I was bored of wearing the same black jeans and decided to do my own version of DIY zip-up jeans, the carrot-top (haremish?) style is quite in atm so I made ones kinda inspired by punk and vivienne westood but a lot more subtle and wearable.
kinda like these
1. First pin the zips the secure to the jeans like so, don't have them straight but going out at the end because you want to gather less fabric in the wider part of your leg in the calf.
2. Try them on and once you are happy with the effect sew the zips into place.
3. Once you are done on both legs, zip the zips up and you are pretty much done unless you want to turn up the funny legs as it does result in a leg flare, I used safety pins to keep them in place.
4. Here you are some zip-up jeans that you can zip according to the effect you want (balance out tight calves and baggy thighs)
