How many of you have had someone tell you to get a new pair of jeans whenever you’re wearing your absolute favorite pair, which happens to have a slit or two somewhere along the pants? I know I’ve heard it many, many times. I have jeans with slits on the knees, thighs and even right under the back pockets! Fashion is ever evolving and sometimes even wearing a pair of ripped jeans can add a completely edgy feel to your casual outfit. Although it seems like we hear those comments from people much older than us, jeans with slits and rips in them have been a fashion staple for many years. For example, in the ’80s, many heavy metal rockers were rocking that style and in the ’90s, grunge was in and a pair of ripped/distressed jeans was a necessity!
Here we are in 2016, where this Fashionista is wearing her simple, high-waisted jeans, with the added slits for an edgier look. Along with the jeans, this Fashionista added a lace-up top (which was a big hit in fashion for 2016!), a buckle belt and these black boots! It’s a perfect outfit for going to class, the movies or even a date if you throw on a sophisticated blazer or suede jacket. But, really those jeans are what help make and hold together her outfit.
Ripped jeans might never go out of style at this point, so try to add a pair of black or blue ones into your wardrobe this coming up year. Regardless what your grandparents say, ripped knees are totally cool!
