I'm not sure that anyone, including me, has ever described ripped jeans as pretty. Rugged, casual, edgy—sure. But pretty? It's certainly not the first word that comes to mind, but there's no fashion challenge too great for Bella Hadid, who just wore a pair of light-wash ripped jeans out in NYC. Yes, she made them look pretty.
As other denim trends, like barrel jeans, flared jeans, and dark-wash jeans, have risen in popularity in recent years, ripped jeans have taken a trend hiatus, but if anyone can make them popular again, it's Hadid. By styling them in the way she did, she made them look completely fresh. The pretty shirt trend that she achieved this with was an off-the-shoulder top. Specifically, it was a modern one with a fold-over neckline, which is undoubtedly the most popular off-the-shoulder style at press time. Hadid opted for a chocolate-brown top, which she paired with a leather belt and pumps in the same color. It was the most elegant ripped-jeans outfits, and I'm newly inspired to shop for these pieces myself after seeing how pretty the combo is.
