Whether you're heading abroad, festival-bound or staying local this summer, a pair of denim cut-off shorts will see you through every sunny day.

Frayed and bleached denim might seem like a casual-only option, but a well-fitting pair of shorts can be dressed up too for a chic and sleek look. Here are a few of our favourite ways to wear our pair…

1. With a tucked-in tank
If you're not into the form-fitting look, feel free to throw a loose shirt over this outfit or tie one around your waist. Perfect with sandals or lace-up boots.

 

2. Smartened up with a blazer
Gorgeous blazer, loose tee and ankle boots… Rashida Jones is rocking those cut-offs like a pro.

 

3. With a loose sweater
This is the perfect outfit for lazy summer evenings with a glass of wine. Now, to find a sweater like Selena's…

 

4. Denim on denim
Go for a different shade of denim on top á la Miranda Kerr and you're good to go.

 

5. Pop of colour
Who says denim has to be blue? Laura Whitmore's psychedelic short-shorts are definitely on our summer style wishlist.
