In the latest UK Vogue catwalk supplement, they are predicting that distressed jeans and a black blazer is the look Parisians will be loving this spring. Balmain are really rocking this trend, so I thought I'd give it a go.
This is my H&M velvet blazer I thrifted last autumn for £5.50 and the jeans are vintage Lee Cooper with the distressing as a DIY job with the razor and cheese grater that I thrifted for about £2. My sandals are by Giles Deacon for New Look. The vest is my black M&S thermal cami.
The Balmain look really is about a statement jacket and totally distressed jeans, but I wanted to work the with the Vogue prediction and play my look down for a more wearable everyday look.
Will you be in distressed jeans this summer?

Hi janettaylor-thanks so much, I agree it is a stylish combo!
Hooray! I'm so glad I held on to all my distressed jeans when when the dark, neat ones were in... I knew they'd be back, but not so soon. I also love that my work blazers can come out to play a little bit this season. :)
Hi ranksubjugation-thanks for stopping by!! Yes, holding onto something long enough ensures it returns to be in style once more-well done and happy wearing!
Adorably thrifty, as always!
Not a fan of distressed jeans myself, but I ADORE your DIY job! Way to put that cheese grater to use!
Good thrifting as usual and your wearable look is a good example to follow!
Hi Wendy-thanks so much!!
Hi Sal-thanks for the compliment on the jeans, I figure if didn't work, the jeans were only £2, worth giving a go!
Hi kate-thanks a lot!
Loooove this look, and YES I am on board with the distressed jean!

Hi couture carrie-yes, its a fun trend for summer!
i love your take on it!
You did a great job - just enough distressing! When I distress I go overboard...you don't want to see my DIY bleached jeans jobs ;)
Yess I really want some distressed jeans...and I should dig out some old blazers to wear too. Love your interpretation!
I think I am going to give distressed jeans another go round. You know they say if you wore it the first time you shouldn't the second - but I'm finding myself rocking leggings too so, maybe that rule is outdated LOL :)
Ooooh yes i need some distressed jeans. I'm going to go very Balmain-esque though with barely held together jeans if i can find any. Love your interpretation though
Nice to see the distressed jean is back. A crisp blazer is just the perfect way to glam it up. Thanks for the tip!
i really want a pair of ripped jeans that are in the all saits sale but my mum would never let me =S i have a blazer but i dont wear it often as i have to wear a blazer everyday to school xx
Love the way you styled it, its so much wearable for everyday-if you dont work in fashion. I will be going for it like this and all the way, with lots of distressing. It just needs to hurry up and get warm here first!
very chic!
Well, I'm not yet feeling the distressed jeans, but you look so stylish with that blazer combo.

totally cute!!! maybe i can diy with a pair of old jeans.
Yay, i have both of those things :) And you are looking snazzy lady!!
cheese grater, very clever!
