When I was young, a hole in my shirt or pants meant that I could no longer wear it anymore. So something new was bought to replace the torn piece. Fast forward to today and instead of throwing torn pieces out, we pay money to actually have our clothes torn, shredded and cut. From jeans to shorts to sweaters.
I like it when clothes don't look too pristine or proper. So I actually welcome torn, destroyed pieces. Done, of course, with restrain and a trained eye. I tried making my own destroyed jeans with a couple of spare G-Star jeans that I had lying around and let's just say, that it's harder than it looks. Instead of cool frayed seams, I ended up with stencil-shaped holes. It was the end of my DIY phase.
I digress. This grey cut out sweater with its destroyed and frayed holes not only look cool, they look deliberate and detailed. Which in itself is a fantastic amalgamation. Wear this with jeans for a downtown chic look or dress it up with pants and polished shoes for an unexpected play on texture and contrast. And of course, loads of individual attitude.
