Ripped jeans are the funkiest type of jeans. Made popular by rock stars in the 1960s, ripped jeans are back in fashion. Today, more and more celebrities are seen sporting the ‘I don’t care’ look with their ripped jeans. Even Britney Spears wore ripped jeans for her rushed-for-the-media Las Vegas wedding.

Ripped jeans are a mark of rebellion. They make the wearer stand out of the crowd and get noticed. Ripped jeans are in high demand among girls and boys alike. To boys, ripped jeans impart a rugged look, while girls wear them because they are simply hip.

Although one might be tempted to rip their jeans on their own, it doesn’t give that worn-out look. Also, any normal pair of jeans is too durable to fray and rip on its own in a given period of few years. So it strongly advised to go for the readymade machine-ripped jeans to get that right look. Though one has to pay a few bucks more to buy a pair of ripped jeans than to buy a normal pair, the high price is justified because it costs manufacturers more to make ripped jeans. Brand-new denims have to go through a lot of processing to get that overused look. To impart the faded color around the rips, the denims have to be hand-rubbed with sandpaper. For the peculiar frayed texture they have to be sandblasted. All this leads to an increased cost.

However, to a youngster who wants to make a statement with his attire, ripped jeans are worth every penny. Not only do they look cool, but ripped jeans also go with all kinds of T-shirts as long as they are cool. You don’t have to be a rock star to look cool, just buy a pair of ripped jeans and it will do the trick.
