Summer's Hottest Denim Shorts
Memorial Day is almost upon us, and with it comes the official start of summer. The perfect piece to welcome the new season? Nothing says summer-or America-quite like a pair of jean shorts. Ever since Daisy Duke debuted her now eponymous form-fitting cut-offs, denim shorts have been an indispensable staple; it's no wonder these blue jean babies get reinvented year after year. At Coachella last month, Brit model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley donned a pair of studded denim shorts for a casually dressed-down-yet still incredibly sexy-look that couldn't be more on trend. Click through to shop our favorite shorts for your holiday weekend, and three cheers for the red, white, and especially blue!
