Distressed Denim Shorts With Flag Patches

These shorts sit right on the line between vintage and rebellious. A stacked triple-button waistband pulls everything in high on the waist, while heavy whiskering and sanded fading give the denim a broken-in, thrifted feel. Star-print patches and rows of red stitching decorate the pockets, and shredded rips let flashes of pale pocket lining peek out below the raw, frayed hem. Pair them with a cropped tank and sneakers for festivals and road trips, or layer a loose shirt over the top when the sun drops.
