If you’re anything like me, the best things in your
wardrobe are also the most worn: the perfectly broken-in jeans you’ve had for
so long it feels like an eternity, the banged-up boots/trainers you can’t throw
away. It certainly isn’t easy being terribly patient in this face-paced world
we live in. And not everyone has the time to simply take good care of every
garment. For me, clothes and accessories are an atlas of creativity.
With each piece, come many different memories you
experienced with each item that fills your mind with emotion. Every special
piece plays an important role in the story of your everyday life. Which brings
me to this spring’s distressed-everything style. That is blowing up the men’s
wear fashion game! It’s denim-and leather jackets and rustic boots, too. In
fact, all the new stuff we want? It looks, well, old and defiantly not new.
With the help of these simple tips, I’ll show
you the new-distressed way to get dressed: what to buy, how to style it, and
ways to make your garments look as if, they’ve had a decade’s worth of life
knocked out of them.
1) STEAM PUNKED

Before the boldly hue knits, graphic mixed prints,
embroideries, appliqués, and more, all that everyone can’t get enough of is the
70s slant helm of the steam punked leather jacket.
This jacket is rugged and
perfectly retro. Every gent in the world will feel like they have total
control, in letting their inner rebellious side break free.

2) OLD SOUL
The heritage and luxe state of these beat up boots
demonstrate the respect and authority, taking a sharp turn from the overt
sexiness these rustic beauties give off that is simply cool.
The secret to getting your own boots to look this
way is to invest in a lovely pair of real leather boots.
Over time, the leather will stretch with your foot
shape and simply become more worn.
This not only is a trend, but a style that will
never be old fashioned.
3) DON’T STRESS JUST DISTRESS
An eclectic and cerebral way of dressing, one with
perfection added to the list is defiantly not going to cut it here. The most
high impact stress you could ever put on yourself is trying way to hard to do
something.
Why make dressing sharp and
edgy so complicated? When it is easier then you could ever imagine. All you
need is the relaxed way to be instantly appealing. This starts with the epic
trend of aggressively distressed jeans!
Now our favourite designers
know how to give your must have jeans just the right amount of busted. And
while most men feel insecure about trying this rocker style, any guy can pull
off the head-to-toe distressed look, style note- sporting the ripped look all
at once carries a high degree of difficulty.
If you’re a new comer, wear one
piece like ripped skinny jeans paired with a fitted silhouette, like a sport
coat or blazer for instant class.
4) PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Incorporate all the global elements like leather
jackets fashioned with torn jeans for a relaxed yet dressy look. Once you get
the hang of dressing to impress it will become second nature to your everyday
routine.
Wearing a biker jacket worn out over darker colours
can really shine a light on your vintage editorial style. Your journey has only
just begun, but people will be shocked by your vibrancy and freshness and will
be eager to see where your appeal takes them.
The secret to pulling this style off, wear out your
garments, as they get better with age. The holes in your jeans will just get
bigger, the tough texture in your jacket will be more beat up, and your boots
will be roughed up to the eye.
What is old is defiantly new again and in this case
what is beat up is always exciting.
