Noria Morales — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:00:31 PDT

We showed you the stylish Summer appeal of cutoffs and how to wear them, but do you know how to make the best cutoff short from those old jeans of yours? We turned to one of the hippest chicks we know, Chantel Valentene, who is the designer behind premium denim label Resin. Resin denim - sold at boutiques like Shopbop and Barneys - is known for incredible feel and impeccable fit, so we asked Chantel - with her foolproof tips for making cutoff shorts for Summer that won't be too short, too long, or too uneven - to be our resident cutoffs expert (and model).

Celebrity Style: Christina Ricci

The adorable Christina Ricci left the gym looking mighty cute and non-sporty in her light blue plaid Splendid shirt, cutoff shorts, and Sigerson Morrison gold sandals. Wouldn't it be nice if every gym buff left their sneakers and sports bras in the . . . gym? I think so! The actress completed her casually nonchalant look with a cool cream bag, a star necklace, and Dita sunnies.

Mad For Madras: Shop 15 Quirky Printed Plays on Summer's Preppier Plaids

Marisa Tom — Thu, 24 May 2012 11:36:23 PDT

Forget schoolgirl plaid - this colorful take on the checkered trend is totally Summer friendly and a bit quirkier, too. To get that "just gone to Nantucket" look without having to venture further than the nearest sunny spot, incorporate a subtle mix of madras-patterned pieces into your warm-weather wardrobe. While the style is grounded in preppier renditions, there's no reason not to inject your own cool-girl sensibility into each madras-laden look. Try a seersucker Bermuda short covered in a cool patchwork print with a slouchy tee and espadrille wedges, don a breezy madras button-up with ripped denim cutoffs for an evening on the beach, or go for bold in a madras blazer-and-trouser combo. If you're feeling this plaid iteration for a pop of Summer prep, shop our editors' madras picks below now.

Katie Holmes Takes Her Daughter and Her Heels to the Beach

Katie Holmes played with daughter Suri on a beach in Malibu over Memorial Day weekend. A normal mother-daughter activity, with the two ladies showing their usual chic style, but also a curious fashion choice: heels. Most of us go barefoot on the beach, but Suri and Katie kept their shoes on. Katie's pointy heel is no match for sand. The rest of her outfit is a perfect Summer casual mix of cutoff shorts, white tee, loose blazer, and straw fedora. Do you think Katie was making a fashion statement or she just got caught up chasing Suri?

Right off the heels of Coachella, Kate Bosworth is giving us another way to work our cutoffs.

We spotted Kate in a similar look on the festival grounds in Indio, but this time she proves the look is just as well-suited for city life in LA.
