One of the most iconic and evergreen combinations is pairing denim shorts with a denim jacket. This double denim ensemble exudes a cool and effortlessly chic vibe. To nail this look, ensure that the washes of the denim pieces are different to avoid a monotonous appearance. For instance, if you're wearing light-wash denim shorts, opt for a medium or dark-wash denim jacket.

Accessorize with a black leather belt and a statement necklace for an extra touch of individual style. Finish off the look with white sneakers or ankle boots for a trendy and comfortable flair.

Dress over Jeans

The trend of wearing extra-long jeans to cover most of your shoes, even trailing on the ground a bit, with dresses was popular among teen actresses. It allowed them to wear mini dresses while still maintaining a family-friendly look. Nowadays, the combination of jeans under dresses and skirts over trousers is making a comeback. As an example, we've matched Agolde's Ripped high-rise straight jeans 90's Pinch with a 120% Lino's Linen tie-waist tunic.

Cargo Pants 

Cargo pants significantly impacted fashion in the 2000s with their numerous pockets. Now, they are back with a more stylish and streamlined look. The Denim cargo trousers, for example, are a great choice for a comfortable and versatile wardrobe staple you can wear everywhere for years. They are so comfy that you'll never want to take them off. To add a contrasting style, pair them with pointed shoes, or go for a casual look by wearing sneakers with them.

FAQ About Denim Shorts

What kind of tops to wear with shorts? 

When styling a denim shorts outfit, the possibilities are endless. For a timeless, retro vibe, you can opt for a classic look by pairing the shorts with a simple white tee, or if you prefer a darker color, a black tee can also work wonders. On the other hand, if you're aiming for a more sophisticated appearance, consider pairing the denim shorts with a patterned sleeveless blouse or a shirt. Additionally, on cooler days, layering a cotton knit over the denim shorts not only adds warmth but also adds a cozy and stylish dimension to your outfit.

Are jean shorts in style in 2025? 

This year, longer Bermuda-style denim shorts, very short underwear-like shorts, and relaxed silhouettes are all the rage. Instead of the cuffed styles we've seen in previous seasons, cut-off jean shorts and raw hems are popular, adding a casual and on-trend feel to everyday looks. However, finished hems also make a strong statement in the fashion scene.

What jacket to wear with denim shorts? 

There is no short answer regarding what jacket to wear with denim shorts. You can literally wear any type of blazer or jacket that matches your taste. From a tailored, cinched cotton piece to an oversized linen one to a vintage-inspired denim jacket, choose the one that most reflects your style.

What to wear with black denim shorts? 

For a casual and cute look, you can pair them with a graphic tee or a classic white tank top. If you want to transition your summer shorts into the cooler months, consider layering them with a stylish faux leather blazer for a chic and effortless look during spring or fall. Additionally, incorporating darker denim pieces into your wardrobe is a great way to add versatility to your outfit choices. To achieve an on-trend denim-on-denim look, wear shorts with a fashionable denim jacket for a stylish and put-together ensemble.
