Guess what all the B-Town boys of Bollywood including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Shahid Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Rampal and Riteish Deshmukh are bonding over this season? It’s their beloved denims.

Summers are back with a bang and as the mercury rises, distressed jeans is the ‘hottest’ trend on the fashion circuit.

Everyone who’s anyone is flaunting their torn jeans and, boy, do they look sexy! “It’s a very cool and well-loved style after all,” points out Bollywood’s favourite designer Shabina Khan. “The basic point is to look hot. Torn jeans give men a macho look while making women look very sexy,” she adds.

Agreeing with Shabina, designer Surily Goel says, “Frayed jeans give the wearer a nice, relaxed feel, especially considering the season. Teamed with a plain white shirt or T-shirt, it makes for an ultra trendy look.”

And summer’s not the only excuse. The current economic meltdown too has to some degree influenced the resurgence of this trend. Designer Narendra Kumar points out that the grunt look was the fashion statement that really stood out during the last recession in the 80s.

“This is a more updated version of that grunt look. It’s, in fact, a pleasant mix of the 80’s style fashion — which, incidentally, is also totally in vouge right now — and the grunt look,” he explains.

Adding to this, designer Shahid Aamir says the distressed jeans are a pleasant change from the well-tailored dressing norm. “Frayed jeans on a sexy body are definitely a fashion statement. It’s all about the attitude,” he adds.

If you’re one of those who thinks this too is a fashion fad that will fade away in just a few months, you’re mistaken. While most designers think this is an eternally classic style...it is here to stay!!!
