00:07Unless you're built like a mannequin, chances are slim fit jeans or skinny jeans are not going to be the
00:12perfect length for you right off the rack.
00:14For me personally, perfect is one inch of ankle between the bottom of your jeans and the top of your
00:21shoes.
00:21One of my personal pet peeves is when the circumference of your pants and the circumference of your shoes are
00:26exactly the same and you end up with manicotti legs.
00:29So I actually have a trick that quickly hems your pants for you that's really, really on trend and you
00:34can do it for yourself with just a pair of scissors.
00:37The hem is called the mullet hem because it's shorter in the front and a little longer in the back.
00:40To make sure you have the right cut, put your pants on with the shoes you're going to be wearing
00:45them with.
00:46Then mark where that inch spot is. Take your pants off and then make that first cut.
00:53This might take you a couple of tries to get right, but remember you can always cut shorter.
00:58You can't cut longer, so be careful.
01:01And then you're going to measure one inch from the back and you want to cut that.
01:06Pull some of these threads out or you can even throw them in the wash.
01:10It creates a really nice fray if you do that, but I kind of like the way this looks right
01:13here.
01:13And now do it to the other side and you're done.
01:16So you're going to end up with pants that look kind of like a mistake.
01:19Shorter in the front and longer in the back.
01:21Then when you put them on, this is what they're supposed to be.
01:23So you get a little flash of ankle in the front, but in the back it looks like a normal
01:27skinny jeans.
01:28So that's it. That's the mullet hem.
01:30It's how you make an off-the-rack pair of skinny jeans feel just a little bit more special.
