Ripped High Waisted Denim Shorts

Distressed denim shorts are the summer piece you stop thinking about after the first week, which is the highest compliment a garment gets. These sit high at the waist, carry a genuinely ripped finish across the front, and have pockets where you want them. Wear them until the season ends and then wear them again next year.

They are made from 85% cotton and 15% polyester with no stretch, so they behave like proper denim and hold the line of the cut. Sizes run from XS through 2XL. Bottom length moves from 14.2 in to 15.2 in across the range, the waist from 29.5 in to 39.4 in, and the hip from 39.4 in to 49.2 in, so there is real room to size by your own measurements instead of guessing. Four colors are offered: dark blue and light blue for the version you already know, plus orange red and plum purple if you would rather your denim not look like everyone else is wearing.

The high waist is the part that changes the outfit. Tuck in a fitted tank or a cropped tee and the whole line of the leg lengthens. Leave an oversized shirt untucked over the top and the shorts read as almost nothing at all. White sneakers make them a walking outfit, flat sandals make them a beach one, and a pair of boots with the purple pair makes them something else again. The pockets mean you can leave the bag at home.
