What Do Girls Wear Under Distressed Jeans in the Winter?

Cover up areas left bare by distressed jeans in the winter.

Distressed jeans may look ragged but they are fashion essentials for rock or grunge style. Girls who want to wear distressed jeans in the winter need to consider how to stay warm with all of those tears and holes in their pants. Since covering up the holes isn't an option, you can add layers beneath the jeans to provide more warmth in cold weather.

Tights

A pair of tights is an effective solution for staying warm when wearing distressed jeans in the winter. Tights do not add bulk to the jeans, which means girls who want to sport their skinny jeans all winter long will still fit into them while wearing layers for warmth. Tights can be a neutral color so they do not appear obvious, or a highly visible color, such as black or red, to draw attention and make the look even grungier.

Knee-High Socks

Knee-high socks are another option for wearing beneath distressed jeans in the cold. This is especially appropriate if most of the rips and tears on the jeans are at the knee or lower. Knee-high socks protect and warm the legs from the calf all the way up to the knee. Like tights, socks cling to your legs and won't add bulk beneath the distressed denim.

Leggings

Skin-tight leggings are slightly thicker than tights and socks, so they contribute a minimal amount of bulk when worn underneath jeans. For this reason, you might want to wear leggings with distressed jeans that are not as tight or form fitting. Jeans with a more relaxed fit will be more comfortable. Since leggings are thicker than tights and socks, they are warmer.

Knee-High Boots

Knee-high boots are your best choice for keeping your lower legs and feet warm in very cold weather. They also are the bulkiest option, so your distressed jeans will have to be on the loose side for this to work. When selecting knee-high boots to wear with distressed jeans, look for boots that are tight and preferably stretchy for additional comfort.
