torn clothing
Ripped fabric worn
Torn clothing refers to garments with rips, holes, or frayed areas—whether from wear, accident, or deliberate design.
The phrase covers everything from a shirt torn in a fight to fashionably distressed jeans.
Torn clothing often signals poverty, hardship, or neglect, but in fashion contexts it can be a deliberate aesthetic choice: The model wore artfully torn clothing on the runway.
