Denim shorts are usually thought of as a casual summer staple. I know I wear mine with tees non-stop when I’m walking Bunny. But with the right accessories, you can easily transition your favorite jeans shorts into night.

Let’s start with the shorts. I got these denim shorts last summer and they’re still my go-to. I like the higher rise and slightly looser fit. To dress them up for night, I added a silk cami and a white blazer. To make my legs look extra long, I added my new pointy pumps. But you could also do a nude sandal to get the same effect.
