Ripped Jeans Instagram Fashion
Wear your ripped jeans with a pair of fishnet tights and you’ll be the Queen of Fashion. Kylie and Kendall did it in 2017, so you can totally rock this look too!
Here’s how to wear tights under ripped jeans: simply cover up them gams with a pair of fishnets or tights! Then, don a pair of your most distressed and ripped denim jeans—the more leg exposed, the better.
BONUS: Your legs will be warmer.
I love how the look of lace tights adds a feminine touch, but the classic fishnets are a bit more sultry. This was a popular look in 2017 as distressed jeans stormed the runway once again (looking at you 1990s), and the tights underneath added the ‘je ne sais quoi’ making them a cult item for every fashion savant.
Let’s check out some of my favorite looks from around the web for some inspiration!
1. Fishnets Under Distressed Ripped Denim With Exposed Knee
Walking down the street never looked so good when you’re strutting it up in fishnets, heels, and high waisted ripped Mom jeans that have seen it all. We can literally see your knees, and we like it.
Tip: Wear pale, light wash mom jeans so your fishnets really pop out!
2. White Lace Tights Under Ripped Skinny Jeans
Wearing white lace tights under your ripped skinny jeans offers a much more feminine look to this fashion-forward style. It’s a great look for country girls because you can dress it down with cowboy boots or dress it up with pumps for date night!
Tip: The white lace paired with distressed jeans adds texture and visual layers to your look, so keep the rest of your outfit simple and let your bottoms shine!
3. Holey Jeans and Holey Tights
Your straight-leg jeans can be as distressed as you want. Buy a pair of cute ripped jeans for women, or DIY it at home with scissors and tweezers.
This pair could have gone either way—what do you think? Here are 11 more ways you can DIY your denim.
And don’t forget your tights! You can totally rock shredded tights under your distressed jeans.
If you don’t want to buy pre-ripped tights, you can DIY them too! Tights are more delicate than jeans, so rip carefully!
Tip: When DIY your ripped tights, try not to make too many horizontal cuts because it’ll make your tights look more unkempt than distressed. Don’t forget to seal the rips with some quick-dry nail polish.
4. Glam up in Sparkly Fishnets Under Ripped Jeans
Who says you have to stick with basic black fishnets? This pair of sparkly fishnet tights is BEYOND beautiful.
It reminds me of my ice-skating days, but it totally works on and off the ice. This look is one for the street-style books!
5. Holey-er Than Thou in Tights Under Jeans

BONUS: The peekaboo fishnet is work-place friendly so long as jeans are approved in your workplace dress code.
7. Grunge Meet Glam Ripped Jeans
This IG-er is rocking the Kendall +Kylie sock boot. FYI: sock boots or mid-calf boots, are another cult item to own along with raw hem denim.

Coco Chanel may not have designed this look, but the feminist icon would definitely approve of sporting the tomboy tights look—what with their juxtaposition of utility and femininity and all.
9. Rock Out in Roses
Delicate floral patterned tights give the destroyed look a softer edge. You can choose from lace floral tights to printed and colorful floral tights.

10. Make a Statement With Animal Print Tights
Animal prints are all the rage these days! You see them in trench coats, pants, and dresses—all the usual suspects.
So why not try something different? Dare to be bold and wear your animal print tights under sexy ripped up jeans.
The leopard print is a classic, but you can also experiment with cheetah or zebra prints. Visually, the animal print will be more subtle, but you’ll definitely stand out with your unique interpretation of this fashion trend!
11. Chill out in Classic Opaque Black Tights Under Ripped Boyfriend Jeans
If you’re not a fan of tight jeans, you can still rock this look with ripped boyfriend jeans. Pair them with classic opaque black tights and you’re good to go.
Remember, when you’re wearing boyfriend jeans, try to add other feminine touches to your outfit! You can throw on a pair of heels, wear a cute top, or carry a purse—otherwise, you may end up looking more frumpy than fashionable.
12. Stand out in Bold Colored Tights Beneath Skinny Ripped Jeans
Most of the tights we’ve featured so far are on the neutral side, but you don’t have to stick with the whites, blacks, and nudes to make this trend work. In fact, choosing the right bright and bold colored tights adds a splash of whimsy to an otherwise edgy look.
So go ahead and put on your fuschia, green, purple, orange, yellow, or blue tights under your distressed skinny jeans!
Tip: When choosing your tights, try to choose one that will complement the other hues in your outfit.
