I've always had this love/not so love relationship with Jean Shorts. I love the idea of wearing them because the look is so cute and relaxed but it's a little hard to wear them and feel cute and relaxed. So, after some trial and error and a little brainstorming. I came up a Jean Shorts Guide. Hopefully it'll help!
1. SHOES (the look can go from cute and relaxed to trashy and uncomfortable with the wrong shoe)
Flat sandals are your best bet. Very classic and easy!
Wedged strappy sandals in light brown or nude are perfect for dressing jean shorts up a bit and for some height. To me a wedge keeps the outfit low key and cute but with a traditional heel it seems to make the look harsh. Also, a light colored shoe is great to seamlessly elongate your legs!
The Heel is not the Jean Shorts best-friend

2. FIT (shorts accentuate the thigh and booty)
You want room around the waste and thigh. A little big is going to be more flattering than a little small.
If you have a pretty regular sized thigh then choosing shorts that hit at mid length or a little longer will be the most flattering. (ie. Lauren Conrad, Kourteny Kardashian)
If you have pretty skinny thighs (lucky!) mid length is still the flattering choice but shorter ones can work on you too. (ie. Nicole Richie, Stephanie Pratt)
good fit! good fit!

3. COMFORT
Wear them how you feel comfortable and happy
As long as you're happy and comfortable, you're going to look adorable!
On a side note:
If you don't like wearing shorts but is so hot out that you feel like you have to. I'd go with a cute basic skirt and tank top or blouse. Skirts don't hug around the thighs like shorts do so they're a really easy option!
Here are some of my favorite Jean Short looks!
