The Best Denim Shorts for Summer

Fashion

2 May

best denim shorts for summerYou have probably noticed that my single favorite item of clothing is a good pair of jeans. That being the case, it’s probably not a surprise that my favorite summer staple is a good pair of denim shorts! I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of the best denim shorts for summer! I ordered three popular styles that I hadn’t ever tried at various price points. At the bottom of the post, I’m linking some other styles that I already own and love. Please excuse my obvious need for a tan… this is the problem with shooting content before it’s actually the appropriate season. 😉

Blank NYC Cuffed Distressed Shorts

best denim shorts for summerI’ve heard a lot of positive things about Blank NYC, both for shorts and for jeans. They have cute, on trend washes and the price point is great! The pair I’m wearing is $78, so these are in the middle price wise of what I tried. However, that is the full price, and you know I’m all about looking for a good deal! Nordstrom Rack is a great place to get designer jeans reduced prices. I picked up two pairs of shorts from there a couple of years ago (linked below) and have worn them both a ton!

best denim shorts for summerI like the cuffed raw hem, the distressing (it’s not over the top), and the color. These were the shortest of the three I tried, so even though I like them, they aren’t exactly what I’m looking for. I have plenty of short shorts but it’s nice to have some that are slightly longer to wear to the kids’ schools, you know? 😉 For reference, I’m 5’7″ and have a 32 inch inseam – my legs are long! If you don’t have especially long legs or aren’t as tall as me, these may be just what you are looking for!

AGOLDE Parker Shorts

best denim shorts for summerThese A Golde Parker shorts have been all over my instagram feed lately! Many bloggers consider them to be among the best designer denim shorts for the price. At $128, they aren’t cheap, but they aren’t bad for designer denim. There’s a ton of different color options. These were the longest of the pairs that I tried, and I love them for that! They are a modest length but not too long, which is great for summer. I know that longer denim shorts are making a comeback, but honestly the last thing I want when it’s 90 degrees is more fabric! This is the same reason I don’t like high rise shorts – they feel like too much!

best denim shorts for summerI had ordered these shorts just before the recent Shopbop sale started, which means I paid full price. While I don’t mind spending that too much for a quality item I’ll wear on repeat, I suspect you can find them on sale again if you keep your eyes peeled.

Levi’s 501 Shorts

best denim shorts for summerThese Levi’s were my favorite of the bunch. I haven’t worn Levi’s in years! Literally. But this brand has been making a comeback recently, and a post about the best denim shorts for summer seemed incomplete without them. They did not disappoint!

best denim shorts for summerThey were the least expensive of the three ($69.50) and relatively easy to find on sale. In fact, this exact pair is currently at Shopbop for less than $50. I love the rise (they are mid rise) and the fit. I’ve been looking for new white shorts so I wound up purchasing this pair in white! I did size up one from my typical size. I read reviews that they run small and that turned out to be true for me.

best denim shorts for summerI’m linking a few other styles that I own and love in the hopes that you can find the best denim shorts for summer for yourself! Did I leave out one of your faves?! Let me know!
