The popular denim cut-offs of the 1980s are making a rampant comeback.  I am glad to see the versatile bottoms hitting the streets of Los Angeles with a fresh twist.  They are a great go-to item for a casual summer outfit and can be worn so many ways.  

Bohemian Chic: Ashley Tisdale is working the look around town.  Try your cut-offs with a light cotton tank with ethereal details, like this Free People Sleeveless Button Down Ruffle Top.  Balance the feminine top with some rugged Frye Boots and a fringed cross-body bag like this Warehouse Fringed Flap Bag.

Smart & Casual: Victoria Beckham nails this style with the perfect tailored cut of her womens tuxedo jacket.  To create a similar look, pair this Juicy Couture tuxedo jacket, a comfy burnout tee shirt, and a pair of platform stilettos.

Edgy: This model backstage at Alexander Wang demonstrates how cut-offs can be worn in cooler weather.  Pairing your summer cut-offs with opaque black tights is a great wear to make the piece more versatile. Worn with some combat boots or Chooka Lace-Up Rain Boots and layering a zip-up hoodie with a leather bomber jacket, this look is sure to bring out your inner rock star.
