We’re calling it: denim cutoff shorts will forever be a spring/summer staple. Does any article of clothing get as much mileage in the warm-weather months as a pair of shredded, frayed, and loved-to-death cutoffs? As far as our closets here are concerned, there is none!
Embracing the timeless allure of denim, these three fashion-forward friends showcase the latest trends in cutoff shorts against a serene summer backdrop
But like everything in fashion, even wardrobe staples like denim cutoff shorts need to be changed occasionally just to keep them interesting. For spring/summer, expect this old favorite to show up dressed in 5 fresh new trends.
Expect ultrashort cuts, sorbet colors, and utilitarian camo prints. The reigning high-waist silhouette is replaced with a looser and more relaxed fit, and the grungy, heavily distressed look gets softened by frilly lace embellishments.
The funny thing is that we saw all these new styles at this year’s Coachella. So, we guess sloppy denim shorts with pockets hanging out will still be a thing. We didn’t say all the trends would be easy to love.
