Denim Shorts for Kids: DIY or Buy the Coolest Styles for Summer
Nothing is cooler this summer than a worn-in pair of denim shorts. For Spring 2014, denim wasn’t about the wash but about DIY details. Jeans were finished with prints, embellishments, doodles, splatters, and patches. Naturally, these trends have translated into overalls and cut-off denim shorts for summer.
I love DIY projects, like cutting your kids’ grown-out or too-short jeans into denim shorts and adding patches, shredding, or embellishments. If DIY isn’t your thing, plenty of adorable denim shorts are available to buy with pre-done patches, rips, and embellishments.
Whether you go the DIY route or buy a pair, here are my favorite options to give your little one summer swag. They’re perfect for the beach, the park, city outings, or summer camp!
I love this trend so much that I’m tempted to DIY a pair of my old bootcut jeans into cut-offs. If I don’t, I’m eyeing these cool slouchy boyfriend styles:
