You may love pants just as much as the next guy, but sooner or later, you have to let your legs breathe and get some sun! That’s when our favorite warm-weather essential comes in: shorts! These days, men’s shorts come in lots of different varieties and colors besides basic blue. There’s the popular plaid, cool colors and on-trend camo to choose from, too!

Check out a handful of our current favorites below. To see even more, check out our men’s shorts selection HERE.

1. Lucky Brand Plaid Cargo Short, 2. Lacoste Classic Bermuda, 3. Levi's® Men's Ace I Cargo in White Twill, 4. Brixton Toil Chino Shorts, 5. Lucky Brand Flat Front Shorts in Pomeian Red, 6. Lucky Brand Camo Cargo Shorts

We all know how popular horizontal stripes are; lately, we’ve been seeing stripes of a different kind popping up in the world of denim: railroad stripes. Besides on-trend style, the vertical stripes add a leg-lengthening factor (which is always a good thing!). Check out a few of our current faves from The Denim Shop:

1. Hudson Bacara Cuffed Straight Cuff in Peach, 2. Hudson Croxley Mid-Thigh Short, 3. Free People Railroad Cut-off Short, 4. !iT Denim Harvest Crop in Cerise Rails, 5. !iT Denim Picnic Slouch Shorts in Rails

The colored denim trend is going strong this summer, and inseams are getting smaller as temperatures get higher!

Colored shorts are an easy, breezy way to freshen up a warm-weather wardrobe. Pair them with neutral tops for a subtle look, or do a little colorblocking with a bright color up top—anything goes!

Check out a few of our favorite colored shorts from our junior denim brands:

1. Mavi Jeans Tiara Low-Rise Cuffed Short in Pineapple, 2. Volcom "What The Twill" Short in Peach Sherbet, 3. Big Star Remy Low-Rise Cuffed Short in Wild Berry, 4. !iT Denim Coachella Short in Canyon, 5. Mek Denim Chasia Jean Short in Tomato, 6. Levi's Junior Shortie Short

We like to think of shorts as that happy medium between pants and skirts, a versatile warm-weather essential that we wouldn’t want to be without. Even casual shorts can look impressively put together when done right.

Here are just some of our current picks:

1. Trina Turk Aero shorts: The refined pleating and chic khaki color give these shorts such a tailored feel.

2. Lilly Pulitzer Callahan shorts: Pair these pristine navy shorts with your nautical-inspired tops this summer!

3. Brigitte Bailey Nikki pleated shorts: This high-waisted number is sassy enough for a night out on the town.

4. Calvin Klein Jeans linen Bermuda shorts: Quite possibly the perfect vacation shorts.

5. Juicy Couture Bedford sailor shorts: The brass sailor-inspired buttons add a simple yet noteworthy touch to these shorts.

This summer, our favorite denim trends are proving to be the most versatile items in an ever-growing wardrobe. We’re certain that these endlessly wearable styles will find their way into heavy rotation in your ensembles as well.

Without further ado, here are the most note-worthy denim trends to stock up on this summer:

Flared and Wide Leg: Whether you opt for the vintage look of a bell bottom or flared leg jeans, or the tailored, leg-flattering shape of a wide leg trouser jean, these silhouettes are here to stay. Wear the 7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom with your favorite pair of platform sandals, and the Bentley Trouser from Paige Premium Denim with a pair of sexy pumps.

Cuffed and Cropped: These styles are quickly becoming the go-to jeans for warm-weather months. They’re super versatile, and can be worn with either flats or the highest of heels. Check out the Hudson Bacara Cropped Straight Cuffed jeans or the 7 For All Mankind PFD Featherweight Seamed Utility Skinny jeans.

White Hot: You know the old saying “never wear white after Labor Day”? Well, toss that out the window because white is a great year-round color, particularly in the summer. Do a pair of sexy white shorts like the Hudson Venice Cuffed Short, or a pair of slim boot cuts like the Hudson Beth Baby Boot. White denim looks even more summery when paired with nautical-striped tops.

Welcome to spring fashionistas! It’s an exciting time for us as we pack away our snow pants and don a new look. Start with the bottom and the rest will fall into place. We have everything you need to make spring your season for sensational style. 

Rock out in retro fashion with a hot pair of premium denim flares or bell bottoms this spring. True Religion presents a modern lean flare that fits and feels absolutely amazing! The Carrie has a low rise, slim fit from the hip to the knee, and wide flare leg that breaks at the calf for an elongated shape. For a little less flair but a fiercely fashionable look, the Ferris trouser from Hudson flaunts a low rise, slim thigh, and wide flare leg that breaks below the knee for a long, lean look. Add length and accentuate your figure in a pair of premium denim flares or bell-bottoms this spring and channel your inner-rock star.

Add a touch of sophistication and make your wardrobe pop with a perfectly-fit pair of white trousers. And don’t just take it from us; white trousers were a hot item on runways last fall and this spring. No pants fit quite like 7 For All Mankind. The 7 For All Mankind Bootcut in Clean White is a low rise jean featuring a slim fit in the thigh that widens at the knee to a classic bootcut leg. If white trousers aren’t for you, a new fit from 7 For All Mankind, the Kaylie, is a low rise trouser that breaks at the calf to a boot leg opening. The dark Featherweight is a saturated indigo wash on soft and drapey 6.5 oz. stretch denim.

Spring is the perfect time to break out the crops and shorts to enjoy nice days in the sun’s rays. Turn to a heady blend of style and comfort in the Joe’s Jeans Best Friend Rigid Kicker Crop. The faded rigid denim crop features a slouchy mid rise, relaxed fit, and tapered leg opening. Roll or cuff, based on your taste.

Welcome spring with a new pair of trendy bottoms. If you get the bottom right, the rest should fall into place. Remember, style is all about the individual. Do what works best for your taste and if you ever need assistance, we are always open!

Who wears short shorts? Celebrities do, that’s who. So many celebrities have been seen walking around this summer in short shorts . I guess if they have the body, which they do, why not show it off? There are a couple different trends for the shorts among them.

People like Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, and Nicky Hilton have sported the frayed look for their short shorts. To get this look, all you have to do is cut a pair of your jeans into tiny little shorts and wash in the washing machine and they will come out with the fray on the bottom of them. Pair your frayed short shorts with a tunic or sleeveless tank and you are all set. And then you too can look like a celebrity.

Another trend with the short shorts with celebrities are the cuffed shorts. Stars such as Hayden Panettiere, Audrina Patridge, Mariah Carey, and Lindsay Lohan have all sported cuffed short shorts. But beware! Some of the shorts these celebs have been wearing cost $160 and much more. A little much for a pair of barely there shorts, right?

Dressing like a celebrity does not have to cost as much as you think it would. You can get a pair of 575 Denim shorts for just $117!

A couple of celebrities have come out with clothing lines and accessories that can fit into most people’s budgets, and they even wear the clothing themselves. Amanda Bynes has released a clothing line for a store called Steve and Barry’s, in which nothing is over $30. Amanda was seen wearing one of her blue strapless dresses from her own line. The dress only retails for $11. Another celebrity that has come out with affordable fashion is Tori Spelling. She sells affordable jewelry on the Home Shopping Network. She comes up with inexpensive costume jewelry that she also wears herself. So, who says that you have to break the bank to look like a celebrity, instead just buy the celebrities’ fashions that they sell.
