Just recently I bought a pair of jeans for a very good price but they were too long and I didn't want to pay someone to hem them. So I just cut them to the right length, no stitching, laundered them and they came out of my dryer looking great. All I had to do is snip off a few long threads hanging from the raw edge. Updated and I love them that way.
It's actually a bit difficult to fray a hem and make it look decent. Unraveling each of the fibers in an organized fashion takes a bit of skill and time. It's not the same as just a raw edge.
ETA-
Forgot to mention that I applied a small line of Liquid Stitch on the inside, just above the raw edge, so that will prevent further fraying.

They're a fun trend. I wouldn't invest too much money in a pair since like all trends this too shall pass. If there's a cute pair at what a consider a good price, why not.

@Caaareful Shopper I do as well. I have a few jeans, shorts and jackets with the frayed hemlines and love them. I think it is a nice fresh look and something different to wear.

Wore the denim like that in the old days, doing it myself. I liked it because it was naturally frayed from wear, and then you cut it yourself. I wouldnt want to pay for poser denim.
I do not like the boucle jackets with that look either. I feel it cheapens the look.

@bargainsgirl I don't like them. I made the mistake of purchasing a pair of LOGO unhemmed jeans...what a mess. I had to turn the hem under and sew down, I constantly had threads hanging. NEVER AGAIN.

I was probably the inventor of frayed hemlines! Back in the 70's I took down the hems of all of my jeans. I'm tall and that was my solution. Sure I wear frayed hems now. Why wouldn't I?

I like them for a change. I have a friend that is a tailor and she frayed a pair for me. I bought them at a resale shop. Not a lot of money invested and fun way to wear them.
