Who wear short shorts? Not me! With summer around the corner, it's truly time to ditch restricting pants and throw on some shorts. When I was younger, shorts were easy picks. But as I got older I am definitely more aware of the length. My best advice for how to wear denim shorts as an adult is to find ones that are long enough to cover your butt, comfortable enough to wear all day, and ones that aren't tight around the thighs.

I am taller (5'8") with long legs and thicker thighs so it has always been a challenge finding that "perfect fit". Even so, through the years I've found a few great pairs that would look great on anyone! Denim shorts are a crucial wardrobe component so I wanted to share the top four denim shorts I own. These shorts are truly amazing and literally look good on most body types!
Right: Mid-Lenght Shorts / Silk Cami / Jean Jacket / White Tennis Shoes / Belt
These are the four I have on rotation.
