These are all casual outfits that are incredibly easy to wear and make you look effortless.
Jean Shorts Outfits
1. White Button Down Shirt and Blue Jean Shorts
This is what I’m talking about when I say jean shorts can look super classy and timeless when it’s paired with the right pieces. In this outfit, we have a pair of jean shorts that are not too short.
We’re pairing it with a white linen button-up shirt. We’re styling it by tucking one side of the shirt inside the pants. This makes the outfit look more casual than a full tuck but also looks put together.
For the shoes, we’re sticking with simple white sneakers. When wearing shorts, I love how it looks when long white socks are paired with sneakers.

2. Black Top and Olive Green Jean Shorts
If you’re feeling like wearing an outdoorsy outfit in summer, this outfit cannot be any more perfect. We have a simple blank tank top and a pair of olive green jean shorts.
The combination of these two colors just scream park ranger vibes but with a cuter twist.
I’d definitely wear this outfit to hikes, camping, and even traveling.

In this next outfit, we’re adding some color to the look. For the top, pick a colorful tank top with unique patterns. Then, for the pants, wear a pair of light blue jean shorts to match with the top.
For the shoes, I’d choose a pair of sandals or sneakers.

An amazing color to pair with dark blue jean shorts is green. The combination makes the outfit look very earthy, natural, and relaxed.
For this look, we have. a cropped green long sleeve shirt. For the bottoms, we’re wearing a pair of dark blue shorts. Remember to choose a pair of longer shorts to create a more timeless look.
As for the shoes, I’d pick a pair of sandals to wear.

5. Crop Top and Blue Jean Shorts
Again, we’re putting together dark blue with green. I love these colors together.
Specifically, we have a pair of dark blue jean shorts with a subtle distressed hem paired with a dark green cropped tee.
I absolutely love the length of these shorts. It falls at a length that’s very flattering on the body. Since the top is quite simple, I think the distressed hem works for this outfit.
However, if your top is more sophisticated, I think a finished hem would match better to balance out the look.

6. Long Sleeve and Pink Jean Shorts
If you’re feeling bold, try wearing a pair of bright pink shorts! In the photo, she is elevating the outfit with a pair of heels but you can wear something more casual like a pair of flats or even a black high knee boots.
Since the pants are very bright, I’d recommend wearing something simpler on the top. A white cropped long sleeve is perfect.

7. Purple Button Up and Bermuda Shorts
Some people either love Bermuda shorts or absolutely hate them. If you fall in the “love” category, I have a great shorts outfit idea for you.
You can wear a cropped button-up shirt paired with light blue Bermuda shorts. I say cropped shirt because a long shirt will make your outfit look more sloppy since the shorts are also long.
The cropped length balances out the outfit much better.

8. White Top and Blue Shorts

For the shoes, wear a pair of sandals!

The headband piece is such a beautiful accessory! But I know it could be out of most people’s comfort zone so a more casual alternative is a simple headband.
