Jeans have firmly entered the modern wardrobe - both women's and men's. A variety of models, cuts and fits make choosing jeans quite difficult. If a woman has long been considered the norm to have several pairs of jeans for all occasions, then men are usually more conservative and prefer to have one or two universal pairs. But modern fashion dictates its own rules, and along with the classic wardrobe of a stylish man must include trendy men's jeans. Ripped models are very popular, but they require certain nuances to be observed when worn. Let's try to understand their features.
A bit of history: what ripped jeans say
The fact that men's jeans were originally cowboys' comfortable workwear is already known even to children. Denim pants are very strong, comfortable and durable.
Men's ripped jeans first appeared in the late 1970s as a tribute to the rebellious spirit of this time. The emphasized carelessness of jeans, combined with cheeky T-shirts or shirts, spoke of an unwillingness to obey universal rules. The degree of wear and the number of holes on the trousers depended on the courage and determination of its owner.
Often jeans withtorn knees and protruding threads were associated with rock music performers. Those who have been to rock concerts know the love of these expressive musicians for falling to their knees and “sliding” across the stage on them. Hence the characteristic marks on the jeans.
Those who wanted to stand out made such models themselves, at home, deliberately wearing out durable denim trousers.
New trends in modern fashion
In modern conditions, it is, of course, possible to make torn jeans at home, but few dare to do it. In addition, this makes no sense now: modern manufacturers present a wide range of jeans with scuffs and holes.
Men's ripped jeans are more common in summer collections, as clothing for holidays and parties. They are preferred not only by schoolchildren and students. You can meet stylish men and young people in jeans with scuffs. Men over 35 tend to be more conservative and skeptical of ripped-knee jeans.
A correctly complemented look will make ripped jeans look good, regardless of the age and build of their owner. The main thing is to match them with clothes and accessories, as well as wear them at a time and place where they will look organic.
How to choose ripped jeans?
For young people of school and student age, there are practically no restrictions in choosing jeans models. Their attention may be attracted by ripped skinny jeans. Male models canbe completely on the leg, and may taper slightly towards the ankle. The colors in such models are very diverse: from classic dark blue to bright green or red. The choice depends on the courage and preferences of the young person.
Men over 25 can also look very interesting in ripped jeans. But in this case, it is worth giving preference to the classic cut of the leg and choosing jeans by size. Scuffs and holes will look ridiculous if the jeans are tight around the hips and legs.
The choice of color should also be more conservative. Black ripped jeans are a classic. Men's models also look great in blue and navy blue.
Where to wear ripped jeans?
Whatever jeans a man wears, he should look appropriate in them. Men's ripped jeans are no exception. And they will look profitable in the following situations:
- At a party or club. Paired with a bright shirt, T-shirt or a stylish fitted jacket, ripped jeans will look like a night out.
- Walking in the park or cafe. For such an outing with jeans, it is best to choose a natural T-shirt or T-shirt, complement the look with stylish sneakers.
- On a summer day out or on vacation.
Don't wear ripped jeans to school or university. Even if the educational institution has not introduced a uniform or requirements for appearance, it is bad manners to come to school in a careless manner. And men's ripped jeans, even the most fashionable and stylish, are, first of all, negligence inimage.
You should also not wear such a wardrobe item to work. Even in the absence of a strict dress code, it is better to give preference to jeans with a classic look. Ripped jeans are more suitable for leisure activities.
Where to buy?
Despite the initial carelessness of the look of ripped jeans, their choice should be approached very responsibly. The fact is that if the jeans are made of poor quality, then they will very quickly become unusable. The density of the threads, the size of the cuts, their location - all this is of great importance in wearing ripped jeans.
Therefore, deciding on such a purchase, choose trusted manufacturers and branded stores. Men's ripped jeans are also offered by designers in exclusive series. Such models will also be of high quality, but you will have to pay several times more for the designer's name on the tag.
Can I do it myself?
Of course, you can freshen up old jeans yourself. To do this, you need to put them on and make marks with a pencil or soap on the places where the cuts are supposed to be.
After that, a cut is carefully made in jeans with scissors along the intended line. Pull a few threads around the slit to give the jeans the casual look you want.
Also, you can add scuffs to regular jeans. For this, sandpaper is used. By rubbing it around the pockets, on the knees and hips, you can achieve "worn" jeans.
If you decide to doripped jeans yourself, remember that cuts, holes and scuffs increase in the process of wearing and washing. Therefore, it is better not to overdo it with their sizes initially.
When choosing jeans, do not forget: they should be first of all convenient and comfortable. The right model will adorn its owner and will allow you to be stylish under any circumstances.
