Trend Alert: Distressed Denim for Fall

Faded, distressed, ripped, destroyed, and tapered are the new crop of denim pants swinging on the legs of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Katie Holmes.
Denim is a staple in almost any girls wardrobe;dress them up with some platform gladiators or dress them down with sneakers or ballet flats.

I think this fall we’ll be seeing many classic tailored styles (as was evident from the last fashion weeks shows), but the jeans will remains a staple piece.

Following the popularity of the denim cut off shorts trend going on right now( ie look at Rachel Bilson, Ashley Olsen and Hilary Duffy, plus the loads of fashion bloggers who are not shy to show us their daily wear – shout out to Rumi at Fashiontoast who almost has a denim short fetish bigger than Kate Moss’)

On many occasions I’ve envied her wardrobe, but I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. I must admit that I’ve never felt comfortable in really short shorts, I have really long legs( which where the subject of many childhood scuffles and besides I think they just work to lengthen your legs, which eventually makes me look like a giraffe tumbling over.

I’m already seeing loads of my fellow Parisians rocking faded denim ( can’t wait to get my camera back from Canon, to show you some pictures).

My Trend Forcast says faded jeans just like open toe booties wont be practical for fall/winter, but they’ll be all over the place.

Here are some options that, as usual, wont have you breaking the bank.
Do you think you’ll be falling into the GAP( hehehe) for this denim trend?
