Check out our list of 7 styling ideas to elevate distressed jeans and get ready to be the fashion icon of your inner circle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep it casual<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>No need to put too much thought into your bumming-around-town weekend wardrobe. Add a tank top, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddressboutique.com\/collections\/all-tops\/cardigans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cardigan<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and favorite pair of sneaks to your distressed look and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll knock out that to-do list before brunch. Just remember to wear form-fitting jeans with this look and add some cute accessories. Or else risk looking less casual-cute and more hot-mess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Go glamour shot<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If your Friday night mission is to get noticed and turn heads, then bring a little sparkle into your life. No, we\u2019re not talking about body glitter (though you do you, girl). Instead, match your favorite sparkly crop top with a pair of high-waisted destroyed denim and sexy high heels for a weekend look that will have blinding beauty results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Black beauty<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Every girl needs an LBD in her closet to wear at a moment\u2019s notice. But, we promise, those perfect black jeans can be just as important. Match a silky black blouse with distressed black denim shorts or skinny jeans. Then, complete your look with killer black heels\/knee-high boots\/booties for a sexy style that will definitely turn heads (and rock runways).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Sure, it may seem silly to wear holes in your jeans when you\u2019re wearing a sweater on your back, but hey \u2014 nobody said fashion was logical.

When it comes to accessorizing your style have fun and think outside of the box to show the world the fierce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/what-is-my-style\/\">personality<\/a> you have to share.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Tgi-casual friday<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Looking for a way to bring a little edge to the M-F monotony that is work? Get literal on <em>casual<\/em> Friday and wear a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/womens-blazers\/\">blazer<\/a> with your slightly torn (and totally edgy) distressed jeans.
