Aug 25 2009 - 3:00am Seeing Audrina Patridge's crazily shredded jeans made me wonder: how much is too much when it comes to shredded jeans? Surely everyone has their limits. Since I'm not into the overly '80s thing, mine is three medium-sized shreds, max.
the J Brand jeans on the right could be the most hideous jeans I have seen in a long time. I can't stand white jeans to begin with, but ugh, that cut is horrible!
Three smaller cuts is a good amt. Yeah - I don't understand ppl buying them for so much $ - I have a pair of capris that are shredded a little but got them at a discount store for $20.
i think they look really cool and have that definite rockish hoboish vibe, but I can't imagine actually wearing it in real life w/o looking like you can't afford a nice pair of undamaged
jeans.
While I don't really like the jeans for other reasons, the Bebe pair in the middle seem to have some sort of sheer under-piece, which makes the shreds better.
It's funny because I work in denim and hate all the "trends" on jeans. Just give me a nice straight leg, solid wash with no holes or rips, and I'm happy. This trend is everywhere right now!
Although I do have a pair of jeans I love and wore so much they ripped at the knee by themselves...
It looks stupid when it's done on purpose (either you were dumb enough to spend a gazillion dollars on shredded designer jeans, or you were dumb enough to take scissors to your brand new
jeans) - it's obvious when it's done on purpose.
I, however, have a cool pair of accidentally-shredded jeans. They are a pair of jeans (originally just plain blue jeans in girls'/kids' size 16 stretch - good they stretched because I've
grown at least half a foot since I bought those jeans) from Limited Too (now known as Justice). Over the years, they've gotten ripped in various places, and sometimes I pluck at the loose
threads in the ripped places. I've also gotten paint on them, and I doodle on them when I'm bored. They are awesome. Jeans similar to this are awesome.
But it's stupid just to buy designer ripped jeans or to purposely rip non-ripped jeans.

I just dont get this trend. What's the point of spending SO much money on a pair of tattered jeans? I just don't like the look, it's so...hobo.
1well you don't need to spend a lot money,you can just shred your old pair of jeans

4I wish I could find jeans I love at AE that are not torn up ... it's so annoying.

9It hardly suits anyone. Especially not girlie girls like Audrina Patridge.
