torn jeans

Fashionably shredded pants

Torn jeans are jeans with rips, holes, or frayed areas, worn as a fashion statement rather than from actual wear.

What once signaled poverty or hard labor became deliberately styled in the 1970s punk scene and later mainstream fashion: She paid eighty dollars for jeans that came pre-torn.

Also called ripped jeans or distressed jeans.
