Jean Shorts With Side Slits

Jean shorts with side slits are denim shorts featuring small openings along the outer leg seam, adding a trendy touch while allowing for easier movement. They combine the classic appeal of denim with a modern detail suited to warm-weather outings.

The side slits improve range of motion, making these shorts a solid pick whether she's strolling through the park, playing outside, or spending a day at the beach. Made from soft, durable denim with breathable fabric, they hold up to everyday wear while keeping her comfortable on hot days.

Order based on your child's waist measurement compared against Old Navy's size chart rather than by age alone, since body shape varies. If she falls between two sizes, sizing up at the waist tends to give the most comfortable, lasting fit as she grows.

High-waisted styles sit higher on the waist for a secure, tucked-in look, while low-rise styles sit lower on the hips for a more relaxed feel. Both are available in our girls' denim shorts, so the choice comes down to her comfort and personal style.

Pair them with a simple tee for a laid-back look, or dress them up with a blouse and accessories for a more polished outfit. You'll find plenty of coordinating options in girls' shorts and skirts and the rest of the girls' collection.

Our jean shorts are made from durable denim built for active play and everyday wear, so they're designed to hold up wash after wash. Check the care label on each pair for the specific washing and drying instructions.

Girls' denim shorts come in a range of lengths, from shorter frayed-hem styles to longer midi shorts that hit closer to the knee. Longer options are handy when you want a more school-appropriate length, while shorter styles suit casual summer play.

Beyond girls' styles, you can shop coordinating denim and shorts across the family, including boys' shorts and women's shorts, so everyone can stay cool and on-trend all summer.
