My calendar is packed with all the best stuff this summer. Al fresco dinners, beach trips, sports watch parties, and music festivals are on the agenda this season, and I need an outfit for every one of them. Luckily, Levi's® makes a jean short for every summer occasion. I'm usually a jeans-and-a-tee gal when it comes to dressing for social events, and Levi's® shorts elevate my look right off the bat.
Below, I've outlined the brand's bona fides—a.k.a. why you should go for Levi's® denim shorts in the first place—and how to style standout pairs from the summer lineup.
Heritage Credibility
To put on a pair of Levi's® is to wear a living legacy. The brand basically invented the jean short, and it's been a basis of summer style in the decades since, whether paired with an itty-bitty bikini top or a baggy band tee. Its iconic red tag on the back right pocket is a style statement all on its own.
Fit Confidence
Whether you prefer a classic cut or something a little more adventurous, Levi's® has shorts that fit for every body type. When you begin your outfit with jean shorts that fit exactly how you want, you pretty much can't go wrong with whatever you decide to top it off with.
Trend Authority
Levi's® has been setting denim trends since the launch of the 501s. (It's why they're called "the Original," after all.) So of course, the brand has this summer's most stylish cut: jorts that go down to the knee, or even past it. Complete the look with kitten-heel flip-flops and a fitted tee.
Versatility
The great thing about Levi's® jean shorts is that a single pair can be styled in so many ways to meet the occasion. Try out the iconic Ribcage style with a one-piece bathing suit for a rooftop pool party, a vintage soccer jersey for a day in the park, or an open-knit sweater for a beach bonfire.
Broad Selection
With so many cuts and styles in a wide range of sizes and washes, Levi's® shorts are a summer style slam dunk regardless of which pair you pick—it's all about what makes you feel good. Scroll down to start shopping jean shorts that do the style legwork for you.
