It seems like lately every store you enter is selling embellished or altered high-waisted denim cutoff shorts. This denim trend has absolutely taken over casual summer style and the look never fails to look cool. While making a pair of DIY denim shorts from an old pair of jeans is an easy trick, we’ve got a tutorial that will help you take your jorts to the next level. Check out these EG tips on how to create your very own destroyed ombre dyed denim shorts. The first trick to making your DIY denim shorts look store bought is of course to totally destroy them! This can easily be done with an xacto knife, some tweezers, sandpaper and a lot of patience. To get that look where threads are exposed going in only one direction follow these steps:
1. Make 2 parallel slits in your denim going horizontally with your xacto knife.

2. With your tweezers, start pulling out all of the pieces of fabric running vertically leaving behind only the strings running from left to right.

3. Rub the edges of the rip with sandpaper for that perfectly destroyed look you’d otherwise be paying for in stores.
Next, to create the ombre effect you’ll need a bucket and some powder or liquid fabric dye in any color you like, we think pink turns out great!
1. Follow the instructions on the back of your dye and fill your bucket with a little less than the suggested amount of water, then add about one third of the fabric dye into the water.

Rit Dye Powder in Rose Pink, $2.
2. Dip your shorts into the mixture about halfway and let them sit for 20 minutes.
3. Next, pull your shorts out of the water so that one third of the previously dipped part of denim is now out of the dye and water mixture. Add another third of the dye to the water. Let the bottom 2/3 of the dyed part sit in the darker water for another 20 minutes.
4. Finally, pull out your shorts so that only the tips of them are now in the solution and add the remaining dye into the water. Let them sit for another 20 minutes.
5. Rinse out your shorts, let them dry and you’re done! The result will be some extremely cool ombre dyed denim shorts that will fade from a dark shade of magenta at the bottom to a barely there tickled hue on top before fading into a normal denim color.

Photo: Getty Images Sometimes when accessorizing, it’s not necessarily one piece of jewelry that creates a memorable look but instead lots of little pieces put together. For example, the perfect arm party or a carefully planned out ring mixture can create a super trendy accessory combination. When it comes to packing on the pieces there’s a beloved trend in jewelry: the mid-knuckle ring. These tiny, delicate rings sit between your knuckle and fingertip, and they’re just plain adorable. We think they look absolutely stunning when combined with lots of other jewelry or even if they are featured by themselves. Stars like Vanessa Hudgens love this new look and we think you will too! Check out these EG picks.

When it comes to summer footwear, most people don’t think twice before running to their closet to dig up their favorite flip-flops, but this season, why not substitute your go-to sandals for a just as comfortable—and infinitely more practical—shoe? Yes, we’re talking about a good ol’ pair of sneakers, but these aren’t your average lace-ups. The once casual shoe has become somewhat of a high fashion commodity this year, appearing in the collections of luxe labels like Isabel Marant, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Comme des Garçons. We’ve zeroed in on the three most dominating styles: wedges, canvas, and high-tops—all in a new batch of summer-ready colors and prints. Click below to see our favorites! Wedges Wedge sneakers have taken over this summer, thanks primarily to Isabel Marant’s famed (and sold-out) “Willow” sneaker wedge, a favorite of Kate Bosworth, The Man Repeller, and pretty much every Victoria’s Secret model. Now, brands like Ash and Nike x Liberty have followed suit with their own pumped up kicks—literally: These sneakers can give up to three and a half inches of heel height. You can dressed them up with a maxi skirt or down with skinny jeans and a tee, and the cleverly disguised built-in heel will give you that much-needed extra lift without the pain of a pair of stilettos. These guys have been around for a while, but ELLE thinks they’re still cool, and we do too.

Bensimon unleashed their canvas tennis shoes in the ‘80s, when they were worn by iconic style mavens like Princess Diana and Jane Birkin, and Superga’s rubber-soled sneaks date back to 1925. Now, these practical and preppy lace-ups come in a vast selection of colors—and since they’ve been around forever and are still in style, you may want to invest in a pair (or two).

Converse’s legendary shoe, introducing high top silhouettes of all different heights and designs. There may be some fresh new competitors in the category, but Chucks still remain as cool as they were back in the early 1900s, and now they have that special vintage feel too. Check out our classic and contemporary picks!
