The Secret to Wearing Denim Cutoffs If You're Not a Shorts Girl
It’s no secret that celebs love the duster coat—it’s practically the staple style of 2016. Everyone from Jennifer Aniston to It models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner has embraced the versatile layering piece, and it’s easy to see why: It makes wearing shorts a lot more bearable for those who aren’t so keen on showing off a lot of leg.
Just recently, Chrissy Teigen wore her signature denim cutoffs and a bold yellow duster (with the most adorable floral lining) that hung off her arms and kept her backside covered. The new mom’s styling trick is great for those who want to stay cool in the heat but typically avoid shorts because they reveal a little too much skin. The long, breezy jacket is easy to wear regardless of personal style, and it makes wearing shorts comfortable and endlessly trendy.
See how Chrissy Teigen styled her denim cutoffs below, and keep scrolling to shop them out.
