With summer quickly approaching, I am current rearranging my closet with all of my summer staples- maxi dresses and denim mom shorts included! One trend that came back a few summers ago has become a part of my summer wardrobe consistently & that is denim mom shorts. Between the length being “mom appropriate” enough & them being so versatile for many occasions, I now own quite a few pair of jean shorts in different colors and styles!
Denim Mom shorts
Mom shorts for women are shorts that are typically high rise & looser around the thighs. These are great for if you are a busy mom on the go (hence the name!), or just prefer shorts that are more appropriate for many occasions compared to other shorts that are too short & most of the time uncomfortable. Sharing below 10 different ways to wear denim mom shorts all summer long! This post contains affiliate links.
Outfits with Mom shorts
Mom shorts with a button down
Mom shorts with a button down is an easy, chic outfit. You can add a baseball hat & some sneakers to make it more casual, or addd some heels to make the outfit more appropriate for something like an early dinner or brunch. This is my favorite way to wear jean mom shorts because of the versatility, but also because the look is so chic! I also love how it’s great for school pick up and other things like running errands on an early Saturday morning.
Denim mom shorts with a sweater tank
Mom shorts with a sweater tank is a great summer option for when it’s very hot outside! There are so many great sweater tanks in neutral colors, but you can also add a colored one with some neutral accessories. Banana Republic tends to always have great sweater tanks, both in great neutrals and pops of color, like light pink and mauve.
Black denim mom shorts are also a great option to wear with a sweater tank with some chic, simple accessories in a metallic color. These shorts are another great staple to have since they can be worn so many ways, including dinner date! Need more dinner date ideas? I shared some in a previous blog post here- how to dress for a dinner date.
Denim mom shorts with flow top
These shorts with a flow top is a great outfit to wear on a beach vacation to dinner or lunch. Great for the day time too, this outfit is versatile depending on what shoes you wear with it.
Denim mom shorts with sneakers
Running errands? Denim mom shorts with sneakers is a great outfit to wear when on the go! Pair an easy basic tee, a hat and crossbody to complete the outfit. If you are feeling brave & confident, you could also opt for a pair of high rise shorts with a crop top.
Printed Denim mom shorts
These Printed mom shorts are a great item to wear for a fun pop of color! Add a neutral top and neutral accessories to complete the outfit. I found these great leopard ones which would be so fun to wear for a casual date night or lunch date. Since the print is so bold, I paired it with a neutral sweater tank and gold accessors that are minimal to keep the outfit chic & put together.
Denim mom shorts with a strapless top
One of my favorite ways to wear longer denim shorts is with a strapless top and flat shoes! I love this casual, elevated outfit that looks so put together, but so easy to wear at the same time. An easy way to create this outfit is to wear jean shorts and a strapless top that are in the same color story to create a monochromatic look! Black works great for this outfit when paired with black accessories.
Denim mom shorts with a vest
A vest is a great summer staple to wear when you want to wear something more than a basic t shirt, but still want to be comfortable. For this outfit, I chose a colored vest with basic denim shorts.
