Jean short season is officially here. If you’re like us, you may be dreading putting on anything other than leggings or activewear, but if you want to serve looks as you frolic around this summer, you’re going to want a pair or two. “Jean shorts are one of my favorite trends right now,” says stylist and lifestyle blogger Liz Teich. “Even though they can be tricky on many figures, if you find the right fit they can look youthful and sophisticated.”
And you’re probably wondering how you’re supposed to find a pair that fits right, especially when shopping online. Ryan Gale, New York-based stylist and founder of By Colby, likes to start with brands she’s familiar with. “I’ll head straight to the review section to check out what other shoppers thought about the fit and style of the product. If I’m really unsure of what size to purchase, I’ll check out the size chart available or I’ll purchase two different sizes in the same item,” explains Gale.
Teich shares another tip to “take the waistband of the pant or jean short and wrap it around your neck.” This may sound weird, but she says that “most of the time if it fits your neck, it’ll fit your waist.”
When looking for a great pair, attention to material is a must. Our experts share that denim with less stretch is better quality in the long run, and won’t sag as much over time. “Great denim should be durable and last with you,” says celebrity stylist Andrew Gelwicks. “Jeans should be a permanent piece for you. I have jeans from over a decade ago. When you’re shopping, you can feel it and realize it’s a good piece worth your money.”
