Re: Blue jeans that are torn
It's funny you should mention this because I often see young people on the train wearing this style and I think it's amazing because they are good looking people but all I can see is their knobbly knee!I remember having similar jeans myself in the 80s when there was a bit of a fashion for it, but those were old skin-tight stretch jeans that had been washed and washed to create a nice combination of pale bits where worn (like the bottom!) and had started to naturally fray at the knees.
If you can carry them off with confidence then go for it. In the last two years I've finally dropped jeans in favour of comfy yoga bottoms. It's been really liberating!

Re: Blue jeans that are torn
I don't like jeans - or anything else - with rips in them. I know it is the fashion but, to me, it just looks scruffy. My jeans are reserved for decorating and gardening only. Have a few pairs of trousers for working around the house or going down to the village shops - other than that I am not really a 'trouser' person.25-02-2018, 08:58 PM

Re: Blue jeans that are torn
I wonder what the kids today would think of the jeans we wore when we were younger. Going into Jean Machine in Oxford Street to buy my jeans. Struggling to get into them in a tiny cubicle with saloon type doors, then having to come out into the main shop for the shop assistant (usually a fella) do up the zip for you with a coat hanger hook because that was the only way to do the zip up. (if you could do it up yourself, they didn't fit you correctly).Once you were home and wanted to wear them, you had to lie on the bed to do them up or it was impossible to do. (I never ate if I knew I was wearing them.

I bought a pair. I am not fat, and I have good legs (long and slender).....I think they look cool on me.....but they have been in the closet for two months, I am afriad to put them on in case I get ridiculed. My son hasn't even seen them on me yet.
I also have a pair of shorts the same way and I wore them a lot last year, and it seemed ok with the shorts and a TeeShirt...but what about these jeans now......
Madam, being from Canada it's probably too cold (never mind old
) to be wearing them if they're ripped ... 
Personally I don't like them, but fashions change ... I feel like handing out some cash and saying "buy yourself a new pair", but that's just grumpy old Greenhorn ...

Buying a new pair isn't the point, as these are not old nor are they tattered... I know this because mine are the same as Blue's...
As for it being cold in Canada right now...today is very mild and seems like a spring day...
