Going jeans shopping? Can’t bear the thought of another boring pair of skinny jeans? Well, you (and your closet) are in luck, because patched jeans are trending big time.
Think that they are too tacky and immature to truly and genuinely rock on the daily? Truth be told, it depends on a couple factors:
1) Too many patches will have you looking childish (or more farm girl than fashion blogger). Keep it simple—but still statement-worthy—with just a few patches; you want the patches to enhance, and not take over, your outfit.
2) Stick to denim-friendly hues (like dark blue, white, and black) when you’re picking your patched jeans. Ditsy floral and gingham prints are not as sophisticated (or fashionable), and will make your patched jeans look more train-wreck than trendy.
Hopefully it will be easier for you to weed out the good from the ugly in the patched denim department—because this trend is worth experimenting with (when you wear jeans as much as the average woman, they can get very tiring, very fast). Check out these pairs below for a good starting point, and a good addition to your online shopping cart.
