FAQ
Ripped jeans have intentional holes or tears, often at the knees or thighs. Distressed jeans can include those details, plus fading, frayed edges, and worn-in patches. Think of ripped jeans as one way to wear distressed denim.
We like ripped jeans with a graphic tee and sneakers for an easy everyday outfit. Add an open flannel or a zip-up hoodie when you want another layer. For a different take, try a solid tee and a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled.
Low-top sneakers keep the look casual, while high-tops bring a throwback feel. Boots work well with ripped jeans, too. We like letting the hem sit naturally over the shoe or adding a small cuff to show more of it.
Light-wash ripped jeans have a laid-back, worn-in feel, while medium washes are an easy match for tees and flannels. Dark-blue and black ripped jeans create more contrast with lighter tops. Our go-to pairing is a white tee with black ripped jeans.
Check the care label first. When machine washing is recommended, turn your jeans inside out and use cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid pulling loose threads around the rips, and air-dry if the care label allows.
