I think at the places where I've worked, torn jeans would be a little over the line in the office, although managers who said something about it would be perceived as stuffy. However, I would ask before wearing business casual to a meeting with clients. I would assume that a suit was expected and I think I would be in real trouble if I wore torn jeans.
But then again, I'm 35+ now. Do you work at a small startup?
I work at a daughter company of a bank that develops said bank's internal software. Torn jeans are A-OK and might only get commented on when visiting the parent company. My team's architect is virtually never seen without a Chaos Computer Club hoodie.
Earlier in my career I worked for a well-established company in the medical sector. The only person in the company who dressed up was the boss – and only when meeting someone external.
I am 35+ and I'm both companies we had older team members.
Not a small start up by any means. Fortune 500 company
