Distressed High Waist Cutoff Denim Shorts

Heavy destruction across the front thighs and a chewed, unfinished hem give these a properly broken-in feel from the first wear. The waist sits high and straight with belt loops and a zip fly, and the leg is cut loose so it falls away from the thigh instead of gripping it. A pale, sun-bleached wash keeps the whole thing light, and the raw edges soften a little more with every laundry cycle. Wear them with a cropped tank and sneakers now, or with boots and an oversized shirt later.
