I'm not super crazy about black jeans due to the potential dye rub off issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998791 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 03:11:20 +0000 Karie 998791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the gray! It looks more natural, like the distressing is supposed to be there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998606 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 18:50:34 +0000 Raisin 998606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought of it that way, Marley! &nbsp;Good point. &nbsp;It's been a long time since I've had any jeans with holes....since I was a young teen I guess, and they were natural then, haha. &nbsp;I really like the grey too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998604 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 18:42:41 +0000 Marley 998604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gray for sure.&nbsp; But FYI - its my understanding&nbsp;regarding thie issues of &nbsp;distressed jeans ripping more, part of the "flavor" or "attitude" of the jean is then determined by how/if you repair the distressed ripped parts.&nbsp; As you wear them and then repair them, they become more "yours" and something that is original and unique!&nbsp; That's what I do with mine - and it's fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998576 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:31:28 +0000 Ingunn 998576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998574 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:27:43 +0000 Diana 998574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey.<br /> Agree with Sara though - the holes in distressed jeans always get bigger, esp. at stress points like knees. And the kind that have the threads running across them, the threads tend to break pretty easily. I do still like and wear mine, you just have to be ok with them getting more distressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998552 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:06:24 +0000 In My Joi 998552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998508 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:44:45 +0000 Ariadne 998508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey! &nbsp;I find the holes in the knees of the black ones look "fake" - they're too symmetrical to be natural distressing, and to my eye that makes them look kind of cheap.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998486 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:57:46 +0000 MNsara 998486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of these two, I'd vote for the grey.&nbsp; I prefer its sort of distressing.&nbsp; </p> <p>Just a warning about holes&nbsp;at knees - some reviews of similarly distressed denim mentioned how they accidentally ripped the knees open further when putting on the jeans and got caught on the hole :-(&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So,&nbsp;even if you intend to be careful . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998469 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:26:44 +0000 vibgyor004 998469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is also going for the GREY!! It looks more natural as compared to the black one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998451 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 13:44:40 +0000 Mochi 998451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote grey. What's the brand? They're excellent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998429 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:24:24 +0000 Mona 998429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for grey here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998389 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 09:59:00 +0000 Raisin 998389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Large preference for the grey so far! Thanks for the responses. Interesting, because I really wasn't sure which to pick. I also found another black pair and I think the distressing looks more natural, so maybe I'll get the grey first and decide on the black later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998289 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 04:04:20 +0000 Susie 998289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was sure I would vote for back but I prefer the gray. I don't love how the distressing looks symmetrical on the knees of the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998251 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 03:13:08 +0000 amiable 998251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I'm with the others.&nbsp; The distressing on the gray looks better to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998239 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:51:51 +0000 Jenava 998239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey, too, and I swear I didn't scroll down and let the other ladies influence my response!</p> <p>I just think it works better with the distressing in the softer color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998214 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:20:52 +0000 Anonymous 998214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote grey too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998208 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:17:42 +0000 rachylou 998208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too. I like the grey and the numerous rips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998205 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 02:10:11 +0000 Lyn D. 998205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey- you can see that it is intentionally distressed rather than just worn out at the knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/distressed-skinnieswhich-ones-or-both#post-998192 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:39:12 +0000 Raisin 998192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I really like BOTH pairs of these distressed skinny jeans. &nbsp;I kind of find them just casual fun, and easy for MOTG and sort of more rocker chic looks.I have all the "proper" pants I need, but nothing a little more RATE. &nbsp;So I'm trying to choose a pair...or just decide to spring for both. &nbsp;You know, black, grey, both are pretty handy, I like the slight distressing, and the over distressed. &nbsp;Can you see I'm talking myself into both here? &nbsp;Haha.. &nbsp;Or is one pair clearing much better than the other? </p>
