Back in the 90s when I was growing up, ripped jeans were all the rage. I watched as my sisters tried to poke holes and tear their jeans purposely with the full intention of having a tear that looks genuinely authentic. I thought being able to pull off such a look meant you were cooler than the rest and I wished then, that I would grow up quicker so I could hopefully be half as cool.
Now that I am grown up and a lot wiser, I do not want to grow older so quickly and neither do I think extremely ripped jeans of yesteryears are cool anymore. That said, I do love vintage looks and I think certain faded and distressed jeans can look quite casual chic.
I am drawn to this pair from 7 For All Mankind. I think it's the classic straight leg design with the right amount of distressing that is giving me desire bumps. I love the casual, laid back vibe radiating from this pair.
The ripped pockets and front legs give this a nonchalant yet gathered feel that would be perfect in weekends and lazy days. They will look good with tees and casual shirts alike, with flip flops and sneakers.
This definitely looks like a pair I can grow and live in. Now if only they had my size! Get this for US$220 at Tobi.
