How to Style: Denim Cutoffs

Finally it is Friday or should I say Friyay! This up coming weekend is sure to be a hot one in the Chicagoland area, so for this edition of How to Style with Emily Ehardt, I wanted to focus on almost every cool-girl's summer staple: the denim cutoff short. Denim shorts in general are always seen throughout the summer; however, a pair that is cutoff/frayed at the bottom are much edgier and more modern. Below you will find my tips on how you can style this summer essential:

1. Contrast the edgy vibe with a button up top. A crisp white button up shirt is sure to make these shorts more refined, yet still fresh for the season.

2. Try dressing these shorts up with heels. Yes, you can wear heels with shorts, but make sure they are a sandal style, so they look less formal. A trendy option would be a pair of lace up heels in a fun color.

3. Half tuck your favorite tank into the front of the shorts. Especially, a fun print will make these shorts much more summertime and weekend ready, while showing your personality.

4. Make these shorts sporty. Channel the popular athleisure style by adding a cool tee, sneakers, sunnies, and a hat to these shorts to make them ready for any adventure you have planned.
