When it comes to summer essentials a killer pair of denim shorts can accommodate almost any summer adventure. Distressed denim is my absolute favorite, allowing me to skip the dreaded "break in" process and jump right to their "lived in" appearance. Below are a few important things to consider when purchasing your next pair of stylish Daisy Duke's.
- For petite girls, it's important to avoid long Bermuda shorts, which tend to make you look shorter than you are. Instead, opt for bottoms that hit mid-thigh and pair them with a simple wedge for an elongated look. The opposite applies for tall girls.
- When purchasing cuffed shorts be sure the cuffs aren't too tight. I tend to always go up one size larger for a more flattering and comfy fit.
- To show off your curves and maintain your shape, tuck in your top and style your summer shorts with a vibrant belt like this one.
- To avoid looking like a club rat, shy away from pairing frayed denim shorts with sky high stilettos. The combination will undoubtedly result in unwanted attention.
- For optimal wear-ability think about your existing wardrobe when purchasing different washes. Dark washes pair better with light colors tops, while light denim works best with darker tones.
- When caring for your denim be sure to wash them on a cold delicate cycle and inside out. Hang dry to avoid unraveling of the fray and to maintain their original color.
