| Trekked out to the Tyson's mall today and saw a number of mom-type women wearing these ripped, old looking jeans. Is that a thing now? I haven't seen it in our capitol hill neighborhood, but maybe I was just paying more attention than usual since I happened to be clothes shopping myself. Does this look work for people? It did not look great on the women I saw, but perhaps they hadn't put it together the right way... |

| I'm a guy and I'm noticing it more on all sorts of women. It's OK but just seems a little odd. It makes more sense when the jeans seem worn out and the rips natural. Like plain old worn out jean. Much of what I see these days are what look like new jeans that have holes cut in them -- weird. |

| They're trashy and don't look good on anyone. Thankfully I'm mostly seeing them on teenage girls. |

There's an old navy commercial with JLD about their new line of distressed jeans for $15...with holes in random places.
My two cents: once you hit 28, you must stop dressing like a teenager. |

A friendly, classically fashionable French woman once suggested to me that ripped jeans are...juvenile and that few outside of fashion victim type Americans over the age of 21 wear them.
I admit that they have appealed to me on occasion but that sensible voice has held me in check. I might wear them to a clambake but that's about it. |

+1 I thought that look died in the 90's, back when some kids were trying to dress like grungy Seattle rockers. |

| I'm 32 and wear them almost daily. They're super hot right now. |

I love them but after seeing them everywhere lately I wonder if they are getting cliche. Agree that it's better if the holes are worn in over time. Maybe I should lend them to my DS to wear holes in the knees

No sweetie, they are really not. Unless you mean among your ex-"dancer" friends. |

You're 32, Paris. It's time to stop calling things "hot" unless you're talking about the weather, your soup or a radioactive spill. |

| Well, I just bought a pair of "distressed" jeans (no completely open holes) and I'm 40. I guess I'll be "dancing" over with Paris while the old biddies clutch their pearls and murmur about how their lands end ponte dresses are the only way to go. |

Ripped jeans are hot, trendy, and very expensive: https://www.net-a-porter.com/gb/en/d/Shop/Clothing/Jeans?cm_sp=topnav-_-clothing-_-jeans&pn=1&npp=60&image_view=product&dScroll=0 |
