Are ripped jeans tacky?

[OjosOscuros2]

I just bought my first pair of ripped jeans not too long ago and I like them so far. But then I started thinking, what is the point of the rips? Is it supposed to make jeans look cheap? They're just so artificial, not sure if I like that anymore.

I think ripped jeans are sexy and a cute stylish way to reveal some skin when the weather isn't yet appropriate to go for shorts. It's only tacky and going overboard if it has rips in revealing places that reveals one's butt (Yes I've seen them and I joke that it must be the worse if the person passes gas lmfao)

I love ripped jeans (such as the example posted) so much that I personally create my own rips in old worn out jeans at times.

Lol just had to google the ones you were talking about. Gross.

I like ripped jeans. They go with the “edgy” style that I like. The thing I don’t like about them is they rip more over time. I can’t deal with over-ripped jeans.

Those aren't. Those are fine.

But these...

Ugh yeah. I cringe at the thought of throwing those in the wash.

I have an old truck with holes rusted into the cab. Would you like to pay full price for it? It's not a beater, it's trendy!

[OjosOscuros2]

Lol! Okay now you really made me feel like a sucker.

A great pair of jeans, fit good, feel good and look good when you wear them, so you love those jeans well after they are ripped and torn.
Pre-worn/stressed jeans emulate that feeling those perfect pair of jeans gave you.
The style became popular because of that, we even like to see them on others because it shows that person feels like you, good decisions, commonalities.
So they attract and sell because of it. The manufacturer is smart enough to use it against you and your subconscious mind. Hit you right in the feels.
"Take money!"

The second picture provided looks tacky, cheap and visually unappealing, looks like she was attacked by an animal, washed the jeans and wore them the next day, but the first picture looks fine, the traditional horizontal rips with a bit of skin showing is trendy and looks good, but this is all my opinion, wear whatever makes you feel good!

[SarahVanRensburg]

Everyone wears them but it’s a waste of money, I personally think it is tacky and I prefer to not look like my dog has gotten to them.

[Shakazo]

I think it is expensive for new jeans already ripped x). The look is nice just because skin is revealed, that's all. Grunge fashion of 90's is still there x).

[pingiluv]

I don’t think so, some are cute and stylish. I’m too old to wear the extreme cut jeans but I would wear some with small holes

[iNsaneMilesy]

Yes... Just wear a skirt or shorts if you are warm. If you were born after the grunge era, just stop.

[Salsacumbia]

No they are not tacky! Its the new style man!! Own it and enjoy being fashionable!! I got mine and its cool!!

[InTimoreDei]

You fell for a stupid trend. They're tacky and look ridiculous.

[belowbreathing]

Actually I think the jeans look more fashionable with rips lol I can't wear jeans with out them.. they look too plain to me and just make the whole outfit look boring

[BOUNTYGUY9]

they are so sexy on a girl l can slide my hands in when she is not looking she knows what l am doing she pretends that my hands are not there as she loves me doing those things to her little sex bomb so she is my babe lol

[BOUNTYGUY9]

hello they are not so cheap looking they are so sexy l can see some flesh lol keep wearing them and maybe buy another pair in another color l also love to see a girl wearing nice sexy sports/gym wear leggings /shorts etc omg what a sexy turn on lol edwin the nice guy from scotland

[AlienChickk]

I like the style of ripped jeans, not sure why. I don't think it looks tacky.

[kenworth]

they were actually the in pants to have back in the early 90's. there stìll fine to wear

[TheOtherManOnTheSide]

I never understood that! I saw them and asked an employee why they were on the shelf if someone has ripped them. She laughed and said "it's the new thing"

[kurdice7]

As casual every day clothes no. But if your going to a place where you need to dress nice. And you wear a nice shirt but ripped jeans then yes.

[Kabluie]

A few is okay, like the ones you'd buy at AE nowadays seems pretty appropriate.

[xZoeyx]

Sometimes. It depends on the person, the outfit, and how ripped the jeans are

[theunclear]

Tbh i don't like them.. 🙂 it's like why , it doesn't seem that neat

[000_000]

You can have an old pair of jeans for days in the park or camping but i don’t see the point in paying for clothes with holes in it

[rafflesia]

i think of ripped jeans being a punk fasion for a normal fashion it looks inncredibly tacky

[winterfox10]

The rips just look stylish. Seeing your skin un the fabric is also kind of sexy!
