You CAN Wear Denim Shorts

“I am just too old to wear shorts.” I hear it more times than not this time of year. Especially when people pick up a pair of cut-off denim shorts.

And look, I get it, there are plenty of shorts I won’t wear, and I know it can be intimidating. But I promise everyone is too hard on themselves. And nothing says summer more than a great pair of cut-off denim shorts. Nothing is better than hanging out after a day at the pool, lake, or beach in a pair of cut-offs. But they also can be dressed up and still be age-appropriate; I am obviously not talking about the ones where your bottom hangs out. We have pairs that are a bit longer, so you feel comfortable, and they do not look like you took your shorts from the closet of your teenage daughter. To prove our point that age shouldn’t stop you, we asked Kelly (you will recognize her from the stores) to model for us.

I am not sure if you are familiar with Kelly Wearstler, the famous interior designer, but our Kelly is a dead ringer for her. Kelly Wearstler has this cool west coast vibe and this hair that we all wish we had. Well, so does our Kelly. I thought she was the perfect person to model the jean shorts because she has that California cool style.

She looks so great in all the photos, and she is in looks that are dressed up or down. I mean, the Smythe blazer look is perfect for dinner out on a warm night.

Come check out our biggest selection ever of denim shorts in all different colors and lengths.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
