Coachella Wrap-Up: Crazy for Cut-Offs

By J. Everette Perry

Cut-off shorts were the biggest hit this year at Coachella. Guys and girls both young and old rocked them. Some were bought pre-cut and others were given the scissors treatment by their owners. I saw super short ones and ones that fell right at the knee. My favorite was a long beachcomber style that I saw on a 17-year-old kid from Washington. He said, “They were too long so I just cut them up a little higher and folded them up -- all my buddies do it too.” I also saw other varieties of cut-offs, like khakis, cords, and even eyelet shorts. Anything that once was is now shorts.
