For several fashion shows now, we have seen this cut take center stage. The jort redefines both masculine and feminine silhouettes with boldness and style. Inviting a retro spirit into an outfit, this piece rises to the challenge of overshadowing the traditional shorts. Discover our selection of styles to adopt it this summer.

What is the jort?

The jort is the piece that stands out this summer season. Longer than shorts and shorter than classic bermudas, this cut is a happy medium that is about to make other lengths forgettable!

Indeed, this mid-length bottom captivates with the aesthetic it brings to an outfit. A vintage spirit takes hold of the silhouette and can either create a 2000s look in denim or anchor an outfit in the quiet luxury vibe with a piece in cotton or linen. We also see it daring with waxed fabrics and other leathers that are making a comeback this summer.

Purchased from a designer or found in a thrift store, the jort reveals itself with more or less flared cuts and varying waistlines. The models play with different waist heights and offer fabric finishes that can reflect everyone’s style.

The denim jort

Denim, which is one of the major trends of the moment, pays homage to this reinterpretation of shorts. In raw, faded, or beige tones, the cut is showcased in varying widths. The denim jort is a chameleon piece that can adapt to numerous styles.

The linen version

For a light and elegant piece, the linen version is perfect. This summery fabric can give the cut a sophisticated edge, with straight lines and a waistband. Alternatively, it can reveal a more relaxed style, with a looser silhouette and crafted with a tie at a low waist.

The jort in cotton or pleated jersey

If the suit bottom is a bit too warm for the season, opt for a jort in cotton or pleated jersey. Offering an elegant silhouette, it can easily create a dressed-up outfit for both day and evening. Pair it with a simple top, in black or white, to continue in this quiet luxury spirit.

Bonus: the reimagined sport short

It is touted as one of the upcoming trends to watch on social media: the sport short. Although primarily worn in its short, even mini version, it also dares to experiment with the jort cut. Thus, with this piece, you will be in double trend!
