Knee Cut Jeans

[feebletoe1492]

why and how did this ridiculous style trend of cutting or slicing denims for girls come from?

[Eleena]

As others have said, there's always been trends how to wear jeans across the decades, shrunk, bleached, ripped, fringed. I don't like the ripped knee look, they can be immaculately turned out above waist level & wear these. But I'm old now and that's the ageing process. I suppose my frayed jeans were talked about in the 70s :0?

[ummmm]

My daughter wears them. I just think what an effort to get them on.

I need stretch-to-fit these days.

Like a lot of fashions, its just stupid, and stupidity rarely needs explaining !

Not Your Children? ? - Poem by lord hunter
Your children are not your children,
They are the sons and daughters of
Life longing for itself....
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you,
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts-
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies, But not their souls.
For their souls dwell, in the house of tomorrow which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams,
You may strive to be like them,
But seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday

We were ripping jeans at the knees and bum back in the 80's/90's. So its not a new thing!

[vulcan42]

There's a programme on TV called how's it made and they visited a huge jean factory somewhere in Brazil. They do all the work for you, the new jeans are tumbled with pebbles to give them the distressed look and then they go through a machine which tears and rips them, all we have to do now is wear them.

My elder brother used to scrub his jeans with ajax and a yard brush until they'd worn holes - in the 60s

so you pay extra to have your jeans pre-ripped ... which is bizarre to an old fogey like me
