You know what they say: When temperatures rise, so should your hemlines! Shorts season is here and that's good news for the rest of your wardrobe, because the best jean shorts for women go with just about everything from t-shirts to cute floral blouses. They're wearable for plenty of occasions, too: You can pair them with comfy sneakers or comfortable sandals for a low-key look or dress them up a bit with stylish wedges!
Maybe you associate jean shorts with the bottom-baring Daisy Dukes of your youth—if so, think again. These days, there are tons of options for grown-ups that will complement every body type and personal style: cuffed or uncuffed, light wash or dark wash, classic or distressed, cutoffs, or pairs with neat hems. There are certainly no rules, but typically a higher rise that hits at your natural waistline is your most flattering bet. What's more, high-waisted jean shorts often include a contoured waistband, so you don't have to worry about that annoying gap at your waistline. You can also choose from a variety of inseams; if you don't want to show too much skin, try a pair that hits mid-thigh or below the knee.
