Whenever someone talks about denim trends this season, ripped jeans are the first thing that comes to my mind.

It’s definitely this season’s most loved denim style. 

There are many way to go about doing ripped jeans and you’d be glad to know that there are no boundaries. 

From the mildest of rips; a single ripped knee with exposed cotton threads; to the full-on styles exposing half your thighs, the choice is all yours.

Bell bottoms got shoved into the spotlight when the 70s trend was in full swing.

Fast forward a couple of seasons later and the cropped flares have taken over. 

They are so ubiquitous that they have been touted as the skinny jeans of 2016.

Yup, the flared jean style has officially gone from being a trend to a bona fide style staple.

Cotton dual tone jeans, $139 by Topshop

We have to give credit to the designer of uber cool street style-inspired label Vetements for his thousand-dollar two-toned uneven hemmed jeans that sold out in seconds during his first season. 

I love it (but I refuse to spend so much just on a pair of jeans!) because it looks so fresh and fashion-forward without looking too outlandish.

Many other designers and high street labels have since caught on and released their own renditions of it. So yay to more (affordable) options.
