The Best Denim Shorts of Summer 2022

Let’s face it: denim shorts got a bad rap. Blame all the celebrities for routinely exercising. Coachella. (Although the festival has been canceled for the last two years, Pandemic.) Jean shorts are actually indispensable for summer. And the best denim shorts go with every other seasonal feature in your closet.

The key is to look for ones that aren’t too short or too long. Bermuda shorts are proving popular, but you want to make sure they’re not too tight in the leg area. If you’re brave enough to go the almost micro route (after all, Miu Miu invited us all to go super short with our hemlines this summer), opt for pairs with clean lines, cuffs or heavily frayed edges. When it comes to washing, pretty much anything goes. You can rock dark tones, bleached tones or even an acid wash – it all depends on the cut and the brand. Patterns and sharp tones are not only acceptable but highly encouraged.
