So i recently thrifted the jeans in the first photo. I thought htwy were so cute, and i was looking for jeans that fit exactly like that, but I never wear blue, so I dyed them black. After dying, they went from looking cute to frumpy on me. What can I do to save them??

I'm thinking maybe if i somehow replicate the wear/weathering that the old pair had then it will save it?
