The Y2K era has dominated the sartorial food chain in recent years, from baguette bags and charmcore to crop tops and flared jeans. While we’ve enjoyed adding these items in abundance to our wardrobes, there’s a new girl on the block who deserves our coins even more: the jort. Otherwise known as jean shorts that hit just above the knee or lower, the bottom has found its way to the top of our FYPs (once again), after taking over last summer. To no surprise, style stars and designers alike have cosigned jorts as the official it-piece to have in your wardrobe, from SZA and Hailey Bieber to the runways of Etro and Fiorucci during Milan Fashion Week’s Spring 2025 season. And as with many other trends, the denim style dates back to the early aughts, with stars like Beyoncé having donned skinny jean jorts on many occasion and Madonna’s casual looks often defined by long, oversized menswear jorts.

All this to say, jorts are so back, and this is your sign to give into the fad. Far from a thing of the past, the comfortable bottom has evolved into many iterations, from playful prints to deconstructed waistlines — so there’s truly something for everyone. Looking for a functional frayed pair for your summer escapades? Nordstrom’s offerings fit the bill. And if you’re on the hunt for a pair that can go from the office to date night with that special someone, we found the perfect pair from ASOS. Ahead, we’ve gathered the best jorts for every aesthetic and shape, from affordable finds to splurge-worthy pieces.
