Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Jean boots are officially on trend and we’ve got the details on how to make a pair of your own.

We saw Kim Kardashian rock a pair of the covetable Yeezy denim boots this summer and all drooled over the Rihanna & Manolo Blahnik waist-high denim creations. Now women are taking the trend into their own hands. Using old jeans and shoes, these creative ladies have been able to deliver a boot season remix of epic proportions.

The new trend is taking over Instagram and Youtube and we’re here for it.

Whether super distressed or a classic denim look, you’re sure to see these style everywhere this fall.

Since I became infatuated with the jean boot I decided to design my own. I didn't have a pair of boots to start with so instead I used a pair of pumps. #jeanboots #designer #artist #fashion #icandoanything

Luckily for us there’s a little thing called Youtube and it’s a major key when you want to get a little creative. This first video by vlogger Roxy J, gives a step-by-step look at how to take an old pair of ankle boots and jeans to another level.

 

 

Another way to try out the trend is to take old pumps and a pair of old jeans to give a little extra flair to the look. Check out Leah Vixamar’s rendition below.

 

 

Who knew a glue gun and an old pair of jeans could go this far?
