Super Short Cut-off Denim Shorts


. . .unless you're Kate Moss, on the beach, or in your own backyard, please spare us and keep them mid-thigh or else you just look trashy {even if you do have perfect legs ...which, let's just be honest, is subjective}


Absolutely Unacceptable . . .

{not a question of hotness obviously, the subject at hand is taste}

cut-off jean shorts, denim shorts, tacky, too short, ass hanging out of shorts

Acceptable . . .

* Longer *

Free Pass . . .





* With Tights *

  
...via {this is Kate Moss though}



Always acceptable . . .

* In the name of Humor *

...via


* Halloween *




* If you're this guy *

Well, yeah, the last guy is really the poster child for denim shorts. Over 30 or not.

PorkStar said...

Where I used to live I always saw a biker dude wearing shorts that short.. a really long beard and short shorts... very disgusting

Ali said...

Love it - glad SOMEONE finally said it!

Sher said...

I getting visions of a bum wax LOL!

ilovecoolthings said...

i agree! even though i could possibly get away with it, i refuse!!! I might do it with a black opaque tight this fall though... but they'll definitely be in the longer range...

ps - this should also apply to any below 30 year old that doesn't have PERFECT back of thighs.. ahem.

daer0n said...

LOL agree. But i like the ones that Rachel Bilson is wearing the best! She is so cute! she always looks great!
Britney Spears...ah, she is another story, never looking good imo.

The guy in the last picture, omfg, priceless. just, priceless.

Alice said...

Haha, I don't think the booty shorts are acceptable under any circumstances, no matter how rockin' your body is
love your blog, I'm following

Sarah said...

It's funny, I just got some denim cutoffs, but I'm going to be 21 soon. Now I'm thinking, damn, I can only wear them for 9 more years lol. great post and very true statements!

Miss Madeline said...

You speak words of truth!

Girl Japan: April Marie Claire said...

contacta conmigo y nos damos una fiesta a lo grande hacemos el amor hasta que te canses o te aburras

Ediot said...

that last guy-haha. hilarious...haha

Amy said...

agree...but i think even if you're under 30 you have to be careful about baring toooooo much junk. how old is jennifer aniston, anyway? i swear she's benjamin button. she keeps getting hotter!

Meghan said...

Ha! I love this post. I just saw several teenage girls with these shorts yesterday while out shopping and thought they were highly inappropriate.

Keith said...

Hey there. Great post. I hope you've been having a wonderful weekend. Take care. Cheers!

Angela said...

Thank you for posting this!!!!! I did a similar post on cargo shorts a while back, and HAD to take issue with everyone and their dog wearing these super short shorts: http://www.stilettosandgrace.com/2009/09/ask-angela.html

You're right, some people do get free passes. But, some people think they get a free pass, wear the offense, and turn the stomachs of all the walk by.

diane said...

A bra might be in order for the girl in the orange shirt.
Hilarious post, love your sense of humor. : )

karuliine said...

denim shorts, brrr tricky trend to me... maybe with tights a la Kate?
anyway, your blog is fab! just found it and i´m following you. DIY projects are especially cool!
xoxo,
Karuliine

Meghan said...

A lot of these photos are bad but that last one takes the cake.

Brett Alexandra said...

Love the tights idea. I would totally sport that! Last photo is hilaaaarious!

TheBeautyFile said...

So loving the "free pass...." Love Rachel Bilson, Elle and Jenn...they like, kind of just radiant gorgeousness...

LifestyleBohemia said...

OMG, I am laughing so hard right now. Amazing post!! What a way to end the weekend :)
xx

Amy said...

What a fantastic post. I think I will continue to chuckle away all day after seeing that chap at the end - what was he thinking? Where do you find all this fabulousness on yr blog.? You must spend hours and hours putting it all together BUT so worth it.
Thanks for the laugh. Oh and btw I WILL NOT be seen dead in anything so short!

Amy said...

I have been meaning to ask... Please may i possibly have your hair? I think it will be really cheap to ship to the Uk and i promise to take very good care of it. Your wardrobe would be good too although reckon I might not be able to pull it off quite as well as you! x

janettaylor said...

I agree with U!


X♥X♥

anhesty said...

i totally agree with ya! i recently retired all my booty shorts.

Penny said...

Yuckola! Reminds me of the old Two Live Crew videos....blahrh!!!

Vanessa said...

Last one is my fave ;-)

ZombieLace said...

AAAH that last image caught me off guard, haha. The cutoff jean has been my summer uniform, so glad I have several years before my cutoff license expires :~)

Bruce said...

I can tell you were never a fan of the Dukes of Hazard....

Kristin said...

Thank you. That last image has now made my day.

Style Porn said...

Mmm...I second the notion that if you're that guy, you should wear cutoff shorts whenever possible.

Susan said...

hahaha, that was funny :))
xoxo

Chessa! said...

OMG! thank you! my sister and i were saying this the other day. you should see the people in manhattan who do this. they sit on the subway with these freaking shorts. I don't even like my bare arms to touch the subway, let alone my legs and they look like they are wearing a bathing suit. I mean, I know it's hot out but COME ON!! this is New York not the back woods! sorry...I had to get that out:)

and btw, that last photo. how did you even come across that one. I'd like to see the google search! lol

jennine said...

i have to admit i wear them. and i'm in my MID 30s. well, not the short look at my ass ones, but the more baggy longer ones like MK or Ashely is sporting. no one's looking at my ass then.

omg...the capcha had lexpro, isnt that some kind of drug?

Oh my gosh. I just got a great laugh out of this. I was just shopping around for a pair of jean shorts for 6 Flags this weekend and kept thinking, they are all so short! Not appropriate at all!
