Y2K Retro Polka Dot Design Denim Shorts Jorts

Black denim jorts cut to a knee length with a straight, baggy leg and a mid waist fit, covered all over in grey polka dots. It's the kind of shorts you'd wear to a warm afternoon in the city or a friend's birthday barbecue. A star-shaped charm hangs from a carabiner clipped to the front waistband, and there are front and back pockets with a standard button and zip fastening.

These are easy to style because the polka dot pattern and the star charm do most of the work for you, so you can keep the rest of the outfit pretty simple. They're versatile enough to go from a fitted white baby tee tucked in to an oversized band tee left loose. The unique star carabiner charm is a proper Y2K detail that makes them feel considered. Try them with ballet flats and ruffle socks like in the photo, or swap those out for chunky trainers or platform boots. A simple black belt or some layered silver jewellery works well too.

Designed to add to the outfit, it slots easily into a simple daily errand outfit and just as easily into a more thought out tailored weekend fit. It works with many outfits across loads of aesthetics, not just Y2K.
