Cuffed shorts??

Mia · Kate Spade

I am fairly sure Vince does cuffed shorts. Yeah, OK, here's a pair from Shopbop (they have other colours):

Same shorts, different view (from Shoplastyle.com):

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

what outfits are you planning to make with these? i haven't worn shorts in about five years, but lately i've been thinking of buying some.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I'm planning on being pretty casual, with tees and flip-flops, with maybe a short-sleeve cardigan over the tee (or gladiator style sandals if I ever get any!). If I want to dress them up, I'll probably pair them with some espadrilles and a flowy, tunic-like shirt. Basically a funky, casual look...

I usually don't wear shorts either (I've been on a skirt kick) since they usually look horrible on me, but I find that this style could have potential for me.

My inspiration in buying these is Ashley Olsen (I think hers are cuffed; it's hard to tell):

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I also want to replicate Ashley's look and the best thing I found was to size up on some pleated men's pants and cut them off and roll them. I was thinking of hitting marshalls and tj maxx for some fun different patterns. I think seersucker would be really cute!

Thanks!"

what does B&M mean??? i've seen it alot here, but am clueless.... laugh if you must.

thanks.

aw, tara t... no worries! B&M = Brick & Mortar, a.k.a. real life stores as opposed to online! i wonder if there is a link on ST to all the shorthand things we use, like on makeupalley? that might be a good thing to have,i know i get confused sometimes!

tara t · Marc Jacobs

thanks crystal...

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Ooh, seersucker would be cute..

I'd check in my town, but there's really not a whole lot of stores for that stuff. But maybe I'll make hunting for them an adventure

Lilykind · Hermes

I think the best way to replicate the look would be to get a pair of J. Crew's chino shorts and roll them up yourself like Ashely did. They come in a trillion (okay, it's more like seven) colors.
