Ripped jeans, also known as destroy jeans, have become a trendy piece over the years and are a must-have in your wardrobe. Sometimes slightly faded or even slashed, they are perfect for a party, going out in the city or for a casual everyday outfit.

Project X Paris, the reference streetwear store, explains in detail how ripped jeans for men and women became a trendy piece and our tips on how to wear them.

Where does the ripped jeans trend come from? Going back to its origins, ripped jeans were worn by “bad boys” who liked to fight and ended up with jeans full of holes. It then became a fashion element in the 1980s with the punk movement before becoming a staple of grunge fashion. The latter, embodied by Kurt Cobain, helped popularize this piece and it wasn’t until the late 1990s that it was seen as a luxurious and trendy garment. After experiencing different successes in the 80s and 90s, the ripped jeans have made a comeback in recent years as the essential piece to add a rock’n’roll touch to all our looks!
