How to Make Your Jeans Look Worn

Add mud for an authentic look.

Put your jeans in the washer on a normal cycle. Run them through the dryer, as well. This will help to loosen and fray the material around your damage. Try the jeans on and see if you want to wear them down more. If you want more wear & tear, repeat these steps. You can rub in dirt or use paint splatters to enhance the look.

Worn jeans look great with a belt made of neck ties.
