Jean shorts. (Jhorts, anyone? Heh.) Okay so cut-offs aren't anything new, but they seem to be out this season with extra oomph- kind of like your girlfriend that just broke up with her boyfriend and wants to be out on the scene every night, right?
No matter what year cutoffs will remain the epitome of relaxed sexy summerwear. Seen and sold pretty much everywhere for spring/summer, I think we'll be seeing this trend on more than just celebrities. Cutoffs made it through the year as Kate Moss and Lily Allen showed them in a new way and rocked them this winter with black tights.
Model extraordinaire Erin Wasson has "designed" a pair in her capsule collection with RVCA. Alexander Wang showed jean shorts last year which probably was partly to blame for the jean short fanaticism. The real question is, if you are not a model or a skinny high schooler- are you going to wear cut-off jean shorts? Madewell and some other retailers are showing cute jean shorts that have a rolled cuffed hem- for me, those would be the way I would choose to wear this trend, but I'm guessing some real fashion-types will go for the real deal. Where do you fall in the spectrum? Will you wear jean shorts?

Tough call. I'm leaning towards no in favor of my brushed cotton white cuffed shorts which I am obsessed with. I think white is more crisp than cut offs. Although I do like the look in the middle--I think the slouchy but cool top is key to avoid the "i'm in camp" vibe. Oh and i'll be hitting the elliptical extra hard now, those are short! damnit.
ReplyDeletebtw quitting FB is extremely liberating, i highly recommend it
oh, AND, I have the slanket, and it is everything you hope it could be. it's also flesh colored so I end up looking like a creepy jabba the hut type character, but so worth it
ReplyDeletei dig the jean shorts.
ReplyDeleteThe return of late 80s jean shorts will, god willing, speed the continued return of short shorts. Speaking, from the menswear side, I am so tired of shorts that envelop the knee and encroach on the calf. god...
May short jean shorts return for all.
Quiksilver debuted their "shorties" last summer- so at least you could have more fashion forward swimtrunks?
