Suns out, guns out! Or in my case, legs! Finally it is starting to warm up a bit and make it possible to wear shorts and skirts. It is always a little bit of an adjustment for me to go from the covering up all winter to bearing a whole lot of leg.
I love shorts, especially denim shorts! But finding the right pair is just as hard as finding the perfect pair of jeans. They are hard to find, and what may work for one person’s body might not work for yours. Don’t fear! Keep searching and you will find your perfect match.

These shorts are such great quality. I have had them for two years now and absolutely love the fit. They run true to size, but if you are between sizes, I would suggest sizing up. Super tight denim shorts are not my favorite. These are short enough to not be bermudas, but they do have an unstitched cuff, making them easy to customize to your preferred length. You can unroll them for a bit of length or double cuff for a short short.
TIPS TO GET COMFORTABLE WEARING SHORTS
- Choose the right pair – This is crucial. Making sure your shorts fit, are a good quality, and are actually comfortable on your body will go a long way to making you feel confident. You don’t need six pairs of denim shorts, so invest in a pair that feels good to you! Don’t be afraid to size up to give you a little length if you need, or just a more relaxed vibe.
- Throw on a long cardigan or kimono – I should have included an outfit like this in my style session, but this is a great way to start! By covering the backs of your legs, adding in some length on top of the shorts, you can slowly get used to having that extra skin exposed. A kimono is also a great way to add some style to an outfit without getting too hot!
- Choose your favorites – Grab anything from your closet that feels like YOU, maybe your favorite hoodie, an old graphic T-Shirt or your most comfortable pair of sneakers. By making the rest of your outfit feel like “home,” you will be able to rock your shorts like a boss.
- Wear them at home – That’s right. Right now is the perfect time to get used to trying out new trends or styles that previously intimidated us. Throw on your jean shorts and spend the whole day breaking them in, looking at your body every time you pass a mirror, and feeling your body sit and move in a pair of shorts.
