The distressed, tattered, faded, beaten denim trend is perfect for those who love their shredded edgy appeal. If you’re a bit tired off the uber polished ever-the-lady-like fashion trends and excited to bring a little ease and laidback-ness into your wardrobe, read on for more.
I admit that this trend is for the young and extremely young at heart. It squeals “look at me, I don’t give a flying monkey what you think of me..” and it is so low-key in its edginess that it has remained in the fashion scene for ages.
The distressed denim can be as dramatic as you want, ripped to shreds by an angry gorilla or it can be subtle like it’s been pawed and gently ravaged by your sweet pet kitty. Either way, you’re set to piece the rest of your outfit whimsically, either with a flowy shirt or a blouse, layered with a jacket or a cropped sheer top or a cardigan. Whatever that comes at the spur of the moment..whatever’s available in your wardrobe.
I call the distressed denim trend the take-a-break from all the dressiness that you’ve been inflicted with ever since you became style-conscious. Just throw in a pair of that shredded chic mess and take it from there. No time and energy wasted when you’ve decided to take a fashion chill pill for the day, right?
Scroll down for some relaxed tattered denim looks to inspire you. The simplicity is just outrageous, don’t you think? So relax, take it easy ladies!

“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.” –Yves Saint-Laurent
