Oh no, not again. Some of us will be spending $290 for torn denim shorts this spring. You can pre-order them at Satine, in Los Angeles. Or I can buy you a pair from a thrift shop and tear them up for you, let’s say ten or fifteen bucks?
Acid wash jeans are next, and I wish I were kidding.
I actually like the look–the shorts with a more refined top–but you’re right: you can get the same look with a pair of thrift store Levi’s. I HATE when women wear these shorts with a grubby T-shirt.
Since I am reading older posts- should I also comment? I had a rather ripped (just on the belt)pair of tan canvas shorts-purchased in London(in the early eighties) by the great Katherine Hamnett. One of my top ten favorite clothing items ever. These shorts remind me of good times. Love em.
Katherine Hamnett is definitely one of the Greats. You were smart to keep your shorts. I always end up giving away or throwing away to make space in my tiny closet.
