Summer never seems long enough for all the amazing warm weather trends. I always get so excited when the weather starts to warm up. My closet begins to fill up with white dresses, cute tanks, and new sandals. But one of the things I always struggle with is finding the perfect pair of denim shorts.
I shared in this bike shorts post that I have muscular legs from years of figure skating. I’m proud of the strength of my legs, but man does it make it hard to find good shorts. Most pairs hug my thighs tightly even if they’re supposed to be “loose.” It usually feels impossible to find flattering denim shorts, so I hang onto any pair I find for years.
While traveling over Christmas this year, my last good pair ripped. So around the start of May I realized I’d need to find a new pair for this year. Thankfully, that’s when I found the mom shorts trend. I’m pretty selective about my 90s trends, but I had a feeling this one was going to be a keeper.
When this pair arrived from Mango, I was not disappointed. The things that make mom shorts summer’s best trend?
- A high waist – leg lengthening and waist defining for a slimmer appearance
- The longer length – a godsend for long legged girls who show way too much leg when sitting in a typical pair of denim shorts
- A looser leg opening – no more squeezed thighs here!
Another great thing about the mom shorts trend is that the longer length allows you to roll the hem. This gives you the option to make them shorter and change up your look.
Safe to say, I’m hoping the mom shorts trend sticks around for a few more summers. Will you be jumping on this summer trend? Shop my favorite picks below.
