Shred It: Cutoff Denim, From Ankle Skimmers To Booty Shorts

Cutoffs sometimes get a bad rap for being sloppy and unsophisticated. But, fringed detailing is in — again — so there’s a good chance you’ll spot even the fashion elite rocking distressed jorts (yes, we just went there) this season. Now that these frayed summer staples are suddenly feeling fresh, it’s high time you embrace 'em with open arms.

To help you do that, we rounded up 10 cool cutoffs. And, there’s something ahead for everybody — whether you’re shy about your legs (this editor would rather drink a bottle of hot sauce than show his sticks) or comfortable flashing your stems in Daisy Dukes (Jessica Simpson circa 2005, anyone?). From ankle skimmers to booty shorts, these are the styles that’ll tear it up this season.
