Summer is finally here and that means only one thing—it’s time to reintroduce denim shorts back into my wardrobe rotation. Unlike previous years, however, I’m far more excited to whip out my denim shorts this summer. Inspired by the shoe trends that have been growing for the past six months, this season promises superior styling options than the ones that came before.
No longer bound only to strappy sandals or chunky trainers pairings, I’ve chronicled 5 emerging shoe trends that look the chicest with denim shorts for summer 2024. Read on to discover my new formulas…
THE BEST SHOES TO WEAR WITH DENIM SHORTS
1. BALLET FLATS
Style Notes: Contrast the casual nature of a pair of denim short and style them up with a pretty ballet flat. Offering a comfortable stride and a polished silhouette, the denim shorts and ballet flats pairing is set to be everywhere this summer

Bow Leather Ballerina

The red shoe trend isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
2. FLIP FLOPS
Style Notes: Denim shorts and flips flops are a mainstay in my wardrobe from June until September. To give this classic combo an elevated feel this year I’ll be opting for a leather flip flop over rubber, and every now and then I’ll be swapping out my cut-offs for a trending pair of jorts.

Comfortable, cool, and so easy to style, this is a fool-proof summer ensemble I’ll always look forward to wearing.
