Balmain S/S 2010 Inspired Ripped Army Tee

Spending $1,625 on a ripped Balmain tee seems insane right? Well maybe not to some, and although I love Balmain, I have discovered a very easy, more-affordable way to get the look.

Start with an army green cotton t-shirt, try American Apparel's jersey tee in Army. To get the smaller holes, take a pair of pliers and slowly rip out pieces of fabric, trying to create frays and texture on the edges of the holes. I used pliers (and bit out some of the holes with my teeth) but you can use anything you find effective. Work in patches when making the holes, and try not to make them look too even or planned. After all the holes have been made, take a lighter and burn the edges of a select few of the holes. There you have your Balmain look for less. This army green tee looks great with a plum lipstick, try Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in Exquisite Plum.
