Jorts Have Re-Entered the Chat: 10 Ways to Wear Them Now

by Lauren Eggertsen

Jorts are usually never not a thing come spring and summer, but after recently seeing fashion icons such as Hailey Bieber and Emma Chamberlain churn out some pretty noteworthy jean shorts looks, I have a feeling we're about to see a lot more of the summertime staple in the coming weeks. Since it's probably been a while since you've worn your favorite pair of denim shorts, our hope is that this story will inspire you to pull them out, dust them off, and style the hell out of them.

Ahead you will find a list of 10 ways some of my favorite fashion girls are styling their jorts. Whether your go-to pair is super short or loose and knee-length, there are more than enough jean-short outfit ideas for you below. If you weren't already a fan of the jorts life, then prepare to be converted, because this wardrobe basic will 100% be everywhere this summer and we don't want you to be left behind.

All three of the items in this look are wardrobe staples, which means this 'fit will never go out of style. So grab your favorite white button-down, jean shorts, and cowboy boots and you've got yourself a stylish new look.

Nothing screams summer more than a pair of sporty sandals and a printed beachy shirt. Whether you're starting to dabble with the idea of vacationing again or not, this is a summertime outfit formula I highly recommend.

Yes, it's possible to dress up your jorts. Throw on a top with a tad more volume and compliment the look with a pair of sleek saturated sandals.

When you find yourself in an outfit slump, just go for the double-denim duo. The addition of strappy-heeled sandals will really elevate the look as will any fun jewelry of your choosing.

Add some low-key prep to your jorts with a knit polo and trendy heeled mules. In this case, I personally prefer looser jean shorts to offset the tailored look of the polo, but to each their own.

I don't know about you, but this summer I plan on living in baby tees. I love the way this one is styled with a breezy button-up on top and classic jean shorts on the bottom. Pro tip: The kitschier the tee, the better.

If you're looking for more of a transitional way to style your jean shorts, copy this look here. Adding heavier elements like a sweatshirt and lug-sole boots will instantly add a unique edge to a basic that's usually reserved for warm summer days.

Calling all blazer girls, this one is for you. While your blazer certainly doesn't have to be cropped, we happen to like the look when paired with a more relaxed pair of jean shorts. Overall, however, a blazer always looks good with jorts, period.

Transition your casual jean shorts into more of a going-out look via a printed second-skin top and sultry knee-high boots.

Chances are you bought one too many sweater vests over the course of the last six months. Well, the good news is they look really good with jorts, so you can continue to get good use out of your collection for at least another six months.
