The One Thing You Should Never Wear With Ripped Jeans
The art of pulling off ripped jeans comes down to one important trick: Don't pair them with other distressed items. Since the denim style already lends streetwear edge to any outfit, adding in other worn-in pieces can make the look read as sloppy instead of cool. Instead, stick to pieces like a blazer and turtleneck for a polished outfit, a voluminous top and ankle boots for something on trend, or a simple T-shirt and a leather moto jacket to achieve a model-off-duty look.
Ahead, take some inspiration from fashion girls and see the outfits they're wearing with black ripped jeans, then shop a pair for yourself.
Layer a turtleneck and an oversize blazer for a cool office look.
Tuck in a simple tee and pair with a long coat.
Add a pop of color to your everyday jeans.
Statement tops and ripped jeans are a foolproof combination.
Make a denim-on-denim look your go-to combo.
Let a pair of fishnets peek through the holes of your ripped jeans for a cool, edgy look.
Try out a crop top with high-waist jeans.
Pair your ripped jeans with a comfy sweater and chunky scarf.
Go for a simple look and pair your jeans with a plain silk tank.
Opt for the model-off-duty look and match your jeans with a cool leather jacket.
Try out a graphic tee and ankle boots.
Available in sizes 24 to 30.
Pair your jeans with a puffy jacket on a cooler day.
Fur jackets are everywhere this season, and they pair best with denim jeans.
