We’ve been following the progress of the newest jeans trend today: the frayed hem jeans. Will it catch on or die a natural death even before it becomes a monumental trend? We’ll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, we are adding Alessandra Ambrosio to the slightly growing list of frayed-hem jeans patrons.

The Victoria’s Secret model stayed comfortable in her distressed jeans and kept them low-key by wearing them with a Rolling Stones sweater and high-top sneakers.

The frayed hem detail is subtle enough that it might go unnoticed by those not keen on spotting trends. However, we believe it adds a charming touch to the distressed elements of the jeans.

This new trend is something to watch. You can experiment with various styling options or take inspiration from Alessandra’s look. For instance, pair these jeans with a printed sweater and sneakers for a casual yet trendy outfit.
