It’s Been A While Since I’ve Worn Them
It’s been YEARS since I’ve worn denim shorts, let alone a pair of cut off denim shorts. I’ll admit, I feel uncomfortable wearing shorts in general (even mini skirts sometimes). I just don’t find them flattering on my figure/legs. My philosophy is that I don’t have to wear something if I don’t feel good about it. I’m a big proponent on you don’t have to wear something just because it is trendy. ALWAYS dress for you and your outfit(s) will naturally shine because of your confidence in them.
Why I Rarely Wear Shorts
Another main reason I’m not into shorts or mini skirts is due to my butt. I don’t necessarily have a large butt but it is really round and bubbly (haha!). If I were to do a side profile, you’d definitely notice it haha.Which means when I wear any type of bottoms (pants, skirt, shorts, etc), the back is always shorter because my butt takes up so much space.
It is not a bad problem to have but shopping for bottoms can be annoying or frustrating. I sometimes would have to go up a size (or two) so that my bottoms can go over my butt. Can you now see my problem with shorts? Haha.
For sure I struggle finding shorts that fit me to my liking. The length in the front is fine, but the length in the back makes it look like I am wearing booty shorts. I don’t want anyone to see my butt cheeks! If I go up a size, then the waist would be so loose. The struggle is real. And during the summer sometimes I am in the mood to just slip on a cute pair of cut off denim shorts!
Most Talked About Denim Shorts With Butt Coverage
Then I finally found a pair of cut off denim shorts that I’ve heard would be great for people with a booty. Almost everyone has been raving about the AGOLDE shorts. I’ve seen several bloggers wear them and it appears to be the perfect fit. However, I can’t justify the price tag. Plus the sizing seems to be all over the place. Some say you need to size down, others say get your size, and some even said go up a size. Uhhhh I don’t think there should be quite this much variance when it comes to sizing. I am willing to splurge if the fit is perfect, but I couldn’t decide on the size.
Actually Found The Perfect Denim Shorts WITH Butt Coverage
However, one day I walked into Abercrombie & Fitch and found these shorts. HALLELUJAH! When I saw it on the rack, I was attracted to the fact that the length in the back looked longer than the front. So I picked 3 different sizes and tried them out. Plus, it looks almost identical to the AGOLDE shorts.
YESSSS!! They are the perfect pair of cut off denim shorts for all my ladies with a booty. The length in the back is for sure longer. So you have the appearance of cut off shorts without any butt cheeks. I also love the fact that they’re high-waisted too!
They fit true to size. So whatever size you wear in jeans, that is what I recommend getting. However, I did go up a size (size 28) because I wanted them to fit slightly looser around the thighs.
Oh, and did I mention the price?! They’re only $58. Which is about 40% less than the AGOLDE shorts. And from time to time, Abercrombie has storewide sales.
If the cut off style is not your thing, they definitely have other denim shorts that have the same fit. I’ve tried them on too. But decided to purchase one pair of shorts first.
If you know any more denim shorts with butt coverage, feel free to recommend them to me!

Thank you Jessica!
Those are cute shorts. I am so conscious of my legs that I never wear shorts. I wish I did though because the heat is already killing me.

I am so self conscious about my legs too. But I’m trying to just go with the flow and find the right pair of shorts!
It is so hard to find shorts that cover my butt! I love how adorable these are!

They really are! I recommend these!
I haven’t worn shorts in a longgg time either but these are really cute! Love that they offer more booty coverage because it’s really hard to find shorts that fit correctly (baby got back haha!).

haha I feel ya girl! I got back too!
I agree.. flattering is more important then being trendy. We should always wear what makes us feel good.
http://www.henatayeb.blogspot.com
Yes exactly!
Some of my favourite shorts are from Abercrombie. Also, I recently bought some AGOLDE shorts when Shopbop gave me 15% off, they are well worth the price tag. Even though I cannot believe I spent that much on shorts.

That’s good to know! I don’t wear shorts often so I’m trying to justify if it is worth the price tag.
I love not having to coverup my legs, but a lot of shorts are so uncomfortable! These are so perfect and they look super comfy! You styled them perfectly and I love that hat! I thought it got stuck in the tree lol I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Girl, I think you’d love these shorts! Hahah!! I was nervous it would get stuck.
haha the key here is definitely butt coverage! So many of them are cut too high but those look perfect on you!

They really are. Even hard for people with a fuller booty!
They look awesome on you! It’s always hard for me to find shorts that are actually a flattering length without being too long, or showing my undercheeks!
http://www.sundaydahlias.com
Yes! These ones are perfect!
I struggle to find shorts that cover enough up and hate shorts on me anyway! But these look great and you stepping out of your comfort zone makes me want to too. Maybe I just need to cut off my own pair to get the right length.
Jenny | Local Leo
This is definitely out of my comfort zone. But I felt better when my butt was covered haha.
These shorts are SO cute. Now that I’m getting older I’m all about the bum coverage LOL! I can be hard to find! Thanks for sharing 🙂

So funny because I tried these on, and they looked terrible on me. It really is all about your body type and what fits you best. You have to stay trie to yourself. So glad you found a pair you like! They look great on you.

thank you so much Cathy!
You’ve been finding the best Abercrombie finds lately & I’m loving it! I love the coverage on these and the destruction on the front is so fun too. The length is seriously perfection! x Shannon • www.essellesse.com
Their stuff has been so good lately! Thank you Shannon!
I agree with dressing in pieces that make you feel good and confident! That’s why I also don’t wear shorts often! Lol My legs and waist are a lot bigger or wider than my butt so sometimes finding one that fits is just a lot of disappointment. So I totally get you on why you rarely wear shorts. I do love the longer length of this pair you are wearing and it does have a lot more coverage than what I see on F21 or other websites! I also love the lighter denim wash. A versatile color!

Exactly Maureen! In the end it is all about how you feel in it. I think with age, shorts are probably not appealing haha. Thanks girl!
Now you’re speaking my language! You do you, girl! That being said, I love that you finally found a pair of shorts that work for you! I know the pain of shorts that just don’t work! My issue is usually length because of thick thighs and I love J.Crew Factory 5″ inseam shorts. They always seem to be the perfect length for me!

Glad you can relate! And I will definitely check out those pairs!
Those shorts are amazing!
Love it 🙂

Oooh these look perfect! I have similar issues with shorts, and add in my thicker thighs that often make cameltoe (sigh). I’ll have to give these a shot! Abercrombie has kinda been rocking it lately, no?
Omg yes girl I have that issue too. If you do try it, let me know. I hope it works out. And abercrombie definitely rocking!
These shorts look amazing on you- and I’m right there with you, I think having a longer option (preferably with a higher-waist) is really key. Love these A&F jams!

I’m so tired of shorts that won’t even cover half my butt. the ones you have look perfect. I found some at zara last year and they were amazing too.

Same! So frustrating! I need to check out Zara, thanks for the rec!
I really understand you, when you say you dont feel comfortable in shorts. I often feel the same way, especially when they are so short, that they show your butt. haha
So I try to find longer ones, too, eventhough it seems to be hard to find any good ones.
I like yours a lot, and dont be too insecure about your legs. They are perfectly fine!♥
Best, Gilda

I know, longer ones are so hard to find. I’m so glad I came across this one. Thank you so much Gilda!
You look like California’s 90s babe ♥ Love this look ♥

Loveee those shorts! They’re the perfect length!
They really are! Thanks Kelsey!
OMG this title! I love how you said… with butt coverage haha!
I have been searching for slightly longer pairs of shorts, but always struggle to find a pair that I actually like! Thank you for sharing 🙂
