Now that the weather has finally warmed up and spring is in full swing, I'm reaching for a timeless seasonal staple: denim shorts. Elevated, versatile, and forever in style, they work for just about anything, from beach days to errand runs and casual brunches. Few items in my closet can be styled in as many ways and still look as incredibly polished and stylish.
I've been looking to refresh my rotation this season, and what better place to look than Levi's®, a brand that's perfected denim? Levi's® shorts are high-quality and well-fitting, earning them a permanent place in my wardrobe. Although I love the classic 501® shorts, I've also been eyeing the brand's newer, reimagined silhouettes this season, like the micro shorts and relaxed jorts. They feel perfectly in line with what's trending now. If you only buy one piece to upgrade your spring wardrobe, make it a pair of these iconic denim shorts.
Micro Shorts
Denim micro shorts are easily my most-worn style right now. These pairs have a lived-in feel that looks effortlessly cool. Balance the shorter hemline with an oversized button-down or tee for an easy, polished contrast that brings the whole look together.
Mid-Thigh Shorts
Mid-thigh shorts have been everywhere lately, and it's easy to see why. The longer hem gives them a slightly edgier feel. I like to keep the styling simple with a basic tee, and then add some personality with boots and eye-catching accessories.
Jorts
Love them or hate them, jorts have been taking over. The longer, relaxed fit gives them a laid-back feel that still looks intentional and undeniably chic. My favorite way to style them is with a fitted tank or baby tee to balance the volume, then finish the look with sleek sneakers or a heeled sandal.
Statement Shorts
I've been loving adding simple patterns into my wardrobe lately, and accented denim shorts feel like the most foolproof way to do it. These styles make classic denim look all the more interesting. I like to pair them with a simple top and let the shorts do all the talking.
