In your jeans

Despite being one of the most versatile materials in the fashion world, denim in all its iterations often crops up as a controversial trend time and time again. But there’s no grey area here: jorts are officially back and better than ever. 

The Y2K staple may have never fallen out of favour at the skatepark, but jorts have now been co-opted by the fashionable elite and celebrities alike (no, we don’t mean Adam Sandler) in the form of chic summer ‘fits that don’t compromise comfort. While a pair with a hemline falling at mid-thigh are perfect to begin your foray into the trend, denim Bermuda styles are enjoying their moment in the spotlight with baggy and long jorts delivering an effortlessly cool aesthetic with endless styling possibilities.

How to style jorts

The main appeal of jorts lies in their adaptability, meaning one pair can just as easily embrace the blokecore trend as it does a more feminine sensibility. 

For the girl on the go, pair your jorts with a simple baby tee, sleek belt, and on-trend sneakers, before layering on a touch of frosting in the form of your everyday jewellery. Jorts are also a must-have in your transeasonal wardrobe styled with cowboy boots and a blazer to take you from cold mornings to midday heat and back down again without breaking a sweat.

As for after dark, elevate your jorts with kitten heels, a crop top, a cute mini bag, and statement bling like a bold bangle. The results? An undeniably cool girl look with a high-low contrast that is oh-so fashion.
