It’s Friday and I’m looking forward to a weekend with minimal plans, except for my kids’ sports games. Currently battling a cold while rewatching season 1 of Ransom Canyon in anticipation of season 2. Denim shorts are a summer essential, but finding the perfect pair can be a challenge. After trying on many, I’ve narrowed down my favorites that have stood the test of time in terms of quality, style, and comfort. Here are my top picks:
Agolde Parker Long Shorts

My go-to favorite denim shorts, the Agolde Parker Long Shorts, have lasted me three years and are still going strong. They offer the perfect balance of structure, comfort, and style, with a flattering fit that’s not too tight. The raw hem and minimal distressing add a touch of edge to the classic design. Plus, the thicker denim with minimal stretch ensures a lasting quality. Size down for the perfect fit.
Gap Mid Rise Loose Denim Bermuda Shorts

Gap 8″ Mid Rise Loose Denim Bermuda Shorts (size 27) | Shirt (size S) | Flats


Gap 8″ Mid Rise Loose Denim Bermuda Shorts (size 27) | Shirt (size S) | Flats
Another favorite of mine are the Gap Mid Rise Loose Denim Bermuda Shorts. These are loose-fitting and incredibly soft with just the right amount of stretch for all-day comfort. The 8″ drop makes them high-waisted without the tightness, providing a relaxed and flattering fit.
90s Agolde Shorts

90s Agolde 7.5″ Shorts (size 27) | Blouse (size S) | Sandals
If you’re into the “jorts” trend, the 90s Agolde Shorts are a must-have. These denim shorts offer a cool and edgy look with their color, fade, stitching, and structure. Pair them with flip flops or sneakers and an oversized top for a laid-back vibe. Don’t forget to complete the look with stylish leopard sandals.
