Mercury is rising…and so are the hemlines. It's time
to shed those extra layers for pieces that don't quite feel like a
fabric sweatbox. Our go-to summer staple? Jean shorts.
Unfortunately,
finding flattering jorts can be as difficult as searching for your
favorite pair of denim pants. Don't induce one more worry wrinkle—we
have a genius solution, courtesy of celebrity stylist Lindsay Albanese.
Using a pair of old blues, the E! Style Collective member showed us how
to create designer-looking jean shorts she already knows will flatter
and fit her body.

1. Put on a pair of old jeans you're
willing to cut. Opt for thicker denim; if the fabric is too thin, the
jean shorts will be tight and hug your thighs. Using a fabric pen or
regular pencil, draw a line two inches longer than where you'll like the
shorts to ideally end.
2. Take
off the jeans and lay them out flat on the floor. Optional: Iron the
jeans beforehand to ensure a flat surface. Cut along the pencil-drawn
line.
3. Fold the jeans in half, aligning
the waistband and side hems. Make sure that all sides match up or else
the cut will be uneven. Take the scissors and cut along the previous cut
edge.
4. Once your pants are
cut, throw the shorts in the dryer so that the cut edges naturally fray.
You can also roll the shorts to your desired length.
Voilà! Now you have comfortable jean shorts you can live in all summer long.
