How to Cut Your Skinnies at the Ankle Part
- 1). Put on your skinny jeans and decide where you want to cut them. It might help to stand in front of a mirror while you decide.
- 2). Mark a line on one ankle of the pants with chalk at the length you want to make the cut.
- 3). Take the pants off, then fold right along the chalk line on the leg you marked. Make sure your fold is even.
- 4). Use an iron to flatten the fold so that it looks crisp and is easily visible.
- 5). Cut off the ankle of the pant leg about a half inch below the crease.
- 6). Line up the cut pant leg on top of the other leg, then carefully cut the ankle of the second leg to match the first one.
- 7). Wash the skinny jeans if you want to encourage them to fray around the ankles. You might have to pick at the threads at the bottom to loosen them and then wash them a second time to get them really frayed.
- 8). Fold up the ankles of each pant leg once or twice if you like the rolled up look instead.
