torn clothes
Shredded fabric wear
Torn clothes are garments with rips, holes, or frayed areas from wear, damage, or intentional distressing.
The phrase often suggests poverty or hardship: He showed up in torn clothes, looking like he'd been sleeping rough.
In fashion, deliberately torn clothes—especially jeans—signal casual style rather than need.
