This is how to style patched, ripped jeans

Patched and Ripped jeans have always caught the fancy of fashionistas, film stars and the fashion world alike.

There’s something rugged and sexy about frayed and ripped jeans, especially when someone can carry it off the right way.

The current fashion trends have seen actors and superstars set benchmarks when it comes to fashion off the streets, with young college goers aping their style statements.

The history of ripped jeans dates back to the bands of the 1960s and 70s. I remember Back when I was in high school, destroyed and patched denim were very popular, the more holes and rips your jeans had, the better!

I wore most of my ripped denim with literally everything, and couldn’t imagine the day when I had to wear jeans that weren’t tattered and ripped up.

 

Fast forward to present day and ripped and patched jeans are making a comeback.

This clothing item has a super casual feel, and it can be hard to make it look put-together and polished.

But it’s definitely not impossible! In fact, when styled correctly, destroyed denim looks street-chic and cool. You just have to know what to pair it with so that it looks less grungy and more chic and stylish.

 

Here are style tips on how to wear distressed denim that will make you want to start putting holes in all of your jeans.
