Just because daisy dukes aren't in our Summer style rotation [1], doesn't mean we can't enjoy the casual-cool vibe of distressed denim. So we're taking the frayed look to a new level with pieces that are a little rough around the edges while still managing to look polished. Sure, cutoffs will always have a place by the pool [2], but these sleek minidresses, cropped jeans, and girlie midi skirts all make this trend appropriate for any occasion. Scroll on for the 16 ways we're wearing frayed denim right now, because there's nothing distressing about Summer's hottest way to wear your true blues [3].
