Why on earth would you want to wear denim shorts in winter? Hey, it’s L.A., it’s 74 degrees in November, and if you’re a celebrity, you wear what you want when you want to. Case in point: Nicole Richie wore Erin Wasson x RVCA denim cutoffs over some black tights. She pulled it off by repeating black throughout her outfit: black boots, beanie (by Rick Owens), and a smart Chanel chain crossbody bag.
Want to get Nicole’s look? Throw on a textured black sweater over a peter pan collar contrast shirt, and pull it together with some of our suggestions below!

1. These smart boots can go with shorts, a maxi skirt and, of course, jeans. The Suede Zipcode Boot ($188) – buy it at Madewell.
2. You can’t find Nicole’s RVCA shorts anywhere nowadays, but we think these more affordable versions with black pockets are pretty nifty. AE Tumble Shortie ($39.50) – buy it at American Eagle Outfitters.
3. Here’s a beanie with about the same amount of scrunchiness as Nicole’s Rick Owens version. Bop Basics Oversized Beanie ($68) – buy it at Shopbop.
4. Cat eye sunglasses are all the rage this season. Mango Cats Eye Style Sunglasses ($34.90) – buy it at Mango.
5. Need we say why we love this bag? Quilted Chain Crossbody (on sale for $15) – buy it at dELiAs.

Designing a collection with flawless retro edge wasn’t enough for Current/Elliott. To feed our nostalgic cravings for all things vintage, they put together a spring lookbook that wraps up the aura of ’50s pin-up charm deliciously. We are absolutely crazy about the hot red skinny jeans. And the high waisted, frayed denim shorts. We don’t know about you, but we’re prepping our front-lawn lounging attire and cat-eye liner as you read this.
