There’s still life in this summer yet, as the last week of truly glorious weather has proved. This, however, poses a conundrum—just as I was gearing up to embrace autumn, now I find myself wanting (and needing) to wear summery pieces again. It seems like the rest of the industry is sharing the same sentiment as, this week alone, I’ve seen so many people wearing and searching on Google for shorts again. Specifically white denim shorts.
Brighter than their blue counterparts, the white denim shorts trend contributes a fresher and more polished energy to a warm-weather outfit. Pairing well with black accessories such as a sleek leather belt or shoulder bag, as well as bolder statement pieces, white denim shorts are akin to a blank canvas—something you can style however you see fit.
Cropping up across high street and designer brands this summer, white denim shorts have officially moved into the mainstream. Already a staple in so many influencer wardrobe rotations, scroll on to discover how the style set are wearing white denim shorts now, and shop our edit of the best styles.
