Raw hems, distressed denim, slightly unfinished details — worn deliberately and styled cleanly against structured pieces. The editorial that argues imperfection is a finish, not a flaw, and that the most considered clothes sometimes look the most undone.
Frayed Edge

Distressed denim and raw hem pieces bring a little tension to otherwise clean outfits, especially when the unfinished detail is intentional. I am drawn to retro ripped jeans, Levi's 512 Slim Taper jeans, a vintage Brooklyn ombre denim shirt, and the Hughes dark-wash denim jacket from labels including Levi Strauss & Co., PLM, and Everlane.
