Alexander Wang started the trend of neo-grunge with his denim shorts, which has added to the casual chicness of New York City street style.  Dressing casually never looked so good, especially when edginess is part of the appeal.  Take Kate Moss and Erin Wasson, for example, who are the coolest models notorious for pairing an awesome rocker t-shirt with frayed shorts as they step out of their apartments and out to almost every summer festival.  Denim shorts elude confidence, while high-waist shorts show off a truly sexy figure.  Girls in New York are pairing them with a deep v-neck tee or a cotton tank and t-strap flat sandals for a look that so easily incorporates comfortable fashion staples readily available in every closet.
