Summer and denim shorts…they just go together. Keep reading to find out How to Wear Denim Shorts in your late 20s/early 30s.
I finally found the perfect summer outfit with Paige denim shorts. Even though my wardrobe focuses on work outfits this is a classic summer piece. I already own Paige denim jeans and finally ventured into their short department. In general, I find it challenging to find appropriate length shorts on the market. As a late-20 something female, I want shorts that are still age-appropriate and stylish.
I picked up these Paige Jimmy Jimmy denim shorts at Nordstrom in a size 24. What makes them age-appropriate, stylish and classic for long-term wear?
7 Characteristics to wearing denim shorts in late 20s / early 30s

- Length: Inseam of ~5 inches…my measurements are ~10 inches from waistband to cuff length in front (front rise) & ~11 inches in back (back rise)
- Details
- Cuff feature: elevates a pair of denim shorts to the next level
- Color
- Medium wash: classic color to stay in style long-term
