Baggy “jorts” – aka longline denim shorts – remain the shorts silhouette of summer 2026, with celebs (hello Hailey Bieber) and fashion editors alike embracing the trend. But let us not forget thigh-grazing shorts and Daisy Dukes, which have also been making a convincing bid for the top spot, given the ongoing obsession with Y2K style. So many silhouettes, so little time.
If you’re team jorts, look no further than Gap’s perfectly slouchy denim style or Cos’s pair rendered in white denim. Or, try giving your denim cut-offs from way back when a grown-up twist with a white tee or tank top, fisherman sandals and gold jewellery.
Whatever your preferred silhouette, the aim is to invest in a style that you’ll want to cherish for many seasons to come. After all, denim shorts only look better with wear, creating a more lived-in look. Stick to neutral denim finishes like acid-wash, indigo, blue, black and white, which provide a solid foundation for any outfit.
Like finding a pair of jeans, it takes time and patience to land on the right fit, which is why we’ve done the legwork for you. Here, Vogue spotlights the best denim shorts for summer 2026.
