Absolutely not.

I'm not 16 so the answer is no.  I do have one pair of lightwash boyfriend jeans that have some minor distressing.

Another no here. 

 

My 16 year old great niece has a pair like these. They look like hot pants with a hem at the bottom of each leg. My DH asked her what happened to her jeans when he saw her. 😱

If I were a teen or early 20s, I'm sure that I would love them. And because of that, I'm not going to rag on them, no pun intended.

No, I don't like torn or ripped clothing. And the models look ridiculous.

I don't wear jeans often. That said I purchased a pair of Ralph Lauren jeans about 5 years ago and noticed some very light tears in the legs. I had never heard of distressed jeans until when I went to return them for imperfections in the fabric, that the saleswoman told me that was the "look." I returned them anyway.

The examples in OP are too extreme, IMO.

 

I have a pair of lightly distressed skinny jeans that look something like this. That's as far as l will go with this trend!

Nope...I see these all the time where I live (NYC) and still do not understand this trend.  I don't wear jeans often but when I do and my jeans shows any wear or tear I throw them out as usual.

Looks like they need to go to re-hab. Pathetic trend and very sad when women show no respect for themselves and rather go with the flow instead of being themselves. Too bad!

No, I would not wear any of the examples shown.  I wouldn't wear any piece of clothing with a hole in it anywhere outside the confines of my own home.
