Elements Of Style: Distressed Denim

By Kenyatta Smith May 5, 2009

First there was the skinny jean, then the wide-leg, and then, ladies got comfortable in their boyfriend’s jeans. Today, the latest trend the is all those mixed up in one. This summer, dames are getting extra cool and laid-back with the distressed denim. This look is so perfect because it is versatile. Wear them loose and slouchy with a tank and gladiator sandals while shopping or tighter for a sultry retro look. 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 (check Brandy in gallery) not chic!
