As soon as the temperature hits 75°F, we’re pulling out the short sleeves, shorts, and sandals. With summer a little over a month away, it’s time to start updating our wardrobe for the season. First things first, we’re swapping out our winter pants with some summer shorts.
This year, we’re seeing some familiar and classic styles come back, but also a few new styles making their run through this season, from long jean shorts (or “jorts”) to trouser shorts, short shorts and more. You can expect to see these 5 summer short trends everywhere as the temperatures begin to rise and vacation mode is activated.

5 Stylish Summer Short Trends
1. Long Jean Shorts
Long jean shorts have reappeared this year. This style of denim shorts can be casual or elevated for an in-office look this summer. Style the shorts with a linen button-up top and sandals for a casual look, or dress them up with a tank, blazer, and loafers for a more professional vibe.

2. Short Shorts
One of the newest “it-trends” this year are the short shorts — otherwise known as “hot shorts”. The coined terms these shorts have received are quite literal to their meaning. These shorts are quite short, and sometimes made with luxe fabrics. A denim short is the perfect style to wear to the farmers market on the weekends, while the leather hot short is a style to be dressed up when you’re going out in the evening.

4. Skorts
As a kid from the ‘90s and early 2000s, I absolutely love that skorts are making a comeback. I lived in these growing up, and love the way that different brands have elevated the design of them to make them functional and stylish in everyday life.
