There's still life in this summer yet, as the last week of truly glorious weather has proved. This, however, poses a conundrum—just as I was gearing up to embrace autumn, now I find myself wanting (and needing) to wear summery pieces again. It seems like the rest of the industry is sharing the same sentiment as, this week alone, I've seen so many people wearing and searching on Google for shorts again. Specifically white denim shorts.
Brighter than their blue counterparts, the white denim shorts trend contributes a fresher and more polished energy to a warm-weather outfit. Pairing well with black accessories such as a sleek leather belt or shoulder bag, as well as bolder statement pieces, white denim shorts are akin to a blank canvas—something you can style however you see fit.
Cropping up across high street and designer brands this summer, white denim shorts have officially moved into the mainstream. Already a staple in so many influencer wardrobe rotations, scroll on to discover how the style set are wearing white denim shorts now, and shop our edit of the best styles.
HOW FASHION PEOPLE ARE WEARING WHITE DENIM SHORTS
1. WHITE DENIM SHORTS + WHITE SHIRT
Style Notes: Nothing screams summer time like an all-white ensemble, and a crisp white shirt and denim shorts pairing is one of my favourite combinations out there. Layer up with sleek accessories for an ultra-polished silhouette.

Every great wardrobe starts with a white button down.
A surefire way to make your outfit look pulled together.
The jorts trend is on the rise this summer.

Style Notes: The logo tank top trend is taking off this summer. Offering an elevated tank on a classic summer tank, this new-season trend pairs perfectly with white cut off shorts.
