We've got good news - our denim shorts use the same fabrics and fits to create your new go-to pair of shorts for sunshine, warm weather, and good times.

Go for the classic slim style or Athletic fit for a short that feels as good as it looks, and then step up your style game this spring and summer with new fits, styles, and designs.

Our men's denim shorts come in different fits so you have a look you love always. Choose jean shorts in a slim fit or a classic style or go for Athletic Fit shorts designed for the guy who needs some extra room in the thigh. Plus, our men's shorts come in different length options so you can have the fit you want, either hitting at the knee or above. Cutoff short details like frayed hems, rips, tears and mending elevate your look so you have a style that looks good and well-worn no matter what you wear them with. Choose rigid denim shorts for a classic, vintage-inspired feel, or AirFlex+ shorts made to support your every move.

With tons of styles and even more washes to choose from, you can stock your closet with your go-to jean shorts or experiment with the latest styles. Dark washes are essential for mixing and matching with your fave shirts, and old school blue washes like vintage faded hues and rich indigoes add that classic “blue jean” style to your routine. Super light washes keep the throwback vibes coming strong with a look that’s straight outta the ‘80s and ‘90s if that’s more your thing.
