1. Balance
Always remember to balance out the look, especially if the jeans have multiple or large rips you should keep the rest of your outfit wwxsimple to avoid over- clustering. For example, you can pair with plain top, sweaters or blazers,  just make sure the top is simple.

2. How to accessorize with the ripped jeans
To give your distressed jeans a more dressy and trendy look throw in bangle bracelet, high heels, necklace or a fedora hat. Make sure that they're simple in color and design and that they don't look too shabby with the rest of the outfit.

3. Best shoes with ripped jeans
High heel shoes can look good with ripped jeans but it depends on the style of the shoes. Stilettos, flashy pumps and boots with a pointy toe outdate the pants and make you look tacky. Instead go for trendy shoes with wider heels and/or platform. Open toe shoes softens the jeans - making it look more feminine and girly.
