THEL denim it is an evergreen in every woman’s wardrobe. For the Spring-Summer 2022 the trend includes an exuberant, and vaguely punk, twist for the jeans that you do torn, with some small and discreet cuts, or in a dramatic way, going to reveal centimeters of leather. To find the model of your dreams, the solution is simple: a do-it-yourself project is enough to find out how make the snags and build your own custom outfit.
Ripped jeans for Spring-Summer 2022
Despite their fame dates back to the eighties and nineties, when thanks to the explosion before punk and then of grunge became part of the collective imagination, in the last seasons i ripped jeans they have known a new fame. Today there are many designers who propose them. For Missoni And MSGM the tears are discreet, aimed at moving a straight and clean canvas; from Vetements And Balenciaga the “cuts” are concentrated above all in the knee area, on oversized models and in dark shades.

I am in particular Dolce & Gabbana And DSquared2 playing with all the possible uses of tears on jeans. The Italian designer duo experimented with overlapping gemstones, beads, inserts and color accents, while twins Dean and Dan Caten completely deconstructed the classic cotton canvas. The final effect is: maximalist, baroque.

How to rip jeans
To wear the seasonal trend it will not necessarily be necessary to make new purchases, but it will be enough modify a denim already in your closet. The procedure for tear off jeans it’s pretty simple. To start you need to identify a model already in your closet (of any fit, color and canvas) and for an initial vintage and aged effect the secret is to wash them in hot water and bleach before continuing. At this point it is preferable to wear the denim trousers in front of a mirror: with a pencil or some seamstress chalk you will mark the points where the tears will go, at the height of the knees, on the hips, on the thighs, the choice is varies. Once a small piece of cardboard or wood has been inserted into the trouser leg – to avoid puncturing the back – you can use scissors or a utility knife to perform the tears.
If the final result you want to achieve is minimal and discreet, it will be enough not too deeply engrave in the desired point, choosing whether to keep the denim threads visible, unraveling them further with one tweezers, or whether to cut them entirely. Instead, to create a more appearance aged, and more marked tears, it is advisable to use sandpaper or pumice stone on the jeans, which make the canvas thinner and more workable. In this case the denim will yield more easily, gradually making the deeper holes and the more worn fabric. Once customized, the ripped jeans can be washed at a low temperature with a delicate cycle.

Outfit ideas with ripped jeans
Never as in this case are the contrasts to work. The mixture of ripped jeans – in skinny, mum, flare, boyfriend versions – and tailored blazers, masculine shirts, romantic blouses, or revealing crop tops is a winner. Denim with a vintage and used effect is combined with bon ton Mary-Jane, classic sling backs or ultra-feminine décolleté.
For those who prefer looks with an androgynous, sporty, vaguely nineties flavor, you can follow the example of the supermodel Elsa Hosk, which combines ripped jeans with logoed boxers, cardigans with buttons and white sneakers. For a super cool metropolitan look.
Unlike so many other trends, ripped jeans have the advantage of being fully customizable. A good example of a DIY project that is also good for the environment.
