raw hem
Unstitched fabric border
A raw hem is an unfinished fabric edge left deliberately unstitched, allowing threads to fray naturally.
Common in casual or deconstructed fashion, raw hems give jeans, T-shirts, and skirts an intentional undone look: She cut the jeans herself and left a raw hem.
The style suggests effortless cool or DIY aesthetic.
