Well, I don't have any, but cut it and make the little strings stick out and it makes it look cute and ripped up and stuff.

One of the most important things is to not cut to much at first. Try them on when you think they are a bit long. (If you don't do this you might end up with way to short shorts) :)

I would suggest cutting at an angle and then cutting more after that to accommodate your preference. Puttin the jeans on and taking an old eyeliner and marking where you want to cut helps too.

Make sure for starters that they arent too tight around the thighs like skinny jeans don't work haha! but I used bleach and dip dyed them, also the rips (used to be better its pretty worn now) I cut two parallel horizontal lines and used tweezers or an unpicker to pick out all the vertical thread and it leaves the horizontal ones. and I just used the blade of the scissors to make the edges look rough. but youtube it, it's easier than me trying to explain😂

I was also going to put a patterned material underneath the rips but haven't gotten around to it haha.
