Denim shorts=super summer staple, yes? Yes. But what the shit, Anthropologie? Your four most expensive shorts are all denim and all over $130! I would ask “Why!?” but really, we all know the answer to this question … the lust for the denim label. Joe’s, AG, 7 … I think we’re all too familiar with these overpriced names. Denim labels kill me dead.
Denim is a principle part of our wardrobes and will certainly continue to be, that is fact. But what baffles me is how one day, someone took a huge rip off the “Fuck You Consumers” bong and decided, in their money induced haze, that it would be acceptable to charge over $200 for a pair of jeans (the long ones, I’ll get back to these shorts in a sec). And what’s worse, is that we, as consumers, buy into it. We do. I mean, someone is buying these overpriced jeans, which is why they’re still haunting racks and e-commerce shopping carts the world over. We should ostrich in shame, people.
So, back to these shorts.
