I move for a recognition of difference between jean shorts ("jorts") and cut-offs. Different beasts. Most of these are cut-offs.

how about "cut off jorts", brah?

@2 Nope. Cut offs were jeans once, not cut-off jorts.

PS To quote Derek Zoolander, I'm not your brah.

"Daisy Dukes".

Am I the only person who thinks the pockets sticking out below the cutoff point look kind of dumb?

All the rips are silly, too, but leg exposure makes up for any dumbness.

We called them cut-offs when I was a kid. Hems a no-no.

Since when does The Stranger not use the word "fucking"?

The first pic got the blood pumping, but I think you're using the wrong type of lens when you amoeba-ize someone's head this badly with barrel distortion. FWIW, photoshop has a filter you can use to correct that.

High-waisted shorts sucked in the 80s, and they suck even more now.

I'm not into wearing shorts that are so short that you need two haircuts to wear them.

Good, lord, there's so much bad here. Half the girls look like they got lost on their way to Ft. Lauderdale.

The one in the floral romper is the only one with actual style.

Seattle is now Kent.

Expect to see these Daisies sitting high up in the passenger seat of 4x4s that spew charcoal soot from dual diesel stacks.

Because this is the Century of Kent

I'm hoping everyone wakes up today, looks at these high waisted shorts and realizes just how fugly they make even the cutest people look. Horrible, horrible trend that must. stop. now.
Otherwise, carry on with all your fashion silliness. Let your freak flag fly, etc.

@9 @16 and now @17 are right about high-waisted pants/shorts/etc. An ugly trend that looks bad on everyone.

I agree with 16 - this return to '80s-'90s cuts for clothing is a terrible idea. It just makes most people look frumpy.

High waisted jean shorts make you look like you're wearing a diaper. Fucking stop it.

Clearly, The Stranger has sold out to big Jean Shorts! How many cut-offs did they give you to buy your silence?!

Also, welcome to Monday.

Here's a "What the Duck" cartoon that imo fits well with these fugly highwaisted ripped jean shorts.

Oh, and how much does one want to bet that some of these kids (I'm about their age btw) paid way too much for pre-ripped shorts?

Thank you for shopping out that nasty second-degree burn I got on my thigh. Y'all rule.

Oh. Kids. Please. Don't. Have you learned nothing from the tragedy of seventies fashion? You all look simply ridiculous.

Well. I suppose everybody needs memories to cringe over through middle age.
