As the '90s revival continues to make waves, there's an array of trends that come from one particular aspect—borrowed from the boys. What I mean by this is the playful way in which we're exploring style through loose-fit silhouettes that have so far infiltrated tailoring, basics and more. And the latest proportion play trend we keep spotting is the jorts trend.
So, what sets jorts apart from simple denim shorts? Like a Bermuda style, these tend to be longer in length, sit close to or past the knee and have a looser fit to really embrace that borrowed feel (think Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi" for your reference). Those of us that experience the trend the first time around will remember pairing them with an oversized t-shirt, but for 2023 fashion insiders have elevated the style. True to form stylish people have put their own spin on the revived style and integrated jorts into all aesthetics from classic minimalism to pretty vintage. The longer-length denim shorts can be spotted with sheer tops and dainty mesh Y2K style tops, or embracing the clean girl aesthetic with a simple tee and sandals.
As we know, it can feel daunting when expanding your style and figuring out how a trending piece can be styled. That's where I come in. I've tracked down 5 ways to style jorts to make it easier for you to try out the new style, and feel your best in them. And most of the accompanying pieces probably already live in your wardrobe.
