Ripped blue jeans have been in style for a couple of years now and I am so glad that my girls are not teens living at home. I would not be happy buying new clothes/jeans for them with rips and tears all over them.
Whoever came up with this new fashion needs to have their head held underwater for several minutes. Really? High prices for blue jeans that have rips and tears all over them? Get real!!
I have not purchased any jeans with rips and tears so far. I did look through all the jeans at Girl Boss Boutique while I was working thinking that I need a new pair of jeans but could not find a pair I liked without rips and tears and with front pockets. I hate the fake front pockets also.
Do you like this new style of ripped blue jeans? Do you wear them? Do you think they are worth the price?

No. I don't like them. I always try to find some without rips in them. Yeah I don't understand why they have to be high priced either.

@TheHorse in most cases you are right. I had seen highlights from a fashion show (not Victoria Secret) one time and thought how could someone go out in public and wear something like that.

When these celebrities tear their jeans that is when such fashions are born

fashion statements are fine, but for the extra price they change for abused jeans, pass. Mine look like that now, but it took two years!

@DocAndersen What I really hate is to go in to the store to get new jeans and you cannot find anything like your old jeans. Even the cuts in brands like Levi's and Lee jeans are different.

@Laurakemunto I've seen them priced all the way to $149 for a pair of ripped up jeans.

I like them coz they’re comfortable. But the rip is not as many. I still wear them these days even though it’s not that in fashion anymore. @kareng

I haven't purchased new jeans in several years, so I've had some serious sticker shock when I look at the prices of some of these jeans nowadays. It's outrageous what companies charge for sewn-together-denim. It's even worse when those outrageous prices are charged for torn denim. No thank you!

@kareng Thankfully I have not had to have any of those issues with the clothing choices of either of my kids.

When I was a teenager, in the 1970s, actually ripped jeans were in fashion. We were all trying to look poor. But those of us who thought we were "hip" could tell store-bought ripped jeans from real ripped jeans. That ridiculous "fashion" has been around, in various incarnations, for decades.

@kareng When I used to stack hay in Montana, jeans would get worn, and eventually ripped. We had to use our knees and thighs to get 70 lb bales above our heads on a wagon or hay stack. I just shook my head when torn jeans became "fashionable" and girls would buy them for like $50.

I remember former American figure skater Debi "Doc" Thomas wearing blue jeans that were torn on her farewell show in 1992 skating to the song "Oh Darling". I thought she looked kind of odd wearing torn blue jeans on an exhibition show.

@kareng Debi is kind of a person that keeps quiet.

They were in fashion when I was young. And I tore a few of my old jeans to stay in fashion
. As a mother I am happy that my teenage girls don't like it
