At least I thought I would.
I walked in and searched for jeans and I found this:
And then this:
I blinked, confused. Where were are the normal non-ruined jeans? I walked further and saw these:
"What's happening?" I said out loud, frightening a customer beside me. She scurried away. I suppose I looked perturbed, because a worker asked if I needed help.
"Yes," I answered, flustered. "Do you have any jeans without the rips?"
She smiled. She was either thinking, "Oh man, I KNOW, this ripped trend is ridiculous!" or, "Oh my God lady, get with times. No one wears non-ripped jeans anymore." But she showed me regular jeans that I couldn't stick my entire arm through. They were just in the back where the other uncool clothes sit.
I admit, I don't get the torn look. Why on earth would I pay money for ruined jeans? Some people might be all, "But it's the style!" and I'll reply, "But why? Who decided jeans that looked like they were in a fight with a jungle cat is the style? And why are people going along with it?"
People can wear what they want. But me? I'll always be in jeans that a toddler can't stick his face through.
Do you wear ripped jeans?

I don't get the torn look either!!! I just want jeans with no holes in them lol.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I can't stand buying brand new jeans that are already ripped!I don't like the look in general, and they cost far too much to come damaged!
ReplyDeleteDistressed is everywhere. There are designer sweatshirts selling for $1000s that are "distressed" aka ripped. Hahaha.
ReplyDeletePS I have a new instagram - militarywifeandpuglife
I tried to look it up and it says no results found. Could you add me?
DeleteI did!! :)
DeleteI remember when they were in style back in the late 80's, but my mom had to rip them for me because they didn't sell them like that.
ReplyDeleteROFL I don't get it either. Like I can't even wear holes in my jeans on casual Fridays at work (it's against policy) so when the hell would I wear them? Around the house? uhhh no 1. I wear leggings around the house and 2. I'll probably get the edges of furniture caught in the holes as I walk by haha

I'm sure if I had holes in my jeans I'd get them caught on something and tear them even more.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this would so be me as well, I am forever getting caught on things!
DeleteI don’t like the torn jeans. I still love the classic fit and without any tear on it.
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean. I avoid jeans and trousers in a general way but it's a bit annoying that they are all ripped when I want something super simple!
ReplyDeleteThe only ripped jeans I own are the ones I have worn for years and made my own rips in them. Never understood this fad. Why would you pay good money for pair of ripped jeans.
ReplyDeleteI get it but I own 1 pair of distressed denim, they're ripped at the knee and they look so good on me. I TOTALLY remember when I bought them too. I bought them on sale with a coupon for under $10. My coupon expired that day and I wouldn't dare let a coupon expire so I grabbed the 1st thing in my size near the register. Now if those jeans weren't $10 and I didn't have a coupon, trust me they'd still be on that rack.
ReplyDeleteMy question is...how do you not die trying to put them on? Like how do you not get all your body parts caught up in them and then fall flat on your face and then break limbs and pride and....and....why is this happening? Are you cold?
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with my "all-together" jeans thanks.
Haha, I totally agree! I wouldn't want half my leg showing through especially in winter!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! If I pay as much as they are asking for jeans I want all the fabric I should get! Guess I have to resort to "mom jeans"
ReplyDeleteFunny how ripped jeans cost more than the pants I usually wear. So I guess those brands are getting in a good laugh! I don't get it, and for most of us, I can't imagine that they would actually be functional.
ReplyDeleteI would like them slightly ripped but one I'm 49 and matronly so I'd feel ridiculous and second I always wear my jeans at work so they wouldn't be appropriate plus my boss hates them.
ReplyDeleteTest
ReplyDeleteHaha I own a pair or two! Not that much ripped as on your pictures though! When did you grew up? In the 80s or was it 90s the ripped jeans were very in and I guess the trends always come back.
ReplyDeleteHands up I don't get it, and why they cost so much?! Like you can buy a complete pair for more and then you could just mess them up right?
ReplyDeleteI prefer more of the distressed look. Not to the extreme though. The ripped jeans look is ok. Just not so much for me.
ReplyDeleteI see ripped jeans everywhere and all I can think is “didn’t we do this in the 80s, 90s already?” I swear there are no new ideas left. I a few years they’ll want us in hoop skirts again
ReplyDeleteI don't wear ripped jeans either. But that's mostly because I think that my legs would get too cold.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I own a pair but there is always that one person who looks at you differently when you wear them . Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI have one pair with just a few distressed places in them (I asked a friend if I was too old for them). But some of these are just too much. And usually the more holes, the more expensive.
ReplyDeletehaha! i only have one pair of this type of jeans and it may look cool but it is one of those trends that easily go out of style i feel!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this trend kind of phases in and out every few years. I'm almost certain my kids have had ripped jeans at some point.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of ripped jeans that I love. They only have a few spots where the fabric is more worn then ripped open. I think they are getting carried away with these huge holes in the jeans now.
ReplyDeleteI have one pair. They are the kind that have the patches sewed underneath so they really don't have holes, just more distressed looking. They make me feel trendy. I wouldn't wear any of the ones in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI too am not lovin' the ripped jeans trend. When I go shopping for new jeans next week I really hope I can find some that look decent. Otherwise I'll be counting on the jeans I currently have that look 10 years newer than the ones that look like they were discovered in an alley somewhere, dusted off and placed on a clothing rack.
ReplyDeleteNo, why would I spend money on something that wasn't high quality?! And I do consider not ripped a sign of quality in my clothing. :) I also cannot/will not get on the 'skinny' pant/leggings as pants phenomenon. They look good on NO ONE, period. No exceptions.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure i can buy a pair of ripped jeans... i've honestly never done that, even when it first came into style a decade ago. now ripped jeans are back in style, and i still haven't given into the trend. i feel like my legs would have cold spots all through the winter haha
ReplyDeleteI do wear ripped jeans, however I agree it is too difficult to find a non-ripped pair these days! It is just a trend but classics are always good.

