I tried on my grandma’s vintage denim shorts – everyone’s jealous of my haul and say they look great on me
WHEN a stylish woman raided her grandma’s closet, she was on the hunt for wearable mementos.
She found great reminders of her late grandmother, and her followers are envious of how trendy the cute clothing is.
Texas-based Haley Henry (@haleys.turn) took to social media to show off her stack of retro denim.
The vintage jeans belonged to her grandmother, Henry said in a video. The shorts provide more than just a wardrobe refresh.
“Keeping me connected to her,” the sentimental stylist wrote in the caption.
When Henry first debuted the hand-me-down shorts, they were neatly folded in a stack.
But soon enough, she swapped her own distressed cutoffs for the classic styles.
First up was a pair of high-waisted, mid-thigh denim shorts with deep pockets.
The light wash was a classic blue and the structured silhouette fit her perfectly.
Next up, Henry tried a pair of army green carpenter shorts.
Along with a zipper, the shorts had a green button that matched the fabric, creating a seamless-looking closure.
To mix things up, Henry rounded out her fashion show with a pair of cuffed shorts.
The thick material was folded up at the hem, giving her a shorter inseam and a slightly looser fit.
Henry’s viewers couldn’t believe the shorts fit her so well.
“Wow, they are just perfect,” an impressed commenter said.
Another wrote, “These are all amazing.”
Some gave Henry kudos for recognizing the value of her grandma’s clothes.
“This era of shorts is top tier,” one approving admirer said.
A few asked for specific details about the shorts.
“What is the brand of the green ones?” a woman begged. “I’ve been searching for used shorts like that.”
Others said Henry’s vintage finds looked familiar to them.
“My mom had the third pair, OMG,” said a shocked viewer.
