I’ve always been on the fence about ripped jeans. Are they trashy? Or cute?

I’ve never really thought about ripped jeans until recently coming home to California, where a day doesn’t go by without seeing a bevy of girls in slashed jeans and small t-shirts. I always thought they were really casual looking and kind of grunge-y, reserved for days at the beach or something of that sort.

I bought a pair of light jeans not too long ago (my first not-black-or-dark-blue-wash jeans since middle school) that have a slight fray at one of the knees, and I’m tempted to – after significant wear as they are – rip them in other places to give them that ‘destroyed’ look, but wear them with a nice top and heels, maybe something like this:

My jeans would look slightly more distressed that those, though.What do you think of ripped jeans?
