How do you add fringe to jeans?

If you're used to reading us, you probably know that at Tilli's, we love fringes, whatever they are! So we couldn't not devote an entire article to them.

Today, let's pay homage to fringes and
learn how to fashion them on our denims in the most authentic to the most original way.

How do you make fringes on the bottom of your jeans?

If you want to make beautiful fringes on the bottom of your Trousers, you'll need to cut the hem. Measure beforehand where you want the fringes to start so you don't cut your jeans too short.

Then, using a seam ripper, cut the side seam of your jeans to the desired height.

Finally, using a needle or tweezers, you can
effiloate the bottom of your Trousers by removing the white threads that make up the weave one by one.

Here,
patience will be the key word.

You'll continue until you get the fringe length you want!

Making fringe holes in your jeans

For the fringes on the legs, you'll need to make holes if there aren't any already!

Rather than a neat hole cut with scissors, make a thin cut and then arrange to
crack the fabric. The result will then be more authentic.

Then, in the way suggested above, you'll fetch the threads using your tweezers or a needle.

Pretty quick and
super stylish!

Fringes in all their forms

For the sake of style, we wanted to show you that you can also think outside the box and come up with original fringes.

They'll require more work but they'll bring
a unique style to your denim.

This is the case, for example, with
famous sequin fringes from Balmain.

Now imagine
beaded fringes and fringes in completely crazy fabrics: sheer, leather, fur, wool...

The possibilities are
infinite!

If you're tempted,
you should have a word with one of our Tillistes. Their imagination is overflowing and their talent is up to scratch! They're sure to be able to wow you with a mind-blowing idea.

So, which fringes are you going to try out on your denim?
We're keen to do
something unique, like pearl fringes all over the bottom of our jeans. With Swarovski pearls, the look will be magical.
