Giving an outfit a fierce, laidback look is as easy as throwing on a pair of jeans. Ripped jeans, that is. Ideal for dressing down and achieving that chic, relaxed look, here are our favourite distressed jeans.
#1 The Classic
Rag & Bone’s skinny jeans are like the perfect porridge – not too high and not too low. Made from American soft, stretch denim, these mid-rise jeans are perfect for laidback sophistication that flatters all your curves.

#2 The Casual
Throw together Mavi’s high rise, skinny jeans with your favourite old tee or a cheeky cropped top for an effortlessly stylish look. Plus, it’s an excuse to wear that ratty T-shirt which hasn’t seen the outside of your house for years.
