The Dark Wash High-Rise Distressed Cuffed Shorts by American Eagle
Your perfect effortlessly cool denim essential — a beautifully lived-in, heavily distressed pair of stretch denim midi shorts that brings a bold, statement-making ripped detail story and a flattering high-rise waist together in one genuinely show-stopping warm-weather piece. The medium-weight stretch denim in a rich, deep dark indigo wash — with dramatic, large-scale open rips and heavy fraying at both front thighs, subtle whiskering and fading throughout, and small distressed details scattered across the back pockets — has a beautifully authentic, worn-in quality that feels genuinely effortless. The clean rolled cuff hem adds a beautifully classic, casual finishing touch that hits at a flattering mid-thigh length.