Back when I was younger I would have perhaps adopted the trend. Now in my mid-40's I'm not thinking its a look I'm going to embrace.
ReplyDeleteMy tween daughter and I are just starting to debate fashion. We've compromised and she's not allowed to wear anything ripped to school...or really anywhere where I want her to look respectable. In your room, at home, when you're not going anywhere...ok.
ReplyDeleteI've owed a few pairs over the years, but they were only "slightly distressed" not torn everywhere. The only times I wear them when I want to look cute but casual, like running Saturday morning errands. Most of the time I stick with my dark wash skinny jeans though! The fashion trend I really really don't understand is the tshirts with holes in them...
ReplyDeleteI love ripped jeans, but I agree some are a bit overdone. For example, I really don't like any of the ones that you photographed.
ReplyDeleteYes I do But my ripped jeans has little and tiny rips that wouldn't even pass for a hole. hahaha. I also wear normal jeans most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWish these pants were the trend when I was a kid. I would have been pretty fashionable.
ReplyDeleteToo funny that you had trouble finding intact jeans.. We ripped our own in the 80s - jeans we bought at the Salvation Army for $3.
ReplyDeleteRipped jeans can be super cute in moderation. If your jeans are barely hanging on by a thread, it's not a great look.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I refuse to buy pre-ripped jeans. My kids rip them fast enough!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I do wear ripped jeans but I am only 21 so I feel like I can get away with it. However, I only wear the ones that you can't see the skin through just where there's the strings going across, I feel like they are more comfortable sometimes and stretch in a different way than some other pants. Most of my jeans are fully intact though so I get where you're coming from, jeans are hard to find as it is now we have to look at those monstrosities like in your pictures too!
ReplyDeleteI see so many woman and teens in ripped jeans. I personally do not like the look and would never wear them.
ReplyDeleteThis is really one of those trends that I will never understand. I thought it was ridiculous a few years ago and think the same now.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I used to wear jeans like this when I was younger. Now that I am older I cringe even thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteI personally like ripped jeans and they can be a great fashion piece. Its best to wear i moderation. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you about the jeans with the holes. Why would people pay for a pair of jeans that are ripped. This is something I will never understand for sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad that I’m not the only one who finds this trend crazy. I like my jeans non ripped. I didn’t even get it when I was younger. If I didn’t put a hole in it myself I wasn’t going to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear them but I don't even like jeans anymore. They make me feel itchy! I would have your reaction!

