We don't want to cause a panic, but distressed denim has us freaking out over here. Perfect for wearing during fall's unpredictable weather, distressed denim gives every look an edge that's always just sharp enough. Fading, whiskering and straight up slashes do the deed quite nicely when it comes to these ten. Whether you want your jeans distressed within an inch of their life or just a slight hint of destruction here and there, this list is for you. Since we'd never blindly suggest just anything, we used our super unique and clever algorithm to comb through the vast world of denim to find ten picks that are top selling and loved by both editors and readers alike — you're up next for joining the ranks!
