Today I saw on the Forever 21 twitter that this fall is going to be full of uber-destroyed jeans. We’re talking ripped, grated, bleached, painted, dyed — the works.
Exhibit A:
Now THAT is what I call destruction. I’ve rocked the old Abercrombie and Fitch ripped jean look, but this is taking things to a whole different dimension. But I think I kind of like it.
The trendy, American-Apparel look is trading the minimalistic hipster vibe (we’re talking tight pants and low-cut V’s) for a funkier, edgier approach (super-destroyed jeans and leather…lots of leather). We shall call this…rugged-chic?
I don’t know about you, but I think the rips can be subtly sexy. It certainly kicks the solid, boring denim up a notch.
This trend is really going to be huge. I’ve seen the hottness at Forever 21, Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters already…and it’s only September. But if you don’t feel like shelling out the dough for a whole new denim wardrobe, don’t sweat it. Pull out the bleach and scissors and make yourself a pair. Let’s just hope this never goes out of style
