STYLING
TRY OUT THESE 4 EASY WAYS TO STYLE JORTS
By Ayis Stephen-Diver, 8 June 2026
Few items divide opinion like the jort, AKA the love child of jeans and shorts. But recently, jorts have become shorthand for a distinctly oversized breed of denim – and love them or hate them, you simply can’t avoid them. Stroll through any major city and you’ll spot them in abundance. And this summer, you can trust jorts to suit every plan – they’re roomy, comfy and easy to dial up or down. Still on the fence about them? Scroll for four foolproof ways to style men's jorts.
#1: PAIR LONGLINE JORTS WITH A POLO SHIRT
If you’re new to the world of jorts, it may be best to start simple. And if you ask us, nothing's easier to style than a mid-blue wash. Like jeans, jorts come in various lengths and fits. Take this Jack & Jones pair for example – it boasts a calf-length cut and baggy fit, ideal for all your casual summer plans. Just grab a polo shirt with a slightly fitted silhouette to even out the oversized silhouette of the jorts. Load up on the Y2K feels with techy trainers and a crossbody bag for an instant festival-ready look.
GET THE LOOK:
01: Jack & Jones super baggy jorts in mid blue, £35
02: Nike Air Max TL 2.5 trainers in black, £164.99
03: Bershka Monogram crossbody bag in black, £22.99
04: Polo Ralph Lauren icon logo short sleeve stripe rugby shirt, £175
#2: COLOUR-DRENCH NEUTRAL JORTS
The secret to styling neutral denim is to style it with more neutrals. Colour-drench your jorts with beiges, chocolate browns and tans for a dimensional, considered look. This palette is ideal for your upcoming staycation or holiday retreat. And you can elevate the look even further with help from a print; a striped shirt layered over a white tank top screams holiday ease. On the topic of shoes, leave your trainers at home. Instead, slip into Birkenstock Bostons for that relaxed, effortless summer appeal.

01: ASOS DESIGN loose denim jorts in yellow tint, £28
02: Birkenstock Unisex Boston clogs in taupe suede, £140
03: Bershka Ribbed vest top in white, £12.99
04: Prohibited short sleeve revere collar stripe linen mix shirt, £57
#3: SPOTLIGHT EMBELLISHED JORTS WITH BASICS
Just like jeans, denim jorts have become a canvas for customisation. Casual at its core, they take on a different flavour depending on the addition of logos, prints and embellishments. These Courtside black jorts lean into the latter – look closer and you’ll notice beads and distressed details, and there's even an embroidered logo on the back pocket. So, if you wanted a pair for after-dark affairs, add these to your wishlist. Give them their main-character moment with help from basic, pared-back essentials – think a plain black T-shirt and penny loafers. Accessorise with a New Era hat and silver jewellery to complete the look.
