FAQ
Ripped jeans have intentional openings or tears in the denim. Distressed jeans can also feature fraying, fading, and worn-in details without open holes. Ripped jeans are one type of distressed jeans, with details that can feel subtle or bold.
We love ripped jeans with a chunky sweater, a long coat, and ankle boots. For another layer, try tights underneath so they peek through the openings. Finish with a beanie for an easy cold-weather outfit.
Try low-top sneakers for an everyday look, ankle boots for a little contrast, or loafers with socks for a different direction. Let the hem sit naturally over your shoes, or add a small cuff to show them off.
Light-wash ripped jeans pair easily with soft neutrals, graphic tees, and faded sweatshirts. Dark washes create more contrast with white tees, bright knits, and light-colored sneakers. We like keeping the rest of the outfit simple when the rips are the main detail.
Start with the care label. If machine washing is recommended, turn your jeans inside out and use cold water on a gentle cycle. Keep them away from exposed zippers or hooks that could catch the threads, and avoid pulling on frayed edges.
