I wouldn't wear them myself (too old) but I like them on a cute girl.

Yes, and we would not be so fat. In Missouri the stats are 60% of people are overweight. I bet back in the day that was not the case. Maybe that is how these jeans originated. : ) I blew out a pair of mine just a few days ago. Maybe I should have held on to them for their style
Some faded and torn jeans look good. Some of the solid indigo jeans that attempt to look like dress pants are pretty lame.
Must admit, don't think much of the torn jeans look.
I normally throw mine out when they look that bad.
But to echo what others have said, bring back the fashion of the 30's / 40's.
3 piece suits and wingtip shoes

FTFY
We saw ripped up jeans on some of the fash pack and runways a few seasons ago picking up on the deconstructed futurist thing that has been coming out of NYC for the last few years. Also recessions allways bring out distressed clothing on the runways and street style, now that its over we will probably see less ripped up clothes, its a trend thats over.
Also malls have nothing to do with fashion.
Ugh...
I think ripped and torn jeans are just fine.
That is, when I'm painting one of the rental units, changing the oil on the motorcycle or tearing out old carpet.
The rest of the time, I prefer unsoiled clothes in good shape.

Sorry to be off topic, but I really like your avatar. Did you design it yourself?
Things were better in the old days. People are more rude than they used to be. Hamburgers... nickel.
But a nickel was worth a nickel back then.
Ripped jeans are only cool if you close the gaps with rows of safety pins.
This is truth. It all comes full circle.
Look at the current trend with hats.
You can hardly step outside now without seeing some 15 year old sporting a tweed skimpy brim.

"You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J. D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run out of the house with a big washtub and... hey! Where are you going?"
"Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. I used my washtub that morning to clean my turkey, which back then was called a 'walking bird'. We had walking bird on Thanksgiving with cranberry sauce, potatoes, and stuffing full of gun powder. We also sat around and watched football, which back then was called baseball."
What I can't understand is that the ripped, torn, tatty jeans seem to often cost more than the pristine jeans. Yes I know there is extra manpower involved in wrecking the fabric, but even so?
Me? I love my jeans to age gracefully.

actually, they use lasers and acid to "damage" the jeans now,
personaly, i think its a waste and plain stupid to buy a pair of jeans thats been predamaged on purpose, its ok if you want to experiment on a old pair, but brand new ?, blah,

It is not only jeans. In my area they sell hats, shirts and eveyything else already torn to pieces. I had a pair of jeans that were getting a little ragged. They were faded, my pocket knife had worn a hole in the front, snuff can ring and my spurs had torn the hem on the back of the legs. One of the guys from town said "those are great pants. Where did you buy them". I also would like to see some of the fashion from the 20's-40's come back. In those days people dressed with style.
Hmmm. They look alright on my 24 year old workmate, but they just wouldn't work on his 36 year old workmate (me). I think I'll leave the fake rips and tears back in '88-'91...it was fun back then but now just seems a bit...lame.
