Transitional Fall Trend: DIY Denim

A couple of seasonal trends I’ve noticed are obvious to most: denim cut-off shorts being one of them. Cut off shorts have been my uniform for the past several weeks, months even I feel. There are a few reasons for that, one of them being that I began a new job in which I was allowed the freedom to don homemade cut-offs, encouraged even! The other being that it’s summertime, and it’s hot. A product of the 90′s myself, I’ve always been a sucker for a good pair of denim cut-offs…who wasn’t back then? Really 90′s? Simply pair them with a pair of black combat boots (Dr. Martens…my obsession!) When early fall arrives, and it’s not too far off my friends, I dare you to rock your summertime cut-offs with some fall pieces. Outfit ideas: cut-offs with a tank, vintage tee, or plain v-neck, thin knit thigh-highs or “leg warmers” (whatever they are just make sure they are above the knee) tall boots with heels, flat boots are fine too but when your wearing them with shorts and tights, you want some height. So, you’ve got your casual knit tee, shorts, legwear, boots, and now top the outfit with an oversized long-sleeved button down shirt, or sweater. You can even go all out and wear a cute knit cap. Of course I’m not suggesting to wear this when the climate change includes snow, but cooler nights in September and October are perfect. And for those of you who are heading back to school in the next few weeks and days, this is a good outfit option for you to get creative with. Below are some street trends with the denim cut-offs, perhaps outfit ideas for end of summer?


I love the look of ragged cut-offs with delicate silk, or thin cotton blouses, something boyish and grungy paired with delicate femininity is one of my favorite combinations. You don’t have to go out and spend a fortune on cut-offs either. I made two pairs of my own from old skinny jeans I had and wasn’t really wearing anymore. In fact, I like them more because they were skinny. They fit tight up top with no saggy bottom to fret over.

A good and fun tip: go to your local thrift shop, Goodwill, or second hand store and find a pair of old Levi’s or denim label of your choice, make sure they fit properly and chop em’ up! The more you wash and dry them, the better, because what’s a pair of DIY cut-offs without all the fringy hangovers?
