The Only 5 Places I Shop For Denim Shorts
1. Express
In recent years, Express undoubtedly took boring workwear and made it functional and chic again. The same notion can be said about their denim shorts. Express stays up with all of the best trends for denim. Now that Bermudas are back in style, Express has the perfect flattering silhouettes.
Since the revival of the iconic 90s high-rise denim Mom shorts, Express continues to nail this trend season after season. One of my favorite Express denim shorts is a pair of classic high-rise Mom shorts.

Denim shorts are a summer staple and shopping for my yearly pair usually takes place online at Express! Whether you stick to the traditional mid-rise length or want to venture over to the Bermuda side, Express has versatile styles to fit all of your needs this summer.
Style Note: the denim paperbag shorts I’m wearing at the top of this blog post are Express. I’m wearing a size medium.
2. H&M
Normally I’m hesitant to stop at H&M and check out their denim selections. As a European retailer, the sizes confuse the heck out of me to the point where I feel frustrated and give up.
Thankfully, I courageously picked out a pair of stretchy denim cut-offs with the intention of returning them if they didn’t end up fitting me correctly.
I’m already such a stickler with my denim shorts and when feeling this pair I figured they would be successful due to the extremely stretchy fabric! During my last trip to H&M, I grabbed a 10 in the denim cut-offs (my usual size at Target) and headed back home to see how they would hold up.

The denim shorts held up during my most recent beach trip and I just wore them for a casual summer photo shoot the other day! The best part? The cut-offs were under $20!
3. Target
The popular Juniors brands sold at Target like Universal Thread and Wild Fable have some great options for casual denim shorts. Target denim shorts can come across as hit or miss. It’s unfortunate that right now we can’t try on anything in the fitting rooms because trying on denim takes effort to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

4. Abercrombie & Fitch
Curvy ladies, rejoice! Abercrombie & Fitch completely revamped their denim collections to be size inclusive and offer “curve” hugging denim shorts. Some of their top-selling denim shorts also come in light, medium, dark, and jet black washes. Shopping for denim shorts at A&F won’t be a hassle, either. The denim shorts sold through their online website are styled by real women, not petite models!

The curve line at Abercrombie & Fitch holds a lot of positive reviews with customers. The latest new arrivals for summer offer everything from denim shorts with distressed detailing to super high-rise boyfriend styles. A&F created their curve love line to suit more body types which I can appreciate. It’s no wonder why they constantly sell out during major sales.
5. American Eagle
One final place where I find denim shorts? American Eagle! The jean shorts at American Eagle are expertly crafted with cotton and elastane to ensure long-lasting comfort and stretch.

American Eagle also features a line of curvy denim. A pair of distressed denim shorts I’m currently stalking on their site look comfortable because it has Ne(x)t Level stretch so the shorts won’t bag out or lose its shape.
