As Heidi Klum says, “One day you’re in, and the next day you’re out.” Such is the case with cut-off denim shorts. In summers past we’ve seen the Daisy Duke variety, as well as longer versions that sit a few inches above the knee. In any case, denim shorts sum up the notion of the lazy, hazy days of summer.

This season, lots of celebrities and style makers have been seen with an update on the denim shorts trend for spring by pairing the uber casual look of denim with the structure and polish of a blazer. While the look might be a challenge to pull off I couldn’t resist the idea for an afternoon lunch with my best girl friends or casual dining with the kids with a beautiful sunset and cocktails. If you are interested in giving the look a try, here are some examples that I hope inspire your dive into denim.
