We admit we once hacked our favourite jeans to fashion a pair of cutoffs (to the chagrin of our mothers, no doubt). But thanks to these far more stylish (and professionally shorn) options, we're keeping the scissors in the drawer where they belong. With gladiators, wedges or even casual flip-flops, we love how easy these classic denim shorts are to pull off.
