Jean shorts have evolved over the years from a classic beach cover up to a Summer staple you can wear almost everywhere. From cute cutoffs to more polished pairs (and even a tie-dyed iteration!), there's something for everyone. It's the season for denim shorts, and if you're in the market for a new pair, look no further

1. Out-of-Office Only

Regardless of company dress code, if you work in an office leave the shorts at home. This goes for all shorts, but most importantly you can never wear jorts to work. Ever.

2. Trim the Fringe

Kevin Hart's jean shorts are frayed to the point of looking unsanitary. Keep the stray threads in check by trimming them before you leave the house.

3. One Swerve at a Time, Please

If you can call jean shorts a swerve ... Hart's multicolor tank top, burgundy Chuck Taylors, oversized aviators, and multiple pieces of man jewelry, are all too much.

4. The Length Is Key

The same rules apply here as do for all shorts. You want the hem of the shorts to hit you between one and two inches above your kneecap. Hart's are on the long side, hiding his knees and making his legs appear shorter.

Follow these four rules and you'll be well on your way to a stylish spring and summer. Just don't forget leg day.
