Though cutting jeans can seem intimidating, it's totally doable if you follow a few easy steps.
First, you'll want to try your jeans on. Fold the hem of one leg underneath and safety pin it to your desired length. You can try styling it with other pieces and different types of shoes to make sure you truly like the length.
Once it's pinned, take the jeans off and lay them on a flat surface. Grab another pin or fabric chalk to mark the desired length. Then, it's time for the big chop. Fabric scissors will get you a cleaner cut, but any sharp pair of shears will work. Just cut straight across the line you've marked, and the first leg is done.
Now, fold your jeans in half, so the freshly cut leg is on top of the other. Take your pin or chalk, and use the first leg length as a guide for your second. Once you've marked the second leg, cut it straight across.
