How to Rock Denim Shorts

Spring temperatures have risen, so hemlines should follow suit.  It's all about the chic denim short to celebrate the sunny days.  All of the big spring trends of embellishments, colors and fitted silhouettes look even sexier in mini lengths.  

Pre-1970's, jean cutoffs were a casual, even sloppy clothing item.  Then came a character named Daisy Duke on the hit TV show, The Dukes of Hazard.  Most Fashionistas have likely never even seen the show, yet they can all picture what this now iconic fashion item looks like.

What goes around comes around, as a fitted shirt tied to expose fit abs are just as relevant now as it was then.  A nicely cut top to show off ripped arms or a more dressy blouse can take the look from super casual to a night out.  Dress it up further with a chunky bracelet or long chain necklace.

Ready to get leggy?  It's an American tradition!

How to Rock Colored Denim for Spring

It’s all about color this spring.  If you’re looking for upscale or laid back looks, bright hues are the quickest way to update your closet.  If you’re looking for an edgier look, skinny, cropped jeans in a bold color pairs well with a lot of options.

I’m wearing Rock & Republic’s vivid blue skinny denim with their stud embellished tank top.  I added a red raincoat for  seasonal showers.  I mirrored the tiny studs on the top with an over-sized gun metal cluster necklace.  I topped my look with my Hubby's Italian wool hat and studded platform pumps.

Other ways to rock out this spring is to pair a lightweight knit tunic or bold print tank with white or red Hamburg Skinny Crop Jeans.  Add a motorcycle jacket or trench for chillier days.  Accessories like Bohemian headbands, fedora hat, dangling earrings or a statement necklace help to elevate the look from casual to high fashion.
