Okay I really love distressed jeans and especially boyfriend jeans, but I could never find boyfriend jeans to fit me because I'm a bit curvy. Also most boyfriend jeans are just baggy girls jeans and girl jeans just never seem to fit me right with my huge butt and thighs with smaller waist. They always are made the opposite of how my figure is with no thigh room, butt room for practically pancakes, then the waist having a three inch gap away from my body. So, to solve this problem, I stole my dad's old Levi jeans. Yes, I stole my dad's jeans, distressed them too so he won't be getting those back oops. You've probably seen pictures on my OOTD because I probably wear them at least twice a week and they're titled "distressed pants - Levi(they're my dad's old jeans that I distressed myself)"(I recently changed the caption to just "jeans - Levi's" because typing the first one out all the time was annoying). Although I do not want to promote you stealing your dad's jeans, I do suggest going thrifting in the men's section(the men's section in thrift stores and just clothing stores in general are a whole other blog), but I've really been into just thrifting cheap men's jeans then distressing them myself. You can get name brand jeans like Levi's, Calvin Klein, True Religion, etc for super cheap. I just got these Calvin Klein jeans at Saver's for I think $8 and they're in really good condition.

Anyways, why pay full price for jeans you're going to distress anyway, like what if you mess up or something and end up hating the final product, at least you didn't pay over a hundred dollars for jeans you'll never wear right? But yeah, got these Calvin Klein jeans and as soon as I got them I knew. I knew they wanted me to to the hole under the butt thing(refer to image to the left). So, that is one of my side projects right now is distressing these jeans to how I like them.
To distress jeans if you don't know how, you can a sanding tool to wear them out, a cheese grader, nail files, pretty much anything with a rough surface to get that initial roughed up look. Now if you want to learn how to do the whole white thread going horizontal holes,
I'm going to leave a link to some helpful videos I found on YouTube that helped me figure it out
