Denim shorts or cut-offs have long been a summer staple for me. I could link countless outfits from summers’ past that feature my beloved Rag & Bone cut-off shorts. They are my absolute favorite and they *almost* fit again, too! I can get the shorts buttoned but I can’t move, which is an essential part of my day. I didn’t realize how much I lean into a good pair of cut off shorts until last summer when I was 8 months pregnant and was absolutely lost on what to wear. I was getting so tired of dresses or let’s be honest — yoga pants, my last fitting pair of pants. But I knew I was on the tail-end of pregnancy and just held my breathe until summer was over and Gemma was here. So this summer I knew I wanted to jump right back in with a good pair of denim shorts, but I’m not quite in my pre-baby shorts. I didn’t want to re-invest in new Rag & Bone shorts because I know that eventually, I’ll get back into them, so luckily Madewell came through with a FANTASTIC pair of shorts. I’m telling you — when you find a good pair of denim shorts, you snatch them up fast.

I bought this in April I think because I knew this summer would be the summer of cut-offs. I am giving my past self a round of applause because I’ve been wearing these non-stop, especially on Instagram. If you’ve been looking for a good pair, these are one of my favorites and well under $75! They are the Madewell High Rise Shorts in Glen Oaks wash. (These are NOT the Madewell Perfect Fit shorts. I think I linked them one time on accident and want to clear that up!) You can find them at Nordstrom here or from Madewell here.  You can also uncuff them for a longer length that is just perfect! (As seen in this IG here. The same pair of shorts just rolled in this post and unrolled in the IG!)

Fit Details

The shorts fit true to size but a little loose! I’m in the 29 and I’m typically a 29 in denim. If you want a tighter fit, size down one. You can also uncuff them for a longer length that is just perfect!

Each month I create monthly capsules out of my favorite pieces, perfectly curated for each month.
