Taylor Swift Wore Madewell's "Holy Grail" Denim Shorts

Taylor Swift took her world tour to London over the weekend, and given that it was the first official weekend of summer, she chose a fitting look for her rehearsals at Wembley Stadium. Swift wore striped tees and sneakers with not one but two different pairs of under-$100 Madewell denim shorts.
Just as Madewell makes incredible jeans, its shorts are equally amazing (this editor, for one, can confirm), and the two pairs that Swift wore over the weekend are particularly special. The $72 High-Rise Denim Shorts in Posey Wash are described by the brand as being "holy grail jean shorts", thanks to the flattering high rise and hold-everything-in Magic Pockets. They also happen to be labeled as one of the brand's best sellers. The other pair she wore also features a high rise and Magic Pockets but with embroidered palm trees, sunshine, and seagulls. (In case you really want to lean into the whole summer thing, these are definitely for you.)
