Guide: Find the perfect shorts & jorts
The right fit makes all the difference—especially when it comes to denim shorts and jorts.
But what is actually the difference between shorts and jorts? And which model suits you best?
Here is the guide to our 4 most popular denim styles.
First, what are jorts?
Jorts = jeans + shorts. (compound word)
They are denim shorts with a longer length and a looser or baggier fit inspired by vintage jeans and streetwear. While classic shorts are often short and fitted, jorts have a more relaxed and oversized look.
In short:
- Shorts = shorter and more fitted
- Jorts = longer, looser, and more street
How to find the right size
Forget measuring yourself with a tape measure 😅
The best method is to measure a pair of jeans or shorts you already love.
Lay them flat and measure:
- the waist
- the hips
- the length
Then compare them with our size guides, which you can find with each product.
Pro tip:
Between two sizes? Size up if you want a baggier, low-waisted vibe.
