Longer shorts and jorts emerge as key summer fashion trends

Longer shorts, including bermuda shorts and denim shorts (often called 'jorts'), have emerged as a prominent fashion trend this summer. This shift moves away from previous years where mini-shorts were more prevalent.

To achieve this look sustainably, old jeans or trousers can be repurposed by cutting them to a desired length. Methods include leaving a raw, frayed edge for a casual look or creating a structured hem with a sewing machine.

Styling these longer silhouettes involves specific combinations to avoid a shapeless appearance. Suggested looks include pairing bermuda shorts with ballet flats for a more feminine touch, wearing them with oversized shirts for a comfortable yet neat aesthetic, or opting for a 'preppy' style by combining them with fitted polo shirts.
