The perennial favorite among bikers, heshers, and wrong-side-of-the-tracks social outcasts, the cut-off denim vest has finally caught on with the fashion set, and has piqued the interest of our denim-obsession minds—and closets. We're loving this perfect little piece because it's sort of androgynous, a touch rough around the edges, and it's a sure-fire way to add a some tough-sexy appeal to a wispy summer dress. Inspired by this latest must-have denim topper, we've gathered a few chosen looks to help you channel that inner biker chic—and get your fashion motors running.
