Doing Shabby Chic With Rick Owens Shorts

Doing Shabby Chic With Rick Owens Shorts

Kanye may have popularized it, but he certainly isn’t the only one doing it. Rick Owens’ asymmetrical silhouettes and deconstructed fabrics are a prime example of a brand that knows how to do shabby chic right. But just because you own a pair of drop crotch Rick Owens shorts, doesn’t mean you know how to pull off this look.

So read on as we tell you exactly how you can nail the shabby look, so that there’s actually a good dose of chic in it.

T-Shirt

A shabby chic ensemble will involve copious layering, and a T-shirt is the first step to achieving this. Opt for a cream or white T-shirt that’s distressed, with holes at the neck or at the hem.

Hoodie

No shabby chic outfit is complete without a hoodie that’s as easy-breezy as the rest of you. Throw a sleeveless hoodie on top of your T-shirt for a perfect second step to the laidback look.

Jacket

Finish your top-half layering by slipping into a jacket in khaki or in black. Green parkas and dark bomber jackets are both good bets.

Shoes

You have to have the right kicks with an outfit like this. Opt for high-top sneakers in a neutral tone, or dark brown boots if you want to give off a darker vibe.

Accessories

A simple dog tag or single chain is sufficient in the jewelry department. If it’s cold out, you have the perfect excuse to layer on the scarves and the beanie. Tie a chambray shirt around your Rick Owens shorts for the finishing touch.

You maybe have taken the bold step of investing in a pair of Rick Owens shorts, but don’t simply dip your feet in the shabby chic waters. Go the whole nine yards with a meticulously put-together shabby chic outfit.

These Rick Owens aren’t too shabby—or are they?
