I'm glad you asked this question! Years ago before this style was popular I was sitting on a wooden bench with a tiny nail and the head of the nail was raised a little bit. When I got up, it put a hole in the butt of my jeans about 1/8 inch in diameter. I put these jeans in the goodwill box, little did I know if I hung onto them for a few years I'd be in style! lol
Don’t see the appeal in them whatsoever. Others might feel differently. Fashion is ever changing. When a new thing shows up, it becomes a trend. Some of them stick around for a while, others become fads quickly.
Someone explain the appeal of buying jeans with rips and holes in them especially at a higher price then regular jeans. I just don’t get it. In fact my sister and one of her friends did an experiment. They bought ten pairs of cheap Walmart jeans and modified them to look like those higher end pants with holes and tried to sell them. They even ripped out the tags and installed made up ones. At a city wide clothing sale they laid them out to advertise their fake brand and they successfully sold all of them almost three times the cost they bought them for.
I don't get it either. When I came home from school with ripped/holed jeans, my mom/dad gave me something to cry about.

I have never understood the appeal. For one, I think they look, well, ratty. I won't wear clothes with holes in them unless I am working in the yard or painting or something like that. Why on earth would anyone PAY for that? And good LORD I have seen some, um "chunky" gals that are wearing jeans that have holes with rolls of fat bulging out of the holes. How is that attractive? I mean, I seriously don't get it.
Yeah, some people like to wear things that look different than "normal" to stand out. I hate baggy kneed pants also; but for someone, it's fashionable.
