Great Fashion idea for salvaging old pants: Have them turned into shorts by taking them to an alteration shop. This can be cheaper than buying new shorts and keep you from getting rid of old cuts/styles of pants wastefully. Usually this type of alteration will cost between $15 and $20 per pair of pants but will depend solely on where you choose to have it done. If you know someone who is confident behind a sewing machine then the cost could be completely negligible. Shop around to find the best rate in your area because it can add up fast if you're doing multiple pairs at a time, which is what I recommend. Either way, this this simple idea is much cheaper than buying all new shorts for summer. I'll post a few pictures to show before and after for the 5 pairs of pants I recently converted.
