Ripped black skinny jeans are popping up on your Pinterest feeds, your friends’ style boards and in your favorite places to shop, but how do you wear them so that you look stylish, not scrubby? Give these looks a try.

Ripped black skinny jeans: Casual

It’s easy to make jeans like these look far too casual, so be sure to add some stylish touches to bring the outfit up a notch. We love adding sneakers with a pop of a bright color to help keep things casual. While adding a gorgeous purse in a classic style will help keep the style elevated.

Ripped black skinny jeans: Dressy

Just because these black jeans are destroyed doesn’t mean they can’t also be dressy! We love keeping the rest of the outfit simple, letting the jeans be the focus. Go with a soft black blouse and an edgy cropped jacket or blazer, then add a super-trendy pair of heels.
