ALL IN THE DETAILS: Distressed Denim

Call me crazy, but I have never been the biggest fan of ripped jeans. I was always convinced that the distressed denim look could only be paired with grungy outfits. However, the Fashionistas/os that I have seen rocking these jeans have proven me wrong and I can now say that I am obsessed! I have learned that ripped jeans can be worn several different ways and that they are really great for a day to night look, which any of us with summer jobs can definitely appreciate.

Now that my eyes have been opened to the greatness that is distressed denim, I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair. Being the perfectionist that I am, I have even scoped out thrift stores in hopes of finding a great pair to customize. So, it is no surprise that when I saw this Fashionista walking through the park the first thing I noticed was her fabulous jeans!

She styled them beautifully with an incredibly chic baseball-inspired top with leather sleeves. The Fashionista stuck to her neutral color palette by adding some tan gladiator sandals. The rolled up bottoms of the jeans added to the effortlessness of the outfit. I love that she took an edgy twist on this classic look! This look is totally day to night, and could be dressed up by simply adding a chunky statement necklace and some bold heals.

Ripped jeans could also be paired with a slouchy T-shirt, Converse and a flannel wrapped around the waist for a very laid back look. You could even get the best of both worlds by styling your jeans with a sassy T-shirt and strappy heels. The possibilities are endless! I cannot wait to find some ripped jeans and have fun seeing what I can wear them with.

How To: Find your favorite style of ripped jeans, pair it with an effortlessly chic top and either dress it down with sneaker or sandals. You can also dress it up with heals and flashy jewelry to hit the town.
