Do it yourself :  How to slash your leggings at home
 

Step 1: Fold leggings over so the legs line up.  Make sure the bottoms are level and that the side seams are the on the far edges while leggings are flat.  If you have to stretch a little to get there, do it.
 

Step 2: Holding on to the side seams, pull the outside edges under to meet in the middle.  Turn over so the fold is facing away from you.  Now you’re ready to cut!
 

Step 3: Starting at the bottom, maybe an inch from the hem, start with a SMALL cut.  This is crucial – the holes will stretch when you put the leggings on, so start very conservative. 
 

Step 4: Make the cuts about 2 inches apart.  More or less is fine, depending on your preferences.  Just remember to stop (at least) 4 inches below the crotch, unless you’re going for the ass-less pants look.
