When the sun's out and the weather is warm, nothing is better than a cute pair of denim shorts.

If you think you can no longer wear them because you're over a certain age, think again! Denim shorts can look amazing on women of all ages, shapes and sizes.

Need some inspiration for putting denim shorts back into your summer outfit rotation? Here are six stylish looks to try ASAP.


With an off-the-shouler top

If you don't own an off-the-shoulder top, you need one immediately.

These blouses are super trendy and look great with denim shorts on sunny summer days.

Finish your outfit with a cute pair of flat sandals and you've got the perfect Sunday fun-day brunch ensemble
With a kimono.

You probably don't think to layer in the summer months because it's so warm, but you should definitely try it.

Not only do lightweight, printed kimonos offer some much-needed warmth when you're in a heavily air-conditioned space, but they're also a great way to dress up casual denim shorts.


With a plaid shirt

Another great summer layering option? Wearing a plaid shirt over a lightweight tank top with denim shorts.

Whether you're running errands or enjoying a nice afternoon in the park, this can be your go-to casual summer outfit.

With a one-piece swimsuit.

If you're planning a beach day, consider skipping the caftan or cover-up and packing denim shorts instead.

They'll look super cute over your one-piece swimsuit when you head to the boardwalk for food and ice cream cones.


With a silk tank top

Dressing up a pair of denim shorts is as easy as pairing them with a gorgeous silk blouse or lace camisole.

Look for feminine blouses in soft pastel colors or colorful floral prints.

And rather than wear sneakers, try trendy lace-up or embellished sandals.

With a denim shirt. Believe it or not, denim on denim can actually be quite chic.

Try pairing your denim shorts with a lightweight chambray shirt for a cool all-denim outfit.

If that feels a little to "out there," layer a sleeveless denim shirt or vest over black bodysuit or tee to break the denim up a bit.
