Denim Mid Rise Shorts

Women's Jean Mid-Rise Shorts: Baggy, Cutoff & Jort Styles

Mid rise denim shorts sit right at that sweet spot, high enough to feel secure but not as structured as a high rise cut. At Urban Outfitters, we offer these in a mix of washes and lengths, from cutoffs to slightly longer inseams, depending on how much coverage you're after. We love pairing them with a cropped denim top for a full denim look, or keeping it simple with a graphic tee and sneakers. The mid rise fit works well under longer shirts too, if you want to layer without extra bulk at the waist. These shorts are an easy staple to keep around once warmer weather hits.
