Let’s zoom in on alternatives, and how to wear your jeans when temperatures rise!

Denim shorts for the win

Many denim enthusiasts like to stick with denim, but in a more cool way. They cut off an old(er) pair in their jeans collection that doesn’t fit so well anymore. A pair that has tapered legs, but which isn’t their favorite anymore, as they prefer straighter legs at the moment. This alternative is easy to achieve, just cut off the legs of your older pair to the length you prefer, and you’re ready to go. Of course, if you don’t have a pair to cut off, there are plenty of denim short options available in the market from brands. Different denim washes, different colors, and also in all kinds of price levels.

Alternative denim fabric options

If you don’t prefer to wear denim shorts, there are many jeans available in more summer-proof denim fabrics. These jeans are made in lighter fabrics that are a good companion, so you can even wear jeans on warmer days. The good thing is that these kinds of jeans are very easy to break in, and most of the time they’re comfortable since day one. You can segment these into summer proof.
