After seeing all the fun photos from Coachella, aren’t you ready to rock some denim shorts? That seemed to be the uniform for everyone at the concert – denim shorts paired with loose tees and sandals. For me, that’s the best way to rock them too. Especially if they’re a pair of perfectly distressed denim shorts.

Want to recreate the carefree, outdoor concert look for yourself? First start with these Rock & Republic Bumbershoot Embellished Denim Shorts. They have just the right amount of edge – they’re perfectly distressed and faded with side stud detail and a frayed, cuffed hem. Next add a graphic print tee or tank. I like the Rock & Republic Flag Embellished Tank (flag print fashions were huge at the concert!). Then throw on a pair of these Rock & Republic T-Strap Sandals. They come in black and white and feature a front zip detail. Finally, if you want to add some polish to your look, try this bright red, studded Rock & Republic Embellished Linen Blazer. It’ll pull the whole look together.

Short shorts not your thing? Go a little bit longer with some denim capris. My pick are these Rock & Republic Roskilde Skinny Denim Capri pants. Pair them with the Rock & Republic Lattice Fringe Top for a boho look, and add some complementary accessories, like strappy wedges and oversized sunglasses.

How do you rock your denim shorts or capris?
