I try not to wear tatty things unless they are designed that way or are a very comfortable pair of heavy denim jeans. I don't have the body at the moment for ripped jeans, I used to love wearing my male Levis jeans, that had rips on the knees and legs. I will not wear jeans ripped across the buttocks area.
I'm currently running & walking, so expect my ripped-jeans-worth body to be back this year, will go hunting for some 2nd hand Levis when I'm in the States.
Even my exercise wear will be delegated to sleepwear if they start to look tatty.
