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 challenges the traditional short. Discover our selection of models to adopt it this summer.

What is a jort?

The jort is the piece that makes things interesting this summer season. Longer than shorts but shorter than classic bermuda shorts, this cut is an in-between that is about to make other lengths forgotten!

Indeed, this mid-length piece seduces with the aesthetic it brings to an outfit. A vintage spirit takes hold of the silhouette and can either create a 2000s denim look or anchor an outfit in quiet luxury with a cotton or linen piece. 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 shop, the jort reveals itself with more or less flared cuts and more or less fitted styles. The models play with different waist heights and offer fabric finishes that can reflect each person’s style.

The denim jort

Denim, which is one of the big trends of the moment, pays homage to this reimagined short. In raw, faded, or beige tones, the cut is showcased in a more or less wide manner. 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 summer material can offer the cut a sophisticated side, with straight lines and a waistband. Alternatively, it can reveal a more casual style, with a looser silhouette and a tie at a low waist.

The jort in cotton or pleated jersey

If the suit bottom feels 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, black or white top to maintain that quiet luxury spirit.

Bonus: the reimagined sports short

It is touted as one of the next trends to follow on social media: the sports short. Although primarily worn in its short, even mini version, it is also trying its hand at the jort cut. Thus, with this piece, you will be in a double trend!
