Ripped apart

No, nothing about a melodramatic heartbreak, fatal disease or suicidal instincts. Everything is just fine. I thought it would be wise to clear the air so things don’t channel towards the very obvious implications of “ripped apart”.

Lets stick to fashion and talk about our favourite and almost obligatory part of clothing….Jeans!! 

I think they are as essential as our unmentionables…sometimes even more than that ;p 

I am not going to blabber about what kind of jeans are in vogue or which ones are best for which season or what should be worn et all…you all know that..even if you don't , doesn't really matter..

As minutely suggestive from my previous post, I think of fashion as a very subjective matter and that’s exactly how its meant to be.

Wear what you feel and you can never go wrong. And interestingly jeans are a very common and apt way to do so. Invented in 1873 by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis, yes the same Levi Strauss of Levi Strauss & Co. (Levi’s) who are big players in this market even today. Jeans or denim date back to cowboy days; tight, bell bottom cut and of course heavily accessorised with leather belts.

Later they became common wear for factory workers for their comfort. 

And now they are common wear for everybody….

High waist, low waist, mid rise, skinny, tapered, straight, boot cut, narrow bottom…whatever serves you well, but as for my personal opinion, one factor added to any of these fits can be a catalyst to the recipe of a WOW look…...." just make sure they are ripped ! "

Ripped or rugged denims became popular in the 1990s and 2000s during the grunge era, worn extensively by artists like Kurt Cobain and fans of the movement. There used to be just one horizontal tear at the knee and that was quite about it but gradually we learnt that that was not enough. I am glad we did!!!

Now we can go all the way up to the thighs or all the way down to the ankles or both at the same time. These are distressed jeans. The older they are the better they get...Don't worry, they are absolutely safe and acceptable today! Your grandma might just offer to repair them for you now and then but she will understand with time as mine did ;p 

Out of my recent experience, I teamed up a pair of straight fit, midway rugged, light blue washed  jeans with an over sized tucked in white t-shirt that has John Lennon holding a placard that reads “War is over-if you want it” ......man that did look super cool !!

Girls!…don’t hesitate to take a break from our pretty chic doll clothes…there is something about this rugged style that will make you feel free and alive. With the ripped jeans there’s so much to experiment with ! Teaming up a boyfriend rugged denim with sequined crop tops or body hugging t-shirts, a minimal ripped skinny one with a loose fitted shirt or a baggy one with a slim fit shirt….the sky’s the limit! 

When you feel emotionally off sometimes…and want to throw, break or tear anything apart, try ripping your old denims off…that way there will be no regret after the fury recedes and there you've got your new pair of hep jeans ! ;)   *Peace*
