Shopping
We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too.
There are tons of styles to choose from, including tried-and-true and trendy silhouettes.
Next, consider your favorite shorts styles.
Some have simple yet versatile silhouettes, while others have unique design details like distressing or an elastic waist.
In the dog days of the summer, a pair of short shorts might help you beat the heat.

What your jean shorts are made of also plays an important role in how they fit and feel.
Not all manufacturers include rise measurements for their shorts, but Ive included the information when it was available.
