In the world of wardrobe staples, few things are quite as versatile as a really great pair of denim shorts. The warm weather equivalent of your favourite jeans, the right denim shorts will see you through everything from trips to the beach to nights out and brunch in the sunshine, which is why we’re a firm believer that no wardrobe is complete without some.
However just like jeans, there are so many different styles, cuts, rises and colours to choose from that finding the perfect pair can be tricky, especially when you factor in things like how comfortable they are and how flattering they fit. That’s why Marks and Spencer shoppers have been raving about its Denim Pleat Front Belted Shorts, £32.50 here.
The shorts have been racking up plenty of glowing reviews from shoppers thanks to how versatile and flattering they are. Cut in a flattering paper bag shape, they have a high waist and loose fitting legs with a slightly A-line cut that skims over your hips and thighs.
They’re made from a 100% cotton denim which means they’re lightweight and breathable, with people praising them for not being too heavy. Although they’re a classic denim material, the subtle pleating down the front and stylish D-ring adjustable belt gives them a tailored look that elevates them beyond your usual Daisy Duke-style denim shorts.
One happy customer said: “Even though they are denim I think they hang really nicely as the fabric is not too heavy. Perfect length for me. The biggest advantages of using this fabric are that the shorts are not see through and do not crease. Going to buy in other colours.”
Another wrote: “Very flattering and good quality. Long enough for wearing other than on a beach too. I thought that was perhaps a little pricey but liked them sufficiently to pay it!”
Whilst a third said: “Brilliant shorts as for once they can be dressed up. Bought in beige fabric is thick but not heavy.”
You can choose from three different colours, with light and dark blue denim and ecru colours available, and they’re available in an inclusive size range spanning a UK6 to a UK24. If you prefer a more vintage-inspired fit, Hollister’s Ultra High-Rise Distressed Light Acid Wash 90s Denim Shorts, £35 here, are a great choice.
They have an ultra-high waisted fit and a 5” inseam that elongates your torso and legs, with an A-line fit on the legs that’s super flattering on all body types. They also come in an impressive six different shades of blue, including a very retro acid wash and a dark indigo colour. Time to give our jeans a break this summer!
