Why the white stripes on blue jeans?
I got asked the other day where I bought my jeans, as they were (apparently) perfectly worn in, with just the right amount of fade, stain, and: “I cannot believe you found a designer thoughtful enough to wear out the cuffs in two places.” I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I’d owned the jeans for years, and started wearing them lower when I’d lost weight and raised the cuffs. There’s going to be a very disappointed pair of people in a Bluenotes store in the near future… back on topic: as a “young person” (20, regularly confused for 25), I have no idea what the hell is going on with pre-worn jeans and think they’re ridiculous – I enjoy telling the stories behind my imperfections (and this is where I got caught on a fence while being chased by campus security!) and so pre-worn jeans remove that.
