J Brand Rolled Bermuda Shorts

Every time I walk out the door, I see women wearing the longer straight denim shorts and Capris. They're a hot summer trend that flatters women of all ages. Call them what you want—long shorts, peddle-pushers, Bermuda style, Capris—they’re a fun, stylish choice for women over 50. What I love: They aren’t the baggy, boxy shorts, which rarely look good on women at any age. Also, they look great with flat sandals. Take, for instance, the J Brand Rolled Bermuda Shorts ($176.00) above. I love the roll-up look, don't you? Below are more denim short. Be sure to look at jean shorts at Jones New York and Beall's Department Store, both on sale right now for $19.99.
