Summer is coming, and that means denim shorts weather. It felt like the perfect time to update my round up of my top 5 denim shorts. The number one thing I look for is comfort, there is nothing worse than stiff, tight denim, especially on a hot day, no thanks. What I love about all of these pairs is they get better every time you wear them. Some of them feel like that pair you’ve had forever right away, and a few others take a little breaking in but are worth the wait. One thing I’d recommend for pretty much all of these is to minimize washing. The more you wear them, the more comfortable and molded to your body they feel. One thing is for sure, I can not wait for shorts weather.
Top 5 Denim Shorts
AGolde Dee Shorts
This is hands down one of my favorites. They’re SO comfortable. From the day I got them, they fit like a glove. AGOLDE sizing can run big but this pair fits me TTS (size 24). These are a high waist fit, lighter wash and have distressing with a frayed hem. I’ve worn this pair too many times to count.
Madewell Relaxed Denim Shorts
I got this style from Madewell last year and they’re super comfy. They’re mid length, sit a little bit lower on the hips (I sized down) and have a tiny side slit. They have a tiny bit of stretch but I like that they still feel structured.
Levi’s 501 High Rise Shorts
I’ve had this pair of Levi’s for years. This pair needs a bit more breaking in and I recommend going a size up. Once you do break them in though they are super comfortable. This is a pair I’d recommend keeping washing to a minimum.
AYR The Day Off
Looking for denim shorts that already feel like they’re perfectly broken in? Want a pair that aren’t too short? Let me introduce you to AYR’s The Day Off. A little bit of stretch, a longer inseam, and according to reviews, SO comfortable to wear.
Levis 501 in White
Can you tell I love the 501s? They definitely take a little breaking in but for the price and how they feel once you do wear them a few times it’s hard to beat. This is the same style as my other Levi’s but in white. As with the other pair I recommend sizing up and washing infrequently. It takes a few wears to break these in.
