Re: Patch look jeans in general

Martha Stewart did the only patch jeans that I really liked. 

 

She got the patches in the right places and got the length and tapering of the leg correct.

I don't care for that particular pair, but wouldn't mind if the patches were smaller.

I agree, the first time I saw those obnoxious patch jeans I thought who on earth ould wear something that ugly.  They're a bit toned down tonight but still ugly.  Reminds me of when I put patches on my son's pants when he was little.

 

Just my opinion, no need to scold!


Who on earth? .... Me.  I think they are cute! 

 

To me they just look like they are a decorative style not ripped and torn with patches covering them.  BTW, I never put patches on my kids clothes when they were little so maybe that's why I just don't associate the look as being old and torn.

These special value jeans look so QVC safe, mature looking jeans. Not for me.

Some patch jeans reminds me of scarecrow pants. Then there are some, that look cute.

Re: Patch look jeans in general

My opinion is almost $70 (special value?!) for

again with "The Emperors New Clothes."

people think they are buying the cool look but they just look like iron on patches on not so great jeans.

 

But I'm sure all the "designers" must get on the bandwagon and try to make people think this is so in and "on trend." If people didn't think it was popular would they really go out and buy a pair of jeans with a huge patch on them?! 

 

I hated it when I patched my sons and my jeans with them

back then and still hate them now.

 

but I'll repeat what everyone else loves to say

"but enjoy them if you get them."which I think is just meant to soften the blow of an opposing opinion.

I wouldn't buy those jeans. I wouldn't pay $5.00 or even $1.00 for them.

Hubbs hates those heels w/jeans. Calls them victim shoes.

I agree with you. Martha's patchwork jeans were perfectly designed. I remember seeing Leah wear them and felt it was her very best look ever. 

 

And then QVC jumps on a look with several iterations that can often miss the mark.

@Goodie2shoes - To each their own, but I think those ripped/torn styles signify something that is quite awful and intenionally unkind in the world, so I have never purchased anything like them for myself or for my family. I will never willingly wear torn clothing, no matter the "fashion".  

 

If I rip my clothing by accident, I pray that I will always have unripped replacement clothing to wear.
