans to try this with, and shortening the pockets while I'm at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699986 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 06:56:34 +0000 Kate 699986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never purposely tried to create a dangling pocket effect when chopping off jeans to make shorts; it was just a potential hazard to be avoided if possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699937 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 03:36:18 +0000 MsMary 699937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she looks great, but I also think it's because she is just. that. cute. The cutoffs are kind of incidental. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699933 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 03:28:45 +0000 catgirl 699933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA! I forgot about the exposed pocket poison eye around here. I'm not a fan either, which is why this surprised me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699899 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:57:30 +0000 Echo 699899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that I am not fond of the pockets hanging out. I think the shorts would have been fine without cutting the extra piece off the front to make the pockets show... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699897 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:55:19 +0000 Anonymous 699897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found the workaround on the tight leg issue. Men's jeans as inspired by Aida. I'm knee deep in a project involving making shorts out of my fiancée's old jeans. I will report back.</p> <p>Yes, I hate the exposed pocket too... . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699891 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:49:50 +0000 Jonesy 699891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have a deep, irrational hatred of the pockets hanging out look. I don't care for the angled look either. I like a regular ol' pair of baggy cut-offs. I guess I'm just a party pooper :(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699869 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:08:01 +0000 Diana 699869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so first off I have to say that I have such a poisoned eye for those dangling pocket bottoms. HATE it. </p> <p>That said, I do like that she used jeans that are wide in the thigh. I think that is the key. It's why I can never make shorts out of my old jeans - my new BF jeans aside, all of my jeans are fitted in the thighs, which I like for pants but I prefer my shorts to be loose in the thigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699860 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 01:52:09 +0000 Anonymous 699860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's something cheeky about the angled legs. I'm not loving the pocket bottoms hanging out but see it a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-glamourai-diy-cutoffs#post-699858 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 01:47:24 +0000 catgirl 699858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the secret in the angle she gave the front of the legs? Or just that she's gorgeous? I'm not into denim on denim, but I love this look.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theglamourai.com/2012/07/diy-denim-cut-offs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theglamourai.com/20.....-offs.html</a> </p>
