Cutoff shorts are a type of casual clothing made by cutting the legs of long pants, typically jeans, to create a shorter length. This style is popular in warm weather, as it provides comfort and breathability. Cutoff shorts can vary in length, from just above the knee to mid-thigh, and are often frayed at the edges for a relaxed look. These shorts can be customized in various ways, such as adding patches or embellishments. They are commonly worn by both men and women and are often paired with casual tops like t-shirts or tank tops. Denim is the most common fabric used for cutoff shorts, but they can also be made from other materials.
