Women's Shorts: Baggy, Cargo, Denim, Jorts & More
If you love American Eagle women’s jeans and want the same style in your shorts, we've got good news. We make tried-and-true women’s shorts in fits you love, new on-trend fits, and all the washes and details you're looking for! We make shorts for every person, every event, and every spring or summer day. We use high-quality denim in every pair of jean shorts (A.K.A. jorts), soft, lightweight twill in our khaki & cargo shorts, and other trending-now fabrics and colors you need this season.

No matter what you're into, AE has tons of short options! Ranging from high-waisted shorts to low-rise ones, old-school vintage denim shorts and cooler-than-cool Mom shorts, relaxed baggy shorts and classic short shorts, there’s always something for everyone. Plus, AE women’s shorts come in lengths from super short to longer so you’ll have a length you feel good about. Midi shorts offer an in-between length, and other fits like Mom shorts and baggy shorts keep things relaxed and laid back.

Our women’s shorts come in ultra-comfortable stretch fabrics to give you a fit that holds its shape and moves with you, or you can find rigid cotton jean shorts for a soft, throwback vibe in lighter washes. Frayed hems, tears, rips, mending, patches, and more create a look that’s all you. And with all the washes you can think of ranging from bright white to dark black and with all the blues in between, you’ll always have the right shorts for your next outfit. Plus with tons of must-have details like cargo pockets, utility deets, and fun colors, you'll have a look you love.

Go for our shortest short shorts, medium length midi shorts, in-the-middle Perfect 4” shorts, or classic Bermuda shorts for the fit that’s right for you and then wear ‘em how you want! Every AE women’s short pairs perfectly with all your go-to shirts & tops , so don’t be afraid to mix and match. Try a pair of ripped Mom shorts with an oversized sweatshirt in early spring, then switch things out with a crop top and short shorts for hot summer days.
