Acid washed jeans / bleached jeans

I love it. I love the mineral wash jeans from American Apparel, I love the acid-wash jeans from Target, I shamelessly love acid wash. ;P Both jeans are not stiff, the Target ones fit very nicely, but the American Apparel ones are incredibly soft and comfortable. <3
 
Acid-washed jeans sounds like a throwback to the late 1980s and early 1990s. I'm usually hateful of anything '80s. Before seeing any pictures, I was imagining that this was a chance for the '80s to come back and bite us like an mosquito that has no one better to suck peoples' blood out of. I was thinking of '80s pop or early '90s pop (maybe even some rock from those times). The only acceptable acid-wash jeans (especially like the first picture from Post #1) is for painters on a lunch break or for folk that just find something to wear without even thinking about a specific look or style. If the wearer of these jeans is simply a trendy teen trying to just look... trendy, then these jeans are a bad idea. Ripped jeans are more managable as far as aging goes, but not these. The jeans from Post #9 are somewhat manageable as well. I just prefer jeans that don't look like they've been in the closet for years or treated poorly. I prefer richer denim colors than anything faded or look like painters' pants on a lunch break. The jeans from Post #9 are skinny jeans. I'd be happier with dark indigo skinny jeans with black, low-heeled, pointed toe pumps if I were a lady. Avoid these acid-wash jeans.
 
thanks John M for your opinion.

Herre's mines!!

I think Acid and White jeans are SOOO refreshing to see than dark on everybody.

And Acid is just hot and white jeans (which are harder to find) even hotterness!! whoop whoop!
 
I'm fine with the brighter blue denim jean washes... just not these acid-wash jeans. Breath of fresh air or not.
 
Agathe again in her Cheap Mondays. I almost got these last time I was in Stockholm. Now I regret not getting them. Stupid me...

I really like this trend. It's something fresh and a bit more interesting than just normal jeans. I got myself a pair of Cheap Monday Ice Wash jeans when I was in Stockholm last month. Here's me wearing them.
 
I love old + modern
Acid wash + modern fit = :clap:

Target, wow, I think I underestimate that store... I am going to check it out today! Thanks for the info/pic :)
 
I love them. They look trashy and that's what I like about them so much.
 
oh no! they remind me of those kind of jeans that are worn by teenage girls: extremly acid washed and crowns or tattoos on the butt. sooo ugly!

I was becoming receptive toward the acid-washed jeans trend until I saw Fergie and those unfortunate pants with the crowns.
I'll sit on this for a bit....
 
OMG the last couple of photos posted!! :yuk: :yuk: :yuk: I'm not a big fan of this style at ALL... BUT.. I think that it can work nicely if it's very subtle and I'd much prefer the style in a grey/black shade rather than the blue jean!
 
oooh, I :heart: the wrap/coat she is wearing in the second pic in post #1!
that is definitely up my alley!
 
I really wanted a pair of acid washed jeans last summer (after a trip to scandinavia!), but now i was thinking that im quite over about this trend... but im not sure yet, though. I cant find these jeans anywhere to buy.
but i guess it would be maybe to make them? has anybody tried it?
