Jorts are Mom Jeans for summer. Avoid.
And, jorts are simply Mom jeans cut shorter. Levi's is still cranking these out, for men. Possibly, a very dark wash denim in a bermuda length and tailored would be alright, but only if paired with a nice heeled shoe, like espadrilles or ballet flats and a stylish top. |

They are in all the stores and catalogs this season. |

Some are, but not all. First pic on the previous page definitely isn't a mom jean. |

| To pp who posted pics: please tell who makes the first pair. |

It doesn't matter who makes them if you don't have the 16 year old body and looks to wear them. |

Yes, in the juniors section. There is a very real reason for that. |

Disagree- you just need long, decently toned legs. You wouldn't blink twice at me in those with a white button down and flat sandals walking with my kiddo, for the good or bad. I'm 33 |

I'm 44 and wore an outfit almost identical to this (shorts slightly longer) last weekend.

| Ladies, unless you look like the model above, jean shorts are just going to look like the summer version of mom jeans on you, no matter how you style them. |

Those shorts make that very skinny size zero model appear to have big thighs. Imagine what they will look like on the average size 10-16 40 year old woman... |

| Did I miss the part where someone was actually advocating high-waisted jean shorts with pantyhose and rick-rack? |

| If you like them, wear them. For crying out loud, DC is the queen of dowdy. |
