Shopping for shorts can be an extremely daunting task. As I get older, the summer seems to get shorter and shorter much like denim shorts! Once you reach a certain age, the only cheeks that should be showing are the ones on your face, am I right? I’ve tried on a bunch of pairs of shorts this season and found that the sweet spot is around the 3.5″ to 4″ inseam. Although a couple “short shorts” did surprise me!
I’m going to break down my favorite shorts I’ve found this year in all different washes, inseams, colors, and hems!

Perfect Length
First off, these shorts from Old Navy are in that perfect length sweet spot. These have a 3 1/2 inch inseam and I find them true to size. I’m wearing in the medium wash in size 4.
{Can you believe these shorts are from JCPenney?? Not only are they super affordable but they’re also super cute and a perfect length with a 3 1/2″ inseam!
{Shorts, Camo Tee, Shoes, Peplum Top, Flats}
Although the thought of Abercrombie might give you horrific high school flashbooks, they really are coming full circle! Plus, any pair of shorts that make my sweet little kitten look at me like that are a winner in my book! These were true to size for me and have a 3.875″ inseam.
Distressed
The SP black brand from Nordstrom was a favorite of mine last year so, I knew I had to try a pair from this season. Although these say they have a 2″ inseam, I think the fraying makes them look longer. These ran true to size and I’m wearing in a size 4.
{Have you heard that Target’s not just a store for dryer balls but, their clothing has actually become “cool?” Well, now you know and knowledge is power, my friends. This pair from the new Universal Thread line is all sorts of cute. The distressed edges and uneven hem gives it a little somethin’ special. These do have a shorter inseam at 2’5″ but I still pretty safe wearing them. Makes sure to size up in this pair.
{At first glance, these might look short. Don’t get me wrong, they do look short but they actually have a 4″ inseam! I just love the distressing with the embroidery! It just makes me feel a little bit fancy. I find these true to size and wear size 4.
Colored Shorts
Old Navy has been killing the shorts game! I loved their denim shorts so much (pictured above) that it was a no brainer to try another pair. I’ve never been a chino lover myself but I think it’s the pretty pale pink that did me in. These also have a great inseam of 3 1/2″.
One more pair from Old Navy for the cheap seats in the back! This is a great look for the 4th of July and these shorts are definitely one of my faves! I don’t fit that they’re see through at all and they fit true to size. p.s. anyone spot the kitten doing a handstand?
Pull- Ons
Can we take a minute to praise the creator of pull-ons? I can fit all the bacon I want into my mouth and not have to unbuckle my pants! Soft, comfy, and the perfect length. Does it get any better than that? p.s. is anyone sick of kittens yet?
Guys, these have pom poms on them…does it get more fun that? The answer is no, my friends. These are another great length with a 3″ inseam. I find these true to size and am wearing in size small.
Have I mentioned that I can eat all the bacon I want in these? Well, folks, I sure can!! These are another winner from Target that have a great length and great comfort level!
And there you have it! This post might have been a little long for a “short” post but that’s my complete list of all the shorts I’m loving this season! So, go get your shorts on and enjoy that summertime sun 🙂
