I don't know this kid or this monkey, but their side-eyes are strong.
I like the ones that look like they're ripped naturally.
Most of them end up looking so contrived, like the girl in the red shirt in your post. Those are a big nay from me.
I don't like them.
I teach high school, and if my students wear it I tend to try to avoid it. (At least some of the more "teeny-bopper" trends.) I lump this in that category.
Yay! I like them. I don't have any but I think they're cool. I really like them in the first picture.

I like the look when done the right way. I think the 2nd and 4th pictures are styled well for a ripped jean look. I don't think that the other two are styled correctly.
Go Phils!!
I do. Not in the last 2 photos though. The 2nd to last has weird distressing, looks like white stains, and the bottom one looks sloppy with the ill fitting top, horrible wash on the jeans, and some holes that look like bullet holes.
I like it when it's done right.

It's a yay for me, but also only to a certain extent. I don't mind a little of distressing/rips, but ones with gaping holes aren't for me.
I do have a pair of cutoff shorts that are pretty ripped and I always want the holes to be smaller.
Agree.
I like look #2 but now that I am in my late 30s I am very aware of women who look like they are trying to hard and the ripped jeans are one of those things. But I will say that these woman are usually wearing other things that make them look like they are trying to hard: graphic tees, ed hardy, true religion jeans, juicy couture, you get the picture.
