Walking down Oxford Street this morning I was struck by how many people had holes in the knees of their jeans. One very well known clothes retailer on the Street had a male and female manikin dressed in ripped jeans and a ripped tee shirt all for the price of £130! I know I am old and not a dedicated follower of fashion but ripped gear? A first world issue me thinks! |

Although its a cool look on the fairer sex I'm alarmed to see the cult of the exposed ankles has now crossed to the male of the species....
Ripped at the knee super skinny saggy bum carrot trousers are not a good look for a guy....
I rest my case  |

I'm guilty of buying and owning expensive designer ripped jeans.
In my defence I have a bit of a designer jeans obession and have pretty much every pair I have had since I was 18.
My latest being a pair of Limited edition Nudie (the best jean maker) Stone Mason jeans |

Ahh you're way to young to remember the halcyon days of wearing Bobby Washables and Johnny Cross-pockets complete with 3 inch turn-ups and obligatory snake belt .....  |

"I think like everything they look great on some people. Not a look I go for but a willowy youngster carries it off well."

It's called fashion mate.
In 2017 you don't really need to wear clothes for warmth or practicality day to day in the UK. Therefore we can express ourselves through our clothing. I know that this concept might be alien to you - but sometimes people like to wear clothes that they like the look of.
And I think it's really shitty to judge people for that. |

Did I judge anyone? I made a number of statements if you read the prose correctly. As for being shitty ..........maybe! |

The way that you commented on the price and suggested it was a 'first world problem' was pretty judgy tbh. |

So, pretty judgy as opposed to full judgy?
If I had expressly pointed out that ripped and damaged clothing on sale at exorbitant prices was a ridiculous proposition and if you lived in a third world country you would be seeking to buy non damaged clothing then you could accuse me of being judgemental. But I didn't say that did I? |

Oh I don't know. I've seen some men in ripped jeans, tee shirt and bare feet looking mighty fine. |

I hear what you are saying op, I don't like them either.
Here is another thing you may well be singing soon and it's much much worst..
Muddy looking clothes!
http://news.sky.com/story/muddy-mens-jeans-on-sale-for-163330-at-nordstrom-in-us-10851954
US clothing chain Nordstrom has launched a line of 'dirty' jeans which come with a 'crackled, caked-on muddy coating'.
The new product is apparently aimed at those with plenty of cash, as the retailer pockets a cool $425 (£330) for each pair. |

Ripped jeans are out of fashion. They're now 'nibbled'. (This is how some high street stores are branding them)
I think people are taking the walking dead thing a bit too far. |

"Aren't us swingers an open minded bunch when it comes to other choices  "
We are very open minded to other's choices but I still don't like ripped or muddy affect jeans.
Each to there own, I'm sure we also do things or wear stuff others don't like  |

i think they look fine on 'young' people..it's wonderful to be able to wear daft fashion statement clothes when you're young! they should enjoy it while they can...i do despair of a lot of the men i see in a very wealthy, fashion concious area near me..men of 40 odd in falling down their ass,ripped jeans halfway down their calves, pointy weird loafery shoes,they just look ridiculous! but i would defend their right to go out looking ridiculous if they want to! |
