How to Style Jean Shorts

Cutting your own jorts is a canon event, but sometimes they don’t turn out how you planned. If the scissors did you dirty this summer, rent your denim shorts from Nuuly. We talked to Styling Manager, Amber Rapier, about how she’s styling cut-offs.

Shortie or Longie

Long and baggy shorts are having a big moment this season. But don’t worry—short shorts aren’t going anywhere. Whether you’re feeling the breeze or the squeeze, you can’t go wrong with denim from AGOLDE + Citizens of Humanity, Amber says.

Goes Well With…

Wondering what to wear with jean shorts? The key ingredients are gonna be your shoes, belt and top. A cute blouse always elevates the look + a white tee keeps it caszh.

Dress up long shorts with loafers + socks or mesh flats. Pull on tall harness boots for a more laid-back outfit. If you’re nervous about the baggy factor, Amber says size down a bit.

Boots + short shorts are a festival classic. You can also add a kitten heel for a more polished vibe.

Go Forth + Jort

Hopefully your brain is swirling with denim short ideas by now, so have fun with it! Amber says, “If you’re thinking, ‘I want to be a long shorts person but I don't know if I am.’ That’s what Nuuly is for. Just try it.”
