Summer Shorts Appraisal

Distressed Denim Shorts

The item is a pair of light-wash denim shorts with a distressed and heavily ripped design. The denim is a pale blue color with visible fading and whiskering, giving it a worn appearance. Numerous horizontal rips and tears are present across the front of the shorts, concentrated around the upper thigh area. The rips are not clean cuts, but rather feature significant fraying, exposing the white threads within the denim weave. The hem of the shorts is also unfinished and appears to be cut raw, contributing to the distressed aesthetic. A zipper fly closure is visible with a metal button at the waist. There is a white hangtag attached by a metal chain to a belt loop, with black text that appears to read "ICY RICH". The overall condition appears to be consistent with the intended distressed style, with the deliberate rips, tears, and fraying being primary design elements. There are no obvious signs of unintentional damage, repairs, or heavy wear beyond the styled distress. The construction appears standard for denim shorts, with visible stitching along seams. The quality of the denim and stitching is not easily discernible from the image, but the consistency of the distressing suggests intentional manufacturing. The style appears to be contemporary, likely dating from the late 2010s or early 2020s, aligning with current fashion trends for distressed denim.
