Denim Shorts

In my opinion, nothing is cooler this summer than a worn-in pair of Denim Shorts. For Spring 2014, Denim was not so much about the wash, but in DIY, and jeans were finished with prints, embellishments, doodles, splatters, and patches. For Summer, it makes sense that these trends get translated onto overalls and cut-off Denim Shorts. I love DIY, and cutting off your kids grown-out and too-short jeans into Denim Shorts and patching, shredding, or embellishing them yourself. But there are also a lot of cute Denim Short options to buy your little one with patches, rips, and embellishments. Whatever you choose to do, DIY or buy your child a pair, here are my favourite options that will give your little one Swag this Summer, and can be worn anywhere... from the beach, to the park, in the city, or at Summer camp!

In fact, I love this trend so much I am either going to DIY a pair of my old bootcut jeans into cut-offs, or I am loving these cool slouchy boyfriend options | Zara DENIM BOYFRIEND BERMUDAS | DL1961 Corie Rolled Shorts | CURRENT/ELLIOTT THE SLOUCHY CUT-OFFS.
