'I've been hunting for the perfect denim shorts. Here are the best size-inclusive pairs I've found.'

The weather is warming up, the days are getting longer, and everyone's mood is starting to lift — that is unless you are plus-size trying to find the perfect denim shorts! 

Denim short shopping is a daunting task that most of us plus-size ladies find scary or simply avoid.

But over the last few weeks, I've been on a mission to find the perfect pair and have been sharing all my good finds on my Instagram account.

So I thought I'd fill you in because they're too good to be gatekept.

I have hunted the stores, scoured the internet and here are a few things to keep in mind…

So in saying all of that, here are my top six picks after trying on what feels like hundreds of pairs.

Just Jeans Curve Originals Seam Front Short, $79.95.

These are my top pick! Especially if like me you carry weight in your tummy, but you love to embrace the tuck! The length is also perfect. Not too short but also not too long.

The darker wash also means they can be dressed up and dressed down!

Remember versatility is key! 

Sussan Cotton Front Seam Denim Short, $69.95.

Ok these were a big surprise! I was unsure how these would go because they don't have your typical button do-up — it's more like two hook and eyes — but they were so good!

They are a more elevated denim short but being made from cotton, they really mould to your body! =

Again they were super flattering on the tummy area! My only concern was that they are a touch shorter than I would normally go but definitely a great option.

Just Jeans Curve Soft Utility Jog Short, $69.95.

These are for my comfort queens! They are a full elastic waistband and they are so comfortable. Don't worry about them being more casual because the dark wash and contrast stitching make them so easy to dress up!

They have relaxed legs with plenty of allowance and they sat really nice and high-rise.

City Chic Denim Millie Short, $89.95.

This style is perfect for the hourglass girlies.

They have amazing allowance in the hips and the bottom area and the A-line cut makes them super flattering.

The dark denim colour was a big selling point for me. Super chic!

Adrift Clothing Ali Tencel Shorts in Dark Wash, $125.

This style short is the perfect for someone who is dipping their toe into the denim short trend but wants to stick to the soft flowy fabric.

The Tencel cotton blend makes them soft and easy to wear for every day. They also have an elastic waistband for extra comfort. The sizing is quite generous and the leg allowance was a 10/10!

These would be my go-to short when heading out with the kids

Just Jeans Curve Original Seam Front Short, $79.95.

Yep that's right another style from Just Jeans.

Their selection of denim shorts for the plus-size babes was definitely the best. This pair was a very close run for top place. The fit on these shorts is great, the length was perfect and the front seams made them really flattering on the tummy area.

I liked the lighter denim colour but it made them feel a bit more casual. The thicker hem on the legs was really good because it helped stop that dreaded riding of the shorts. 

If I can leave you with one final piece of advice — embrace the denim shorts and wear them with confidence! They are such a versatile, easy-to-wear wardrobe item. Once you find the perfect pair for you and your personal style you will never look back.
