Jorts Are in Fashion—7 Trendy Shoes to Pair with Them

      If you haven't heard yet, jorts are the summer trend this year. The most sought-after styles have a low-slung, loose fit with a longline silhouette that falls between the lower thigh and just above the knee. Denim bermuda shorts have been featured extensively on the SS25 runways, with designers like Filippa K, Opéra Sport, and Zimmermann offering a fresh, elevated take on this casual piece. Naturally, the fashion crowd has already embraced the trend this season, pairing them with everything from polo tops to button-down shirts.

      Though jorts might seem daunting at first, after researching and trying them on myself, I've discovered they are far more versatile than I originally thought. I personally believe that figuring out the right shoes to wear with them is the crucial first step toward creating a stylish jorts outfit. The shoes you choose will influence how you style them. For instance, strappy sandals can easily elevate a pair of jorts for a sophisticated evening look. Pointed-toe kitten heels (paired with a blazer) can make them a chic option for the office. Fisherman sandals are perfect for a casual weekend vibe.

      Below, I’ve compiled seven specific shoe styles that I believe pair especially well with this debated denim trend. And for those hesitant about wearing jorts, the outfit inspiration below might just motivate you to find a trendy new pair for yourself.
