This season’s go-to trend is not distinguished by one particular shape, but rather by the number of holes in your pants. Yes, you read that right. Trademarks of this ‘distressed’ look are irregular, often faded color, and strategically placed slits across the front leg region and pockets. Thus, miming the used appearance worn denim typically develops over time. The first pair of distressed denim reportedly appeared in 1965 in a boutique in New York’s East Village. The trousers were washed to make the fabric look worn, then decorated and sold for a whopping US$200 (AU$250). And just like that, the ‘used’ look was born. While color washes and shapes continue to vary each season, it’s safe to say that the popularity of this style never really seems to fade. So, if you’ve been struggling to find a perfect pair of your own, perhaps consider creating a unique version yourself.
