Denim shorts have undergone a remarkable fashion evolution, moving beyond their humble beginnings as a staple for laid-back summer vibes. Nowadays, we style denim shorts with classy blazers for a sort of business casual.
Not only that, but there’s a huge variation of styles. Short-shorts, longer-length, paperbag, bermuda, mom shorts and so many more – so where do you start?
