I have always found it difficult to spend money on cut-off shorts. Every time I was faced with the opportunity to purchase a pair I would think to myself “why spend money when I could just make a pair myself.” Then I would leave the store, go home, and perform fashion surgery on a pair of my own jeans. Without fail, I would mess them up. Every single time. Sure I went to college for fashion design and should be able to successfully amputate a pair of jeans, right? Wrong. Apparently.

As it turns out, there is a science to creating the perfect pair of cut-offs. Lucky for us (and the jeans in our closets), Siwy has figured it out. For $158 you can save yourself the drama of ruining a perfectly good pair of pants. And you can also walk around looking like a total hottie because these shorts are perfection. I have been living in my Siwy skinny jeans for months (I have 4 pairs and counting) and come summer time I will be living in Siwy shorts.

Available now: Siwy cut-offs in jet and Siwy cut-offs in surrender. Each for $158
