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!
