19 Pairs of Jean Shorts to Add to Your Wardrobe

Christian Vierig

It’s officially that time of year when most daydreams center around summer: what to do, where to go, and arguably most importantly, what to wear. As we begin to take stock of our warm-weather wardrobe, one of the first things that comes to mind is denim shorts. While many of us shamefully took an extended break from pants during the pandemic, it’s high time to get back on the bandwagon and start wearing jeans again. Consider jorts your sartorial amuse-bouche.

As with most denim pieces, when you find a good pair of jean shorts, you should hold onto them for dear life. Because a really great pair of shorts—the kind that seem like they were made for you—is timeless. Dress them up with a bodysuit and a pair of block heels for a balmy night out, or keep your look laid-back with a tee and sneakers. Does anything scream “Cali cool” more than a bikini top and cutoffs? I think not.

Whether you’re in the market for an entirely new lineup of shorts or just looking to scoop up something new, the time to shop is now—before temperatures start to really soar. From high-waisted styles designed to show off your thighs to hidden gems from Amazon, we’ve found something for everyone. Here, find 19 stylish pairs of denim shorts to add to your cart, pronto.

A classic if there ever was one. These light-wash cutoffs from Levi’s are a spring/summer staple for a reason.

These shorts are somehow skirt-like without veering into skort territory. Whatever you want to classify them as, they’re undeniably chic.

If you’re searching for the perfect short that’s not too, well, short, Citizens of Humanity’s best-selling style perfectly toes the line. I couldn’t help but wonder, is there hope for Bermudas after all?

Cowboy High-Rise Jean Shorts

Reformation knew exactly what it was doing by naming these shorts “cowboy.” I for one will be living my best Wild West It-Girl fantasy in these all summer long.

You really can’t go wrong with any of Good American’s offerings, but this style is particularly on point.

Agolde jeans have already won the hearts of fashion editors far and wide. And these shorts, which offer a slight twist on the classic style, are sure to win you over, too.

White or off-white denim is easier to dress up than blue denim—that’s a fact. Frame gives added flair to this style with square-front pockets and a double button closure.

Diagonal Stripe Block Denim Shorts

If you, like many (ahem, me), haven’t yet mastered the peekaboo waistband trend, these sit on your hips perfectly.

Levi’s Side-Chain Denim Short

You’ve heard of accessorizing with chains before, but never quite like this.

Can’t decide between a light, medium, or dark wash? Go for a patchwork pair. Problem solved.

A paper bag waist adds a hint of femininity, and is also super practical for tucking in tops. Double whammy.
