English term or phrase: a tough edge.
Unfailing in its popularity, distressed denim is a style that has stood the test of time. Though worn denim is generally associated with rebellious youth subcultures, now, design houses – namely DG, U and SL – are fusing this aesthetic with their own sleek, refined approach, resulting in tailored, masculine jeans with a tough edge.

terminación osada.


Explanation:
Creo que se refiere al hecho de que son jeans de alta gama por la confección, pero que el hecho de combinarlo con el 'distress' les da una apariencia más 'ruda' o 'de calle'. Como dice, su estética es fina pero combinada con detalles más osados.

agree  JohnMcDove: Voy a sugerir una variación de esto. "Un tono duro"... El aspecto general tal vez no sea "duro", sino "sofisticado" con un "toque de dureza"... :-)

  -> Muchas gracias, John. Sí, también había pensado en poner "toque", pero al final me decidí por "aspecto". Te doy el "de acuerdo".

un toque de dureza / un tono duro (o de dureza)


Explanation:
Como digo en mi "agree" con la opción de Adoración.

Me parece que "el aspecto general" no es "duro", pero si el aspecto es sofisticado, no impide que tenga un "toque duro", "un toque de dureza", "un tono duro"...

Diría yo... ;-)
