The damaged jean look has been around for a while, but it hasn’t been until recently that it’s been considered truly chic to sport a sartorial number that looks like it’s been through a paper shredder—repeatedly.
From male leggings that look like they were mangled by a hamster farm to skin tight white jeans that quite literally look like they’re hanging by a thread, this cluster has some of the most edgy shredded, torn and tattered fashions seen on recent runways.
