Here’s some good news for women who don’t like doing laundry: Faded, battered jeans are in.

Denims that look like they’ve had a nasty run-in with a steel brush and bottle of Clorox have become as prevalent as Learning Annex boxes.

Hipsters seem particularly keen to weather the upper-thigh area of their jeans – right where your legs hit when you sit at a desk.

That said, artfully faded jeans – even the ones that are only bleached out along the front crease – aren’t exactly office wear.

You’re much better off wearing them on the weekends, with simple tank tops or stylish blouses.

Where’d?

Weng, who’s 24 and majoring in broadcast design, found her red and white herringbone purse for $20 at the Brooklyn vintage store Beacon’s Closet, while her cutesy pink and black Marc Jacobs shoes were $340 at Bloomingdale’s.
