This sweater looks as though the stitcher got so tired by the time they made it to the bottom, that they simply gave up. And I love that. Self-aware imperfection is always a unique brand of cool, which is what makes this look work.

The mummy would return in this sweater set if it had the chance. The strings hanging off both the top and skirt give it that undone, unconcerned air that only someone with immense confidence could pull off.
I love how the tears affect the design and make it look trippy.

The inside-out look, hems and all, is making a major comeback. I think a big inspiration for this look is reworked vintage, which more brands are embracing each day.

You can't deny the appeal of undone hems, especially when paired with silhouettes that usually call for invisible hemlines. Plus, the 3D aspect looks so damn cool.
I'm noticing a huge part of what makes the 2022 miniskirt resurgence feel current is an unfinished hemline.
Going to Coachella or Tulum anytime soon? These are the pants for you.

Distressed leather jackets are so beautiful to me. I think it's their boxy structure combined with the feeling of accomplishment once you've worn one in. Many distressed leather jackets on the market today have already started the wearing process and come looking already lived in. Or you could opt for a vintage jacket and continue the noble work of its previous owner.

I'm really into brown leather jackets lately, perhaps because they don't get as much of the spotlight as black ones. Plus, the natural wear and tear that comes over time looks very Western in the coolest way.
This jacket is part of the Prada collection that most attribute to starting this trend.
Cropped leather jackets are so essential for the spring. You can wear them with dresses and high waisted silhouettes without overwhelming the look.
Absolutely love this aviator-style jacket. It comes with a removable collar, so you essentially get two jackets in one.
If you're into more form-fitting leather jackets, this one is for you. Plus, the warm chestnut color is absolutely stunning.
You can tell by looking at it that this jacket has so many stories.

Okay, distressed denim has never gone out of style, but it's definitely having a moment right now. This year's styles tend to sit lower at the waist and be a bit looser around the thighs. Imagine if Aaliyah and Britney Spears in their respective heydays were to collab on jeans. That would be the look.

This outfit proves that distressed denim can be dressed up. The contrast of the super high-shine top and bright-green accessories with the ripped knees creates a nice balance.
Re/Done just gets it. The fit is always perfect which makes them definitely worth the investment.
Wear these with a barely cropped shirt, and you've transported yourself to the early aughts.
Can't go wrong with a straight cut, high waist combo.
This flare cut will look amazing with cowboy boots or strappy heels.
