Trend Alert: Patched Up

Gap at ShopStyle

Since we've had our hurrah with ripped jeans, let's embrace a new kind of denim in 2010. Might I suggest patched up jeans, a la Chanel's Spring '10 line? This funky look is all about DIY-inspired patches, skinny cuts, and bad-to-the-bone attitude. Do you have it? If so, revel in your inner hippie hipster with these rad Gap Real Straight Patch Jeans ($80) for an authentically distressed vibe.
