Distressed denim shorts bring a rugged, worn-in energy that’s equal parts casual and confident. Rips, frayed edges, and raw hems give these shorts a no-rules aesthetic, perfect for adding edge to warm-weather dressing. Each pair feels intentionally imperfect—styled to look like they’ve seen a few good summers.
The distressing varies by design, from subtle abrasions to bold shredding, with faded washes that enhance the texture and depth. Despite the rough-around-the-edges look, construction still matters—most styles feature reinforced seams and quality denim blends for a soft, flexible feel.
If your summer style leans relaxed but never boring, distressed denim shorts deliver. They’re built for off-duty days, music festivals, and anything that calls for a bit of attitude in the heat.
