Jeans are probably the most popular choice of anyone when it comes to opting for clothes. Many cuts and shapes have made this type of clothing acceptable to wear on different types of occasions.

But there is a line to being casual. Some draw it at the narrow fit, at the straight cut, while some fashion friendly people cut right through their jeans.

Understandably many people have objected to people showing parts of their skin. Many joke about how it is a poor man’s clothes. But some consider ripping jeans an art. It sure is. It’s highly dangerous when it is ripped wrongly, right? It’s no wonder people spend a lot of money to buy torn jeans.

However, there could be more to it. This could be turned into fashion for a cause. If used (worn out) jeans can be turned around with art to make ripped jeans, then it could have multiple effects. Expenditure on new jeans would be cut down – Reduce. The same old jeans could be Reused (it’s not like it could look a lot worse). Once you get tired of it (after a decade) It can be handed down to someone cause it’s still a fashion statement – Recycle.
