DIY Denim

Ever since Julia Fox stepped out in Los Angeles in a tiny denim tube top and low-cut jeans in March 2022, many people have been wondering where she bought the outfit.

She revealed on her Instagram that she made the outfit herself.

“It makes for a really cute set and it’s easy and, honestly, now that latex is kind of played out. Denim, you’re all I have left,” said Fox in her Instagram caption.

The materials needed are simple — scissors, a sharpie, a tape measure, and your least favorite pair of jeans.

While Fox’s DIY ensemble shocked the public at first, it made waves throughout social media with many other influencers and viewers taking their own approach to the outfit, such as myself.

I made the outfit in about 15 minutes with an old pair of jeans I already had.

I did not think I would be able to make an outfit out of a pair of jeans, but it was easier than I had originally expected and looked great.

 

Instructions

  1. Find any pair of jeans that you do not mind cutting. High-waisted jeans work best, as the top of them will be cut off.
  2. Use a ruler to measure six inches from the top of the jeans and mark the six-inch spot with a marker.
  3. Use scissors to cut from the line you made.
  4. The piece you cut off can now be used as a tube top, and the rest that is left are your bottoms.
  5. Now you have a trendy denim outfit that you made yourself.
Tip: make sure to measure your desired length of top and the rise of your jeans before beginning the project.
