As summer approaches, the search for the ideal pair of denim shorts becomes essential for a comfortable and stylish warm-weather wardrobe. Abby Wilson, a fashion enthusiast and size 12, has tested and reviewed seven new pairs from popular high-street brands, each bringing their own blend of style, comfort, and fit.
Starting with the M&S Mom High Waisted Shorts, Wilson admires their unique boxy shape and chic color options available in medium indigo and soft white, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Nonetheless, at £25, she finds them slightly expensive for the quality, rating them a 3.5 out of 5.
Next, the New Look A-Line Denim Shorts catch her attention for their flattering yet slightly boring style. Priced originally at £27.99 and reduced to £20.99, the shorts score a 2.5 out of 5 for their comfortable fit but lack excitement in design.
The New Look Blue Frayed Hem Denim Shorts, however, receive a disappointing review due to their revealing cut, with Wilson rating them only 1 out of 5 despite their affordability at under £20.
Venturing into tailored styles, the F&F Linen Blend Pleated Tailored Shorts impress with their chic navy color and practical design, although they run large. Priced at £22.50, they earn a 3 out of 5 for their quality and versatility.
Primark also offers standout options, showcasing Bermuda Shorts that strike a balance between stylish and comfortable at £13, and earning a solid 3.5 rating. However, the Primark Rope Tie Denim Bermuda Shorts impress Wilson the most, with their elasticated waist and unique design, receiving an excellent rating of 4.5 out of 5 for both comfort and style at just £15.
The reviews highlight the importance of choosing denim shorts that not only fit well but also align with personal styles. With these options from high-street retailers, shoppers can explore various styles this summer without breaking the bank, offering a promising outlook for a fashionably enjoyable season ahead.
