Distressed, Ripped Jeans

Caroline · 23-06-2004

I like this look but I sometimes question if it's not stupid to buy jeans that have been damaged and pay extra money.

To me it's stupid.... and somewhat tacky to pay for some company to damage my clothes.

*DrAma* · 23-06-2004

I agree. Usually when I see a person wearin ripped jeans I automatically think they are probably old and worn.

it's a bit too fake to be honest, I'd prefer a pair that were subtly distressed rather than a few rips that have been strategically placed...

it's all about personal style...some distressing looks obviously faked but others looks subtle and unique and stylish

I say you have to get the damage right...if you're going for the 'I'm a lumberjack' type look then actually throw three tins of paint over them, slash them with a stanley knife, soften them with an electric sanding disk and then drop them in a pirhana tank...don't mess around with silly little 'designer rips'...

Battered, tattered and torn to perfection. Diagonally seamed flared legs and a dirty wash complete the shabby-chic look you'll love to wear.

Ugh

Hate the cut, hate the distressing - the whole flare thing is so boring and the distress is so fake...
