Every year and pretty much every season it seems like distressed denim shows up in some form, but now I would say it goes beyond distressed and more like shredded! In all honesty, any one of us could probably just take and old pair of our jeans and cut and shred to our desired amount. But there is something about these mangled bottoms that make me want to give in and buy a pair. This pair by Cheap Monday would be great on the weekends for going out to brunch or running errands.
And these distressed bermuda shorts make me want to grab my flips flops and BIG sunnies and hit the beach!
I REALLY love this pair by Current/Elliot because you could pair them with a dressier top and wear them for a night out or make it more casual with a white top, chain necklace and be totally rocker chic!
These jeans by Madewell are beyond distressed and ripped… they look like they have been thrown in a fire, but I am still oddly drawn to them:
When the warm weather hits, you of course need a few great skirts and this one by Sass & Bide is one of them! Might be a little scandalous with the ripped areas riding a little high, but so sexy and statement making at the same time:
As for dresses in this trend go… sadly I haven’t found many that I really like! I bought one from Topshop last Fall and loved it and got so many compliments on it and it’s pretty awesome that I can still wear it through the Spring.I really like this dress by American Retro, but I feel like it is a more of a transitional from winter to Spring piece….maybe a month or two ago, not approaching May. OR you can buy it now and wear it again in the Fall:
This Alice + Olivia dress is worth the cost since it’s pretty versatile all year round and can be accessorized with various jewelry options and hairstyles and worn over and over again!
We have a few styles of dresses on the second level of our AMAZING store at Fred that are much more appropriate for rocking this trend in the warmer months!
My favorite category of this trend is the tops and lightweight sweaters! They are all flowy, edgy, chic, and easy to slip on and get out the door. RVCA’s newer line by “Erin Wasson X RVCA” is great… this sweater is on my list of “need to buy ASAP” it looks great with skinny jeans, leggings, and even shorts while not being too heavy for the higher temps!
Vests are still a huge trend and in my opinion look the best in the Summer months because it shows off vest and always look better with a tan! This crochet vest by Free People is perfect for music festivals or just for a lunch date:
Alexander Wang who is one of my favorite designers makes this super cute sweater which can be worn as a casual top or dress it up with black skinny jeans and heels for night:
Lastly this Alice + Olivia chain top is sassy but not trashy! Great for a day look with distressed denim or shorts:
