Being mocked by your family for some ridiculous trend or other is understandable, but the ribbing we get for wearing ripped jeans – a fashion staple – is a stretch too far.

A family lunch or movie night can result in unwanted attention for your choice of denim wear.

Although seemingly controversial, what many seem to forget is that the ripped jean has been in fashion for decades.

They became especially popular during the ’80s. That’s more than 30 years ago.

Surely people should be used to them by now?

Whether it’s merciless teasing from dad, or genuine shock from the grandparents, some Twitter users have had enough when it comes to their families’ disdain for ripped jeans. 
It’s not a family event until at least one relative makes a comment about your ripped jeans
Wanna feel attacked???? Wear ripped jeans to any family event
My personal favorite: “Did you buy those like that?” Honorable mention: “Where’s the rest of your jeans?!”
My ultimate favourite is just the simple “there’s a hole in those jeans” “Your knees will get cold” an honourable mention.
“Oh honey did a bear attack your jeans??” “Were those 50% off since it’s half the material?” “Back in my day, ripped jeans were blah blah blah”????? https://t.co/0y6m6Ijs65
