I do like the juxtaposition of worn/distressed jeans with more polished pieces. That, to me, is the way to wear them at my age (50). One of my "uniforms" is distressed jeans/boyfriends with a black top or tee and dark flats (in warm weather) or booties (in colder weather). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534572 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 12:20:56 +0000 Anonymous 1534572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a pair and the ripped in the store. I then tried on another pair and they *almost* ripped in the store.<br /> I just don't think they're durable enough for me.<br /> Love the look of a bit of distressing though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534566 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 11:51:49 +0000 Janet 1534566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of heavily torn jeans, but I like all styles of denim. I love faded washes but it seems not many of them actually look good on me, with my hips and thighs. I look better in dark wash jeans but they look dressier -- so I often sacrifice some of my style wishes for a little more flattery. </p> <p>I agree that the market is totally over saturated with ripped jeans. Skinnies too. I feel like seriously distresses jeans will start looking dated in the next couple of years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534546 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 11:04:25 +0000 kkards 1534546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm with cheryle, i love all washes, i have dark, distressed, and added light washed earlier this year…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534543 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 10:59:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1534543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean towards a more polished look (I had trouble adopting the partial tuck because it wasn't perfect) but did buy a pair of skinny distressed jeans in a very faded denim last year and wore them for more casual outings. &nbsp;I didn't buy them because they were distressed but because they fit really well and I thought looked good so it was a way to dip my toe in without plunging into the distressed pool. &nbsp;</p> <p>I do like all washes for jeans and have some faded and some darker wash. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534526 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 10:23:15 +0000 Style Fan 1534526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love faded denim, love torn and distressed denim.&nbsp; I laughed at what Lisa called dark denim --- "Office Jeans" -- because I wore my dark jeans to work and haven't worn them since I retired.</p> <p>I have WIWs with distressed and faded denim.</p> <p>Here are some pics of moi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534221 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:00:34 +0000 Gail 1534221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like &nbsp;faded blue denim but don't like distressed or torn. Having said that I don't mind them on others it's just not my thing. I have decided that I have way too many pairs of dark denim and need to purchase lighter denim.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534164 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:58:49 +0000 Irina 1534164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fades - yes, love them, torn - no, too much of it everywhere, I agree. But I keep a pair of dark ones for the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534158 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:44:45 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1534158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not usually a fan of distressed jeans, but I bought a white Frame pair this summer and I like them a lot. It's the same Garcon cut I have and love in a non distressed black pair. They are cooler than the white crops I bought at the beginning of summer that have too much non natural fiber in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534153 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:37:52 +0000 DJP 1534153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lisap said!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534117 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:27:48 +0000 Anonymous 1534117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah - I'm a committed torn, worn, distressed and faded denim lover. &nbsp;I don't really love a dark rinse jean - they remind me of "office jeans". &nbsp;Which are kinda pretend jeans &nbsp;Sorry, I'm making myself laugh here . &nbsp;I agree with Angie in that there is too much of the distressed and torn denim out there right now, and it's now over-the-top in the junior market especially. &nbsp;Worn and distressed denim is a polarizing thing - women seem to either like it and embrace it, or never wear it. Interesting . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534096 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 19:52:43 +0000 shedev 1534096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like torn denim. I do occasionally like to wear very distressed denim, but they are a relatively small amount of my bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534094 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 19:48:37 +0000 Summer 1534094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind faded jeans for the most casual part of my wardrobe, but draw the line at distressed or torn. &nbsp;As with Angie, they are just not my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534066 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 19:02:44 +0000 Angie 1534066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE faded blue jeans because I love light blue. See my pieces below. I prefer light blue jeans to dark blue jeans by miles.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I don't wear torn or shredded denim because it's not my thing, (not suited to my style or personality). Greg laughed and vigorously shook his head when I accidentally ordered a pair that I modeled for him. (I didn't know they were torn from the online photo). Enough said.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, torn and shredded denim absolutely has its place in fashion. Much of today's fashion is about juxtaposition. Torn jeans are a great way of creating that hectic juxtaposition, when worn with dressier pieces, or uber casually with fashionable intension. I shop lots of distressed and torn denim with clients.&nbsp;</p> <p>My only gripe with torn denim is that there is too much of it at the moment. The market is saturated. A little less of it will bring back a happy medium.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distress-faded-torn-jeans#post-1534017 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 18:03:20 +0000 Elly 1534017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind fading.
