As trends come and go, the resurgence of “jorts” this summer has sparked a mix of opinions. These denim shorts, reminiscent of the ’90s skater style, have made a comeback in the fashion scene, with some praising their versatility and chic appeal while others criticize them as unflattering. Long Island-based fashion blogger Christina Miller, a fan of jorts, finds them to be a classy alternative to short shorts, suitable for various occasions.
Originally believed to have originated as DIY denim cutoffs for better ventilation, jorts have evolved into a popular fashion staple over the years. Meg Uy, an associate shopping editor at Cosmopolitan, notes that jorts offer a casual yet edgy look that has caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts. Despite initial hesitations from some fashion retailers like Afshin Haghani, the owner of women’s boutiques, the trend gained momentum as designer runways embraced the style, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
Veronica Beard, a luxury fashion company, has embraced the jorts trend by offering various styles, including a glam version coated in gold foil. The brand emphasizes the comfort and structure of their jorts, highlighting the evolution of this vintage-inspired garment into a modern and wearable piece. However, the naming of jorts remains a point of contention, with brands opting for alternative labels like “longline shorts” or “trouser shorts” to distance themselves from the negative connotations associated with the term “jorts.”
Rachel Capotosto, an online fashion retailer targeting trend-conscious women, shares her aversion to the term “jorts,” preferring to refer to them as “trouser shorts.” She believes that the name carries a stigma that contradicts the elevated fashion image she aims to portray through her brand. Despite the naming debate, jorts continue to gain popularity among consumers, with retailers like Veronica Beard seeing high demand for these denim shorts.
With fashion icons and influencers like Christina Miller advocating for the stylish potential of jorts, these once-controversial shorts have found their place in contemporary wardrobes. The versatility and comfort of jorts, combined with evolving design trends, have solidified their status as a must-have summer fashion item. Whether dressed up with heels or styled casually, jorts have proven to be more than just a fleeting trend but a versatile wardrobe staple for fashion-forward individuals.
