Your 2021 Jean Short Guide

 
 
 

Finding the right pair of jean shorts that hugs your booty, but does’t ride up and fits your waist, but isn’t too tight is HARD. Jean shorts = stress. Something so casual and simple in style is quite literally the opposite in practice.

This week I am covering a variety of jean shorts that will hopefully work for you! My number one suggestion is TRY AS MANY PAIR AS POSSIBLE. Successful jean short shopping will with out a doubt leave you feeling crappy and upset that nothing fit the way you were hoping IF you only try on a few pair. The more you try on, the more success you will have.

As always, if you are still struggling, feeling unmotivated or defeated, then reach out to me! I am here to help! Shopping should be fun and exciting, not daunting and upsetting. Let’s get you something you can’t wait to wear this summer to show off during your vaxxed girl summer.

I added a wide range of prices for shorts in this guide. When it comes to pricing there is something you must keep in mind: constructing a pair of jean shorts requires the same amount of time, effort, and design as full leg denim. I know that seems crazy since shorts are 1/4 of the amount of fabric, HOWEVER, think about it this way. When you are buying a pair of jeans your focus starts with the fit around your booty, waist, and thighs. The length is often altered or cuffed, and the leg style varies. It is the same for jean shorts: the focus is the fit around your booty, waist and upper thighs. Finding a pair that is so epic you could wear them 24/7 is worth the price.
