Show Off! 5 Ways to Make Cooler Denim Cut-Offs
Some of us have been cutting and shredding our jeans into cool denim cut-offs since 1987. Now that the trend has returned to the runway, I'm thinking it's about time to make my own pair of denim shorts a little more fashionable. Here are 5 ways to add a little embellishment to the classic denim cut-offs.
1. Studs
This season, we're seeing studs on everything. Add them to your your cut-offs for some edge.
