Hasta La Ideas

It seems like denim trends change about everyday- we had the skinny jean, then the boyfriend jean, and the distressed jean. The newest and latest trend is all of these rolled up into one: the destroyed skinny jean. Balmain and Diesel showed some covetable pairs in their spring runway show, but most of us can’t drop over $2,000 dollars for denim. But not to worry, other brands have come up some equally cool versions. Whether they’re ripped, patched, or bleached, they are certainly super hot for spring 09. Black and acid splashed pairs are great for day and even night when worn tight and glammed up with some heels. Citizens of Humanity makes an ultra sexy black pair with just a few rips for a more put-together look. Cropped capri style jeans are also getting the distressed treatment. Siwy makes a great bleached out pair and American Eagle’s light washed crop are spot on for the warm summer days. Wear them a little slouchier for a more casual look that resembles more of a boyfriend jean or tighter for a sultry retro feel. Just remember- a few little rips is rocker chic, too many rips will make you look like you’re heading to a Def Leppard concert in 1984… not chic! Take a look at my slideshow for my favorite ripped skinny jeans!
