Denim shorts are a well-known summer style staple. Perfect with your favorite tee for running errands, with a blouse to grab a drink or over a swimsuit when heading to the pool, jean shorts are wildly versatile. But if you tend to shy away from the style because denim shorts are usually too short, you’re not alone.
Whether you’re on the taller side or just prefer a longer length, finding jean shorts with a longer inseam can feel impossible. Luckily, longer shorts are in style right now, so there are more options than you might think.
Just remember: When shopping for longer shorts, keep an eye out for descriptions that include words like “vintage,” “relaxed,” “dad short” and an inseam longer than 3 inches. These elements should lead you to slightly longer, slouchier styles.
Below, check out nine pairs of longer denim shorts for women that range from $19 to $148.
