High Waisted Denim Shorts in the Luxe Shorts Edit
Luxe Shorts is a tight edit of 30 pairs built around one idea: high waisted denim shorts that fit properly and feel considered. Almost every pair comes from Judy Blue, the denim line known for its full size range, and many styles come in plus size too. There is also one pair of linen shorts for the hottest days. Prices run from $24.95 to $55.95, with a median of $49.95.
What You Will Find
- Slim high waisted shorts: clean slim cuts, some with star splatter or star stud details and handy cell phone back pockets.
- Rigid dad shorts: a looser, rigid denim shape with raw side seams or cut off hems for a relaxed fit.
- Cuffed shorts: classic cuffed hems plus a shearling cuff version that adds texture.
- Bermuda shorts: longer mid rise and double button Bermuda styles with back flap pockets for more coverage.
- Tummy control shorts: several pairs with tummy control waistbands, including fray hem, cuffed and garment dyed washes.
- Detail pairs: rhinestone decor, western embroidery, color block denim and a criss cross waistband.
- Trouser shorts and linen: a tailored high waisted trouser short and a breezy pair of linen shorts.
How to Find Your Fit
Start with length. Slim shorts and cut offs show more leg, while Bermuda shorts fall closer to the knee and suit days when you want more coverage. Then think about the denim itself. Rigid denim holds its shape and softens with wear, while stretchier pairs move with you from the first day. If you want a smooth line under fitted tops, a tummy control waistband is worth a look. Compare your waist and hip measurements with our size guide before choosing a size.
How to Style Luxe Shorts
- Tuck a fitted bodysuit or tee into slim high waisted shorts to show off the waistline.
- Pair Bermuda shorts with an oversized button down and sandals for an easy city look.
- Wear the western embroidery pair with a graphic tee and boots for concerts and festivals.
- Dress up the trouser shorts with a blouse and heels for brunch or a summer office.
- Throw the linen shorts over a swimsuit for beach days.

Caring for Your Denim Shorts
Follow the care label first. Wash denim inside out in cold water to keep the color rich, and air dry when you can so the fit stays true. Wash embellished pairs gently so rhinestones and studs stay put. Curious about the fabric itself? Read more about how denim is woven.
