WHEN you treat yourself to a pair of the best denim shorts, they become your go-to every year when the summer months settle in.

We might have had some questionable trends over the years (we're looking at you butt-cheek hot pants), but the best denim shorts are actually timeless.

They're so top tier that you can find styling inspiration all over the 'gram, from Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, to artists like Rihanna and Doja Cat.

There are two dominating trends at the forefront of fashion right now: OTT looks and paired-back no-logo chicness.

You can channel the Y2K, OTT vibe with distressed or frayed jean shorts, or opt for something more minimalist by shopping clean, straight designs.

Whatever you fancy, we've got you covered with our list of the best denim shorts for women to shop now.

1. We tried: Levi's Women's 501 Short Long Short

  1. (AD) Levi's Women's 501 Short Long Short, from £17.75 from Amazon – buy here

Not all women's shorts need to be bum-grazers, in fact the best ones aren't. Just look at Levi's Women's 501 Short Long Shorts, available on Amazon.

The original 501 jean style is famous for suiting all body types in a timeless straight silhouette.

As soon as we tried these on, we realised exactly why the 501 is known as such an iconic fit.

They're true-to-size, giving you a flattering silhouette and they're not too short either.

You can roll them up if you want to create a shorter design, but the cut-off style works so well with our casual summer wardrobe.

They're not super high-waisted, giving you mid-rise coverage that keeps you cool on hot days. Basically, we can't believe they're less than £18.

2. We tried: Esprit Women's Shorts

  1. (AD) Esprit Women's Shorts, from £15.15 from Amazon – buy here

Well-known for quality clothing, Esprit is on Amazon and we're loving these pastel pink shorts by the brand.

They're sporting a stylish acid-wash fade, plus they aren't too short like some, giving you comfortable coverage to enjoy your summer activities.

Ok, these definitely aren't true to size. We ordered a 30 waist and they didn't even do up, which was really disappointing because we really liked them.

They're a beautiful pink acid wash colour, cut from good quality denim, so their only fault is the sizing.

From the EDC range by Esprit, they're an easy-to-style classic that are perfect for spring/summer months.

We would still recommend buying them because for around £15, they're such a bargain. Just make sure you size up!

3. We tried: River Island Beige Animal Print Denim Shorts

  • Beige Animal Print Denim Shorts, £32 from River Island – buy here

Feeling flat? River Island are here to bring out your wild side with their Beige Animal Print Denim Shorts.

Made from cotton, they're covered in a Cheetah print with a high-rise waist and feature the classic button, pocket layout.

When these arrived, we fell in love with the colourway as beige and creamy tones are so on-trend this season.

They're really lightweight denim so could pass as being another, cheaper fabric, but they're comfortable enough and fit true-to-size.

In terms of length, they're bum-cheek skimming but the high-waist gives the illusion that they're not too short.

All in all, for £32, these are a must-have for amping up your spring/summer wardrobe.

4. We tried: Gap 3'' High Rise Distressed Cheeky Shorts With Washwell™

  • 3'' High Rise Distressed Cheeky Shorts With Washwell™, £39.95 from Gap – buy here

When you're in need of classic denim, Gap will always provide the goods – the proof's in the 3" High Rise Distressed Cheeky Shorts.

As part of the brand's water-saving Washwell™ program, these shorts are made of 5 percent recycled cotton.

The fit is so good. Yes, they're short but the raw hem crafts that all-American laidback aesthetic that Gap are the best at.

Complete with five buttons (four are hidden) doing up the high-waisted fit, they're a really supportive and comfortable pair of shorts.

For less than £40, we were impressed with the quality of denim too because it doesn't feel as cheap as other denim takes on the high-street.

For a pair of jean shorts that you can dress up or down, we'd definitely put these forward as a favourite.

5. We tried: George at Asda G21 Light Wash Distressed Denim Shorts

  • G21 Light Wash Distressed Denim Shorts, £18 from George at Asda – buy here

If George at Asda isn't your usual go-to for summery denim then you really should see the G21 Light Wash Distressed Denim Shorts.

They manage to finesse contemporary vintage, looking as though bleach has spilt and somehow created some gorgeous shorts.

And we even prefer them to other shorts from high-street retailers. Not only is the denim actually quite good quality, they're really pretty too.

Ordering clothes online can be tricky at the best of times, but thankfully, these shorts fit completely true to size which is a bonus nowadays.

They aren't bum-skimming either, cut at the perfect length with stylish fraying across the edges.

We adore the lighter tones for our summer wardrobe.

6. &OtherStories Dream Cut Denim Shorts

  • Dream Cut Denim Shorts, £45 from &OtherStories – buy here

Whenever you need to make your wardrobe that little bit prettier, head to &OtherStories. How dreamy are the Dream Cut Denim Shorts?

And they're cut from organic cotton. From the light blue, to the subtle frayed edges, these are made to be teamed with this season's pastels.

Dress them up with an oversized neutral blazer or down with a cropped tank top – you don't get much more versatile than this.

7. Good American Good 90s Frayed Mid-Rise Denim Shorts

  • Good American Good 90s Frayed Mid-Rise Denim Shorts, £130 from Selfridges – buy here

Kourtney K's Good American brand is brimming with inclusive denim classics: the 90s Frayed Mid-Rise Denim Shorts are on our Wishlist.

Their fraying has just the right amount of drama without being too garish and the faded denim wash is light enough to complement summery shades.

They might be £130 but you're paying for quality, long-lasting denim that you'll want to dig out every year when the British sun comes out to play.

8. BDG Marble Printed Denim Mom Shorts

  • BDG Marble Printed Denim Mom Shorts, £36 from Urban Outfitters – buy here

In Urban Outfitter's trademark edgy look, the BDG Marble Printed Denim Mom Shorts will definitely get you all the compliments.

Made from 100 percent cotton, they're averagely-priced and feature all the traditional denim details like five pockets and a belt hook too.

Wear yours with a colourful mesh top and oversized gold hoops for an outfit that'll get you loads of likes on Insta.

9. Mango Mom-Fit Denim Shorts

  • Mom-Fit Denim Shorts, £19.99 from Mango – buy here

Sometimes all you want is a no-nonsense, minimalist pair of denim shorts and Mango have just the design for that.

For less than £20, these light blue shorts are from Mango's Committed Collection which means they've been made using sustainable fibres or processes to reduce environmental impact.

Greener fashion is always a winner in our eyes and these denim shorts definitely look like they'd go with just about anything too.

10. Boohoo Fray Hem Denim Shorts

  • Fray Hem Denim Shorts, £15 from Boohoo – buy here

You know what would go well with Boohoo's Fray Hem Denim Shorts? A bikini top and a glass of sangria.

Seriously though, these are the definition of holiday shorts with their white frayed edges and super-light washed denim.

We're wearing ours with beige, creams and whites, what about you?

11. Stradivarius Daisy Embroidered Mom Short in Black

  • Stradivarius Daisy Embroidered Mom Short in Black, £19.99 from Asos – buy here

If you're bored of wearing florals when spring/summer comes around, then it's time to check out Stradivarius' Daisy Embroidered Mom Short.

They are far from boring. Embroidered with little daisys that pop out against the black denim, these are adorable shorts for sunny days.

 Another high-waisted gem, these shorts will look fab with your cropped bralettes, bandeau bikini tops and everything else that screams beach time.
