The Best Denim Shorts Outfits For Summer – Plus 5 Pairs We Rate
By Sarah Macken
A fail-safe summer go-to, these denim shorts outfits are perfect inspiration for now …
Not just for beachwear, the most savvy dressers know how to make a pair of denim cut-offs appear polished. For starters, try pairing them with a crisp button-down shirt. As for accessories, there’s no better way to take denim shorts out of the casual zone than with a quilted Chanel carry-all.
Take a little inspiration from the New Romantics and lead with a ruffled blouse: it offsets a pair of boyish denim shorts with aplomb. Add a bohemian belt – like this chain one – as a final flourish.
How to add a feminine touch to Bermuda shorts? Try wearing them with a silk or satin camisole and an elegant pair of kitten heels.

An airy white top with broderie anglaise details is always the perfect foil for true-blue denim, as demonstrated by style influencer Lucy Williams.
If a blouse isn’t for you, lean into a colour pop T-shirt or short-sleeved knit. Zesty shades of tangerine are a novel colour pairing with white denim.
When the weather cools, a soft-shouldered jacket is a way to add polish to shorts. Team with loafers or a pair of on-trend red flip-flops to complete the look.
