How To Wear Super Distressed Jeans

Distressed jeans.  You either love them or you hate them.  For me, I LOVE.  And while I normally stick to jeans with light distressing, I decided to try out a pair on the other end of the extreme.  This jean from Akira was love at first wear!  I love the rips throughout the front of the leg and the fact that the knee rips actually aligned with my knees.  I cuffed these jeans to taper and slim the leg line but surprisingly enough these jeans actually hit just below my ankle even uncuffed (they’re intended to be a more cropped style if you’re not petite).  The looser fit is perfect for a casual “boyfriend” style and I’ll be living in them nonstop this weekend!

For more similarly distressed jeans:

I wanted to contrast the potentially grungy vibe of these intensely distressed jeans, and so I paired it with tailored feminine pieces to give it a casual, chic vibe.  This chiffon floral top has been a long-time staple of mine during warmer weather and the flowy chiffon fabric is the perfect juxtaposition against the ripped denim.  And finally, I added this pink moto jacket to mix in a girly yet edgy vibe and slipped on these pumps to elongate the legs (although these sneakers would be another great option if running errands!).  

Although this pink moto jacket is old, I found several similar that are still available and so cute for spring!
