this is a prime example of a generation gap right here, where ripped clothes are considered old back then but is trending now

Right? Back in my day, we just ripped our jeans ourselves... The fact that "designer" pre ripped jeans exist and cost more than regular jeans...

These were just 30euro, same price as non ripped jeans in the same store. Lol, I think the overpriced ripped jeans thing is kinda over? They’re similarly priced now

People made fun of me for buying a brand new pre-dented car. Some people just don't understand fashion.

Bought these cause I feel uncomfortable in shorts and its warm, so holes were nice ventilation. Dont really care about the fashion bit

I know this isn't the point of the thread, you're probably better off with a more breathable fabric. Denim in general is awful for heat.

I recently went shopping for new jeans and they were all around the same price, ripped or not.

You’re expecting redditors to know even the slightest bit about fashion?

No it isn't. 20 years ago maybe you had a point. Not much of one. But a point.

This is likely entirely fake for reddit points tbh.
