I never mind modifying my clothes to make them fit me the way I am envisioning it and the way I think would be the most ideal. I modifying one of my favorite pairs of jeans by cutting slits on the sides and I really loved how it turned out.
The pair of jeans from 7 For All Mankind I am wearing is one of my favorite pairs. They fit so well and they are the perfect length for me. I decided to cut slits at the bottoms of that pair myself to try it out as it has been trending. Carefully cut the thread along the seams to about half of the length of your calf (I would not go more than that) and you cou sew the ends so that it doesn’t continue to open. This could be a step that you can skip if you want to (who has time for that anyway). Try the pants on and see if you like the results - adjust as you would like!
Let me know if this was helpful and if you try it! Would love to see the results!
