Have you considered letting your knees go cold this fall? Distressed jeans are a huge trend for fall, and the more ripped off they are, the better. I do fancy the cool effect of distressed denim jeans, in fact, you can see how I wore my pair with cowboy boots, but I opt only for subtly distressing with just enough worn out look.
If you consider letting your knees go bare however, check your closet if you have some old jeans to DIY. Yet if you can´t brave ruining your well-loved jeans with a scissor, worry not for I have awesome pairs of distressed jeans featured below for you to consider. But before the jeans, here are some style ideas from the street on how to keep your style while rocking the of-the-moment, raw + distressed jeans.

distressed jeans + coat outfits for fall
Balance the ripped off jeans with a neat long coat. If your jeans are really tattered, top them up with an imposing black tailored coat. If the jeans are faded washed, throw over a light-hued long coat. If your tattered jeans are skinny, team them up with a patterned oversized coat. The key here is bringing the attention down and contrasting the rugged look of the jeans with the put-together statement of your topper.
distressed jeans + jacket layered outfits for fall
There are many, many ways to be creative with your fall layering, but it´s also nice to get ideas from the street. Whether it´s with a nude wool jacket, a knitted jacket, or a transitional summer-to-fall floral print jacket, rocking a pair of distressed jeans makes you look brave while stylish. Always wear it with high heels.

Find your best tattered jeans. Is it the skinny or the slouchy? Then experiment teaming them up with sweaters. The skinny distressed jeans will look great with oversized sweaters, while the slouchy jeans will look more flattering with drapey printed long scarves. Depending on the weather, you footwear options included combat boots, riding boots, or pointed-toe pumps.

And of course, who will forget the slouch distressed boyfriend jeans? My favorite way of styling them is with an equally comfortable sweater, with hems tucked in, and finished up with high heel pumps. But of course, you can also roll down the hems of your jeans and slip in flats on low-key days.
