Wardrobe Staples- Denim Cutoff Shorts

August 17, 2010 10:17 am

Denim cut off shorts. I’ve always loved them. I had them when I was a kid and I still have some now. (not the same pair )  You can have longer length ones or short ones. You can roll the hem or have them frayed. Almost anyway, they look great and they’ll be around forever.

I love them with a flowy top and heels.

I love them with plain old sandals.

But now that summer’s coming to and end, here’s some other ways to wear them. I love this way with thights, boots and a big, warm sweater.

Knee high stockings are huge this season and they look great with Wellies and a button up.

And here’s one more way with tights and heels (don’t like these giant boots, but think great black heels).  I love it with this loosely fitted T.

Make your own!

-What I did was go to the thrift store and got a pair of jeans for $3.

-I cut them off about an inch and a half below where I wanted the hem to fit. They’ll fray, remember.

-Then I used  my denim distressing techniques to distress them at the pockets and hems a little.

-Wash them a couple times for the ultimate look before you wear them.

Just don’t wear them with iceskates. It looks white trash. ( I learned the hard way)
