Denim Shorts Outfit Ideas

Denim shorts are a summer wardrobe must-have. While it does take trial and error to find the perfect pair, there are so many cuts, lengths, and washes; there’s a pair out there that will flatter you and your body type. My summer uniform usually involves the simple outfit formula of denim shorts with a graphic tee and slide sandals. Just like jeans, denim shorts can be dressed up or down too. Throw them over your swimsuit at the beach or pool for a relaxed look. But if you want to take them up a notch, here are five elevated denim shorts outfit ideas.

Denim Shorts Outfit – with a pretty blouse

A chic way to dress up a pair of basic denim shorts is to pair them with a pretty blouse. Opt for a non-distressed pair, and add a belt to complete the look.

Bermuda Shorts Outfit – with a button-up shirt

A crisp white button-down is a classic option with your denim Bermuda shorts. Tying the front helps define your waist and elongate your legs.

White Denim Shorts Outfit – with a blazer

Adding a blazer is another great way to elevate your denim shorts and tee outfit. And with fall right around the corner, it’s the perfect transition look.

Denim Cut-Offs Outfit – with a kimono

Instead of a cardigan or jean jacket, try wearing a kimono with your tank top and jean shorts. A kimono instantly adds a fun boho vibe to the look.

Hemmed Jeans Shorts Outfit – with a shimmery shacket

Pairing a shacket with a colorful cami and denim shorts outfit is a chic combination that will take you from day to night.
