2024 seems to be in competition to bring back as many controversial fashion trends as possible and, if the latest trend to take hold is anything to go by, I’d say it’s winning. Thankfully I have to admit, this is one item I’m actually pretty happy to see making a comeback, as unlike some of the less wearable trends that have somehow found their way back into our wardrobes (butterfly tops and circle belts, I’m looking at you), the revival of the jort, or jean short, is actually a welcome addition to my wardrobe. You see where the jort excels is in its versatility.
Not only can they easily be dressed up or down and for a multitude of occasions but they’re also perfect for all weathers, from the current we seem to be having to sunnier days that are hopefully on the horizon. Plus, they come in a variety of washes, from chic dark denim to more relaxed light washes and even ecru and , meaning there's plenty of options available. One thing I will say about 2024's take on the jort, is that length is key.
While in the past it's been anything goes, this season the jort falls in a very select area: at the knee or an inch or so either side. Hotpants or denim are definitely off the table (at least for now) and, when it comes to fit, the best jorts fall loose at the leg for a boyish charm. Still need convincing or wondering how to wear jorts in 2024? Well what better way to show just how great they are than by compiling an edit of jort outfit inspiration from all my favourite inf.
