When do ripped jeans stop being fashionable?

    They never were. Fashion in general is just dumb.

    I never understood why deliberately weathering hats and clothes as well as making them faded or rip was ‘fashionable’. I think it is just a mockery on those that can’t afford overpriced clothing, so it’s like “here! we’re pandering to your demographic! it is cheap now!”. Then again even when “new” ripped jeans are being sold, it’s marked up too.

      They can be fashionable and fashion can be dumb but ripped jeans are currently considered fashionable

        So you defend what is otherwise marketable trash? Wow, so cool…

        How about you go and make rips and tears in every single pair of pants you have and see how you feel afterwards.

          You don’t have to be a genius to see trends and what is fashionable. Stating facts that ripped jeans are in style doesn’t mean someone is defending it, just making observations. I am not fashionable, and I don’t care about trends, but it’s naive to ignore facts.
