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!
