Shorts are normally worn in the spring and summer months, but why can’t we wear into the winter as well? There are many ways to warm up shorts with layering pieces like tights and boots, but the shorts have to be worth wearing. ShortCuts on Etsy upcycles outdated Levi’s to create cool cutoffs. Standout details like decals, dyes, ruffles and studs make any pair easy to style year round. The American Flag High Waisted Star Studded Vintage ($54) would be amazing with black tights, black thigh-high flat boots and a relaxed sweater on top.
ShortCuts also carries skillfully shredded old-school tees. If worn the right way, these to cool tops can transition into the so cold months. Try the Frayed Madonna Vest or Awesome Tee (both $19) under a black or colorful blazer with jeans and heels out for the evening or under an oversized grandpa cardi with skinnies and boots by day.
Shop ShortCuts on Etsy to keep it funky for all four seasons. The styles are sure to take you back in time, while keeping your look fashion forward.









East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
