Wearing Torn Jeans with a Jacket.

[TourbillonTurk.]

I recently bought a pair of the Thavar blue/washed slim jeans from Diesel. I tried the jeans on with a few jackets as a casual/smart outfit with a white shirt,cardigan and my moccasins, they make a good combination. Only problem is the jeans have a torn effect under the left pocket. Could i get away with?

- I would love to post pictures but i haven´t had the time.

Maybe it's because I'm more purist than anything but I think the jeans/jacket combination is a fail, especially when the jacket is paired with "distressed" jeans. Makes for a cheap look, IMHO. Just my opinion...

I've done that many times,that's all about confidence,if you can pull it off i can't see why not,i've done that and in my opinion it looked very good.

I agree somewhat. If you're doing it with dark, clean denim, or denim you've destroyed yourself through natural wear, it can look good. If you're doing it with pre-distressed denim, it will probably look bad.

Bloke sat next to me on a plane a few weeks ago. Late thirties/early forties. Yellow OCBD open neck, lightweight tweed SC, Rolex, loafers ... And ridiculous pre distressed jeans with ladders of warp (or is it weft?) only from knee to crotch. Fashion victim extraordinaire.

Mind NOBD does the SC and jeans very well so it can be done right. I don't recall his jeans having rips and holes in them.

Why not? I do it, fwiw. But if you're uncertain then it's better not to risk it, as it does require a bit of confidence as a look.

 

[TourbillonTurk.]

Confidence is really not the issue, I usually do pull of stunts and do it well! But I was just wondering whether it was a no-no for the sartorial fashion elitists on style Forum.

If you like it and think it looks good, wear it, if not don't, or do you dress purely to satisfy the people here on the forum?

I wear a SC with denim sometimes and i like it, obviously certain jeans go with certain colour jackets. Wear what you want, others my disapprove but style is subjective, it's your style so **** the naysayers.

Simplez.

People seek out approval from SF consensus as if it's some sort of golden idol to be worshipped on bended knee. There is, without a doubt, a lot of great advice to be had here. And there are certainly some time-honored rules of classic dress if that's what you're after. But those rules aren't the final word on dressing stylishly. They're just some traditional rules and methods for dressing stylishly within a certain mode of dress. Many of those rules predate the existence of jeans as acceptable casual wear for anyone but lower-class workers. Obviously, jeans have long since transcended their sartorial birthplace. Jeans have become a ubiquitous fact of life in modern casual dress, and I would argue that any rules which disregard them entirely are out of date. Pairing a jacket with jeans is not Classic SF Approved, no. But it's a combination that can certainly look cool, confident, young, and modern under the right circumstances. Examples can even be found on SF on the WAYWRN thread. Check out the various jeans-inclusive looks of folks like UrbanComposition and NYRanger, for example.

Also i forgot to mention that age is also important factor,i pull it off because I'm 18 and well compared to what are younger generation wearing today it can even be considered as formal and overdressed among them,the key is to not give a damn and wear what you enjoy and want to wear.So if you feel good in jeans and blazer do it.

I'll buy ECAC gear from you if you can get Clarkson a berth in the NCAA tourney.

Seriously, college hockey spam? That's a new one.

I do not approve of OPs torn jeans.

Nor do I approve of spam.

Well obviosuly it's traditionally unacceptable. But, for an confortable look with a travel jacket/sc, I think it looks fine. Especially if they're slim fit, and in darker blues. Just don't wear a ******* T-shirt underneath that jacket -.-
