Victoria’s Secret model Doutzen Kroes plays a castaway in a editorial spread for the January 2013 issue of Vogue UK. Wearing pretty much nothing but a pair of white denim cutoffs, she makes us wish were basking in the sun on some tropical island. The editorial features Doutzen hanging out in sexy bikinis, gold foil pants and shorts, and just hanging out topless in general. Her sun-tanned and slim body offsets the white jeans and complements the white jewelry. Are you inspired? Spring is coming soon. Book your flights to a tropical destination. Pack your vacation jeans. Want to get her look? We have some ideas for your getaway bag.

We’ve been talking a lot about shorts recently. Colored shorts, celebs wearing shorts, bikini and bathing suit top combos…the list goes on. (Hey, it’s hot!) But even in the worst oppressive heat, most of us have limits on what we’re willing to wear in public. For instance, when it comes to cut-offs, everyone’s comfort level is different. Need proof? Browse through some street style blogs. From upper-thigh to practically-underwear, we found denim cut-off shorts that run the length gamut in our search to answer the eternal cut-offs question: how short is too short? Is there even such a thing? Let us know what you think!
To help you reach your verdict, we’ve rounded up some stylish ladies wearing all different types of cut-offs:
Something else else to consider: how ripped, ragged, torn, or distressed are you willing to wear ‘em?
Pssst, if you want to make your own cut-offs–of whatever length you fancy–we can help you out!

So don’t get us wrong… we’re fascinated by Lana Del Rey. Sultry voice, unique personal style… and she wears denim when she isn’t decked out in floor length evening gowns, crooning away. But lately she’s had a few outfit offenses we can’t ignore. While a recent performance saw a very cool pair of Urban Renewal studded denim shorts, she paired them with an extra-long badly proportioned fringe tee we wouldn’t even have worn in the ’90s. Then she hit the street wearing a chic pair of G-Star Midge Bell Ankle Jeans, but the trapeze top she wore was all wrong for the silhouette. And yes, both looks were sent off the deep end by her ever-growing bouffant hair and intense eyeliner.
How to fix these looks? We’d hack that trapeze number into a crop top and switch out her shoes for some fresh metallic flats, and the fringe top would be much cuter if it were a vest over a bandeau (or else, hack that fringe to thigh length).
None the less, Lana sets some great denim examples when it comes to brands and cuts. Grab a pair of Urban Renewal studded denim shorts or some G-Star Midge Bell Ankle Jeans if you like (at least that much of) what you see.

As if this cold weather wasn’t enough, the 7 For All Mankind Spring/Summer 2012 Lookbook has us so ready to say goodbye to these winter temps! There are bursts of colored denim, which we are happy to see continued into next season, especially in the coral colored jean jacket. It is such a fun color to welcome in spring with, plus it matches well with a lot of other colors, so this can be as go-to a piece for you as your classic blue jean jacket is too. As far as jeans go, there are skinnies, flares, cropped, and colored styles, so you will never be stuck with one sort of look out of this line. The flares have a more laid-back feel to them, which immediately remind us of the lazy days of summer (ah, memories!). We really love the detailing on the pair with the four button closure instead of the usual zipper and little details like this throughout the whole collection ensure that you’re not buying just any old piece of denim. Keep an eye out for the release of the line at the 7 For All Mankind Online Shop.

It’s no shocker that celebs love Black Orchid Denim—and since the West and East Coasts are experiencing much different weather right now, we’re seeing the best of late summer and fall fashion translated through the brand’s most sought-after styles. Ali Larter and Alessandra Ambrosio were both spotted this past weekend in Black Orchid denim shorts. Ali was rocking the ”Mini Shorts” in Meteor wash, whereas Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Alessandra opted for a boho look as she paired the Cut Off Shorts in Clear Ice wash with a printed tunic. On the chilly East Coast, Kourtney Kardashian wore Black Orchid Black Jewel Jeggings in jet black wash, while Lindsey Lohan chose High Rise Jeggings in Newton wash. She paired those with a checkered button-down and fringe boots. So there you have it—style inspiration from four celebs in two coasts, and one killer brand.
Celebs aren’t the only ones who love denim! Check out our founder Francine’s review of her Black Orchid skinny jeans.

We are loving this editorial out of the pages of Nylon Magazine lensed by Andrew Yee featuring some killer throwback 80s meets 90s pattern clashing looks. Our favorite pick includes a clever mix of florals, sexy polka dots, faux fur, and a pair of shredded denim short shorts. And though that’s pretty much the only denim used, we ain’t gonna lie we can’t get enough of the overall whimsical style of it all—gaudy accessories totally included. Check out the rest of the looks below!

This has definitely been the summer of cut-off denim shorts and everything vintage, so we thought it totally appropriate to throw one more street style look at you just for mere awesomeness of it (and because we’re pretty much obsessed). This look by Chanelle L. of Los Angeles has it all: a pair of vintage stone washed denim shorts, cute vintage tank top, killer shades, and amazing leopard wedge booties. Basically the ideal summer get-up. Don’t fret though, chances are this trend will go strong through fall give or take a couple layers, so there will be more cut-offs in your future—promise!