I never got on board with this trend. Most likely because, well, I don't wear or even own, ANY jeans! lol!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the trend of ripped jeans either. And to think the amount people pay for these. Will never wear them.
ReplyDeleteThe third pic is heights �� I have seen popping dancers wearing it.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThey are very fashionable but when they are overly broken I don't like them, but I've never liked them since I was a teenager!
I don't mind ripped jeans just depends how ripped. I am not for the ones. That your whole thigh is out saying hello to everyone but minimal is OK
ReplyDeleteNo this will never happen. Not spending money on new jeans that have been torn and ripped. Beside it looks sloppy and like you don't care what you look like.
ReplyDeleteI admit I had a pair about 10 years ago. I was going through a mid-life crisis I guess. LOL I don't like them either. I saw a pair of beat up sneakers on a morning show a few days ago - looks like they were from the 70's - selling for around 1K. Why? I knew I should have saved all my 70's stuff! LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't really understand this trend. I feel like I would end up tearing an even bigger hole in the jeans!
ReplyDeleteYeah I've never understood this trend either but it seems to be the popular one. I have one pair because they fit good and that is it. I wish that they did not have holes in them.
ReplyDeleteFinally someone who hates ripped jeans too! I'm in my 20s and yet I hate those. Such a stupid trend.
ReplyDeleteLol glad I am not the only one. I own a pair but that was because it was gifted to me by a friend so we go twinning.
ReplyDeleteFashion is not always smart. I have a few pairs of ripped jeans and my daughters are resdy to fall of they are so ripped.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I dont get it too but if they feel more comfortable with it? I'll give it to them
ReplyDeleteSlightly distressed jeans are nice. When done properly.. The ones you pictured above are definately not cool and I will just leave it at that. Don't want to say anything too mean.
ReplyDeleteBut jeans should definitely be fitted to your body and fit properly.. I love jeans and I own expensive and affordable jeans and they all fit like a glove and are not uncomfortable. Some are distressed most are not but to each their own.

I never have understood the concept behind paying for torn jeans. I agree with Andie that slightly distressed jeans are cute but nothing more than that.
ReplyDeleteI do love Kohls but NO, I do NOT do the ripped jeans. They seem to put the rips in the most inmodest places! I try to dress modestly while still staying in style. It is getting harder and harder to do.
ReplyDeleteMy parents would totally give me a hard time if they ever saw me and ripped jeans. Some of them aren't that bad, but that third pair in your post is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI would think the rips would get bigger after being washed unless there is a trick to it. Hopefully they start having more options for jeans, mostly without the rips.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get it until I tried a pair on, and they are so cute and comfy. I would have NEVER guessed.
ReplyDeleteYeah.. no thanks! I can't even get over how much ripped jeans cost, too. It is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! You remind me of how ripped jeans were such a trend last year and I sort of liked the ripped-knee jeans only. I don't love them super ripped that you have to wear tights underneath.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with a few holes or rips here and there, but too much is ridiculous. I don't like it with those big holes. LOL. -Lynndee
ReplyDeleteI wear some ripped jeans but not these types. I think sometimes they are getting overboard. lol!
ReplyDeleteRipped jeans are sooo popular nowadays. I have a few pairs and I wear them occasionally. My mom, though, doesn't approve lol!
ReplyDeleteI do not like the ripped jeans. it is not my choice of clothing. i prefer the one with no holes.
ReplyDeleteThat was very popular when I was in school. To be honest, I still kinda like it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love reading about this. Ripped pants are now trending but I do not have yet. I am using my old pants which is not ripped. That is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the pre-worn dirty, filled with holes look of denim. I don't get those ones at all? Why do I need to look dirty when I am leaving the house. And yet some people love those.
ReplyDeleteHaha I missed reading your posts you are funny. I actually love ripped jeans I think they are great but admittedly they are not for everyone as you say!
ReplyDeleteNever in my life wear a ripped jeans. It just these many brands are glamourising this annoying piece of clothing.
ReplyDeleteThese have been popular for a few years now and I just don't get it! I buy my jeans to last because I buy clothes for myself so little so I don't get spending that much money on something that comes preripped and won't last that long because of it *shrug*
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the trend of ripped jeans either. Slightly distressed jeans are nice. When done properly.
