Vintage Denim Done at Home

While some trends are worth investing in, some are not. This season's "vintage worn" denim look is one that can be easily replicated at home without spending a lot of money.

Stop by your local hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowes and pick up sand paper. All you need to do is rub the sandpaper on areas that you want to have that worn look and you are ready to go. If you want to take the worn look further and go for an authentic "tear" look, grab a cheese grater and vigorously rub where you want the tear to appear.

Here's an example of the vintage denim look
