If you're looking for an edgier look, you can fray the bottom of your jeans. You'll start by using the same method as the clean cut, making sure that your jeans are at your desired new length and the leg length is even.
Once you've cut both legs, you'll want to pull out a couple loose strings. You can do this with your fingers or a pair of tweezers. Once you've pulled out a couple, grab a fork and start to run the edges horizontally across the bottom of the pants — pulling out more white frays.
As you see more white, start to pull out those frays with your fork vertically, elongating the frays to make them look more distressed. Keep doing this until you've got your desired frayed look, and do the same on the other leg.
The nice thing about the edgy, distressed look is that it doesn't have to be clean. You can keep pulling out those frays until you're happy with the final look.
