ripped jeans

Torn blue pants

Ripped jeans are denim pants with deliberate tears, holes, or frayed areas.

Once a sign of wear or poverty, rips became a fashion statement in the 1970s punk scene and have cycled through mainstream style ever since.

The tears range from subtle distressing at the knees to dramatic shredding: She paid $200 for jeans that look like they've been through a woodchipper.
