What denim shorts should I get?

Denim shorts have had a serious glow-up, babe. Yes, classic jean cutoffs still hit, but now we've got options for every mood. High waisted denim shorts are the MVPs for tucking in your favourite tees and creating that elongated leg moment. Mid waist styles bring casual, comfortable energy without sacrificing shape. Low rise denim shorts? They're back and honestly thriving for anyone chasing that early 2000s y2k nostalgia. Baggy denim shorts give you that oversized, borrowed-from-your-boyfriend vibe that's equal parts cool and comfortable. Bermuda shorts (yes, jorts for grown-ups) are having their moment too, offering more coverage while still keeping things breezy for summer. Stretch denim shorts are the real heroes though, giving you movement and comfort without that stiff, cardboard feel. Whether you want frayed hems, raw edges or a cleaner finish, there's a pair of denim shorts for literally every version of your summer wardrobe.

How to style denim shorts?

What to wear with denim shorts depends entirely on where you're going and how much effort you feel like putting in (both valid). For daytime, throw on an oversized tee or tank, add slides or sneakers and you're set for markets, beaches or a spontaneous run to the mall. Want to dress them up? A silky cami tucked in or cropped button-down plus high waisted denim shorts with sandals or heeled mules shifts the whole energy. Baggy denim shorts look fire with fitted crop tops or bodysuits to balance the proportions. Low rise styles work with baby tees or cropped tanks for that throwback vibe. Layer with an oversized blazer or denim jacket when the sun goes down, add chunky jewellery or a cute bag, and suddenly your denim shorts are pulling double duty!

How to style denim bermuda shorts?

Bermuda shorts get a bad reputation but styled right, they're actually incredibly chic. The trick with denim bermuda shorts is treating them like tailored pieces rather than casual cutoffs. Tuck in a fitted tee or silk cami to define your waist, add heeled mules or strappy sandals to elongate your legs, and finish with structured accessories like a leather bag or bold sunglasses. They work beautifully for situations where you want coverage but still want to look pulled-together, like wine tastings, outdoor markets or even casual Fridays at work. Avoid pairing them with anything too oversized on top since the longer length already brings volume. Keep your tops fitted or tucked, add a sleek belt if you're feeling fancy, and you've got a summer staple that's comfortable and sophisticated at the same time.
