We know you’re already tired of your old denim shorts. But with some strategic dressing, you can get more wear from your favorite pair. Just don’t wear them with UGG boots like Britney Spears!
We culled some recent celebrity outfits featuring denim shorts so you can get inspiration. Find out how these celebrities made denim shorts work this season:
1. Ashley Tisdale’s Cut-Off Denim Shorts
The 30-year-old actress wore Erin Wasson x RVCA Hish cut-off denim shorts and a plain grey t-shirt. She elevated the simple errand look with a big-buckled belt, black booties, and a leopard-printed backpack.

4. Teresa Palmer’s Denim Shorts
The new mom also had the same idea. But rather than a long-sleeved button-down, she opted for a short-sleeved one and capped off the look with a pair of flat sandals and quirky sunglasses.
