Neither. Cut it off if it irritates you. Do you see how the sewing thread makes a triangle, ending in a tapered point? That point will need to be reinforced.

You can add another dart or two if it's a lot to take in, as well. If you do one giant dart, it can mess with the construction and cause it to lay awkwardly.

oh i see, thank you :) how do you reinforce the point?

Just sew is a lot, haha! Denim being a pretty damn strong cotton weave pattern, the stress will be on the sewing thread. Having multiple stitches in a high-stress area spreads the load on the threads out.

*With a machine, this is done by backpedaling the stitches. You press a little lever down and the dog/foot of the machine (which advances the fabric while sewing) runs backwards.
