But remember, denim shorts aren't the only option when temps start to heat up. And if you're just not the denim-diaper type, fortunately there are plenty of other options to combat the hot weather without going into full cutoffs territory.

So, we're rounding up a bunch of more polished, trend-forward picks to add to your warm-weather wardrobe. Memorial Day is sneaking up, so trust us, you're going to want to nab a pair sooner rather than later.
