this season by turning it into a testimony of flawless style.
When talking ripped jeans for 2013, the main challenge consists in trying to maintain a state of comfort, while still aiming for the distressed jeans to look effortlessly pulled together. The chicer, the better, but the stylish doesn’t necessarily come by the way of channeling your femininity.

The same principle can be applied when choosing your take on ripped jeans for 2013. If your goal is to make them a statement and keep in touch with the core of the trend, opt for those boyfriend jeans featuring cuts that expose whole knees or sections of leg. Complete the statement with slick heels to keep the balance leaning towards sophistication.
If you seek something that will probably last you longer, promising to transition you through many more of the seasons to come, choose subtle shreds in your jeans and enhance their rebellious quality using bold prints, playful colors and statement footwear.
