American Eagle Cyber Monday Low-Rise Shorts Sale

We love low-rise shorts with a baby tee or tank for an easy, laid-back outfit. Try a longer tee with a loose front tuck, or wear an open button-up over a fitted tank to mix up the proportions.

Start with a cozy sweater or sweatshirt, then add tights and boots for extra coverage. We like a denim jacket or roomy cardigan as a finishing layer you can take off when the day warms up.

Light-wash denim gives low-rise shorts a relaxed, worn-in feel, especially with graphic tees and sneakers. Dark washes bring more contrast to white tanks and lighter tops. Try pairing similar denim washes together for a coordinated look.

Cuffed hems have a folded edge that adds a defined finish, while frayed hems show loose threads for a more worn-in look. We like cuffed shorts with a button-up and canvas sneakers, and frayed shorts with a graphic tee and sandals.

Check the care label first, since fabric blends and finishes can need different care. Between washes, spot-clean small marks and let your shorts air out. When washing, follow the label’s temperature and drying directions, and avoid pulling on frayed threads.
