Spring is in full swing and summer fashion is right around the corner! While we love our skirts, dresses, and rompers for warm weather, there’s nothing easier to wear or style than a great pair of shorts. From classic chinos to stylish scalloped and lace options, there’s a short for almost every occasion.
Sometimes, however, it’s best to keep things classic with denim shorts. As all savvy CF readers know, classic doesn’t have to mean boring! Read on for cute and trendy denim short picks and outfit inspiration!
High-Waisted Denim Shorts
High waisted denim shorts
Product Information: Maura High Rise Shorts, Abercrombie & Fitch. Vintage Denim High Waist Shortie, American Eagle. Moto Denim Stripe High Waist Shorts, Topshop. Bridesmeade High Waist Denim Shorts, Jack Wills. Roxy High-Waisted Hotpants, Topshop.
A look popularized by the music festival and model-off-duty crowd, high waisted denim shorts are a trendy way to show off a great figure. Since this particular cut can show a lot of leg and tends to be fitted, make sure to watch the proportions on the rest of your look. Go for a loose-fitting tank or a baggy jacket layered over a fitted top for a look that’s subtly sexy.
Looks with bohemian roots also pair well with high-waisted denim shorts! Check out starlets like Alexa Chung and Nicole Richie for further inspiration.

If you’re a fan of bold looks, colorful denim shorts might be for you! Easier to wear than their full-length counterparts due to less fabric, bright, colorful shorts will look great against a summer tan. There’s no better season to add a pop of color!
While celebrities have seemed to favor their skinnies in primary hues, spring pastels, rich jewel tones, and sassy neons are great alternatives for cropped varieties. Don’t want to make a huge impression? Try black or white denim for a look that’s eye-catching and on-trend.
