Most days in the summer, you’ll find me in denim shorts. I got so many requests to do a round-up of my favorite pairs, it felt like the perfect time to do a blog post of my top 5 denim shorts. The number one thing I look for is comfort, there is nothing worse than stiff, tight denim, especially on a hot day, no thanks. What I love about all of these pairs is they get better every time you wear them. Some of them feel like that pair you’ve had forever right away and a few others take a little breaking in but are worth the wait. One thing I’d recommend for pretty much all of these is to minimize washing. The more you wear them, the more comfortable and molded to your body they feel (some more than others, I’ll explain below).
AGolde Dee Shorts
This is the pair I wear the most. They’re SO comfortable. From the day I got them, they fit like a glove. AGOLDE sizing can run big but this pair fits me TTS (size 24). These are a high waist fit, lighter wash and have distressing with a frayed hem. I’ve worn this pair too many times to count.
AGolde Parker
This was my first pair of AGOLDE denim shorts from last summer. Super comfortable and flattering, these are a bit shorter and a lower rise than the Dee. This pair runs big (though I’ve had some tell me they ordered their regular size).
Levi’s 501 in Waveline
I’ve had this pair of Levi’s for years. This pair needs a bit more breaking in and I recommend going a size up. Once you do break them in though they are super comfortable and flattering. This is a pair I’d recommend keeping washing to a minimum.

Everlane Cheeky Denim Shorts
You can’t beat the price on these denim shorts from Everlane. The perfect length and rise, plus they are part of Everlane’s Clean Denim line which focuses on creating less waste and environmental pollution.
Levis 501 in White
Can you tell I love the 501s? They definitely take a little breaking in but for the price and how they feel once you do wear them a few times it’s hard to beat. This is the same style as my other Levi’s but in white. As with the other pair I recommend sizing up and washing infrequently. It takes a few wears to break these in.
