It's shorts season? After a LOT of research, I'm sharing the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

Looking for the best jean shorts for thick thighs? These are AWESOME!

You asked, and I did a LOT of research.  Let's be honest…….finding shorts that fit us ladies with a pear shaped body? Can be a bit of a challenge…..and finding the best jean shorts for thick thighs or pear shaped bodies? EVEN TOUGHER.  I can't tell you how many pairs of jean shorts I've tried and discarded in the last few years.  Fitted shorts or Bermuda shorts tend to draw attention to wider thighs and be not my favorite on our bodies (or not my personal favorite).  And most denim shorts that fit wider hips are HUGE in the waist.  I've written a similar blog post about my favorite shorts for a pear shaped body for the last few years……and wanted to FINALLY write a secondary post focusing on the best jean shorts for thick thighs (hey, we all know they save lives, right?!?)

Having trouble finding great denim shorts? These are the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

I tried a LOT of brands, styles, and price points.  A LOT.  And after all that? There are a few pairs of jean shorts that stood out to me.

Having trouble finding great denim shorts? These are the best jean shorts for thick thighs!

After trying and testing a TON of pairs of jean shorts……these are my absolute favorites.  It's interesting how certain brands tend to be my favorite for shorts year after year  and clothing type after clothing type(and they tend to be the SAME brands that I love for jeans during cooler months).  Current favorites for jean shorts? Aerie , Madewell and Universal Standard. If you're a pear shaped lady or have thicker thighs, these brands tend to be fit our body type really well!

Madewell Denim Demsey Shorts (size 31): THESE ARE THE BEST! These Madewell jean shorts seriously made my summer.  They're thick enough to hold their shape, have some stretch, are high waisted enough to wear with a tank top or fitted top, and have a decent inseam (3 1/2 inches). These are a bit of an investment, but for what may be the BEST jean shorts for thick thighs on the market right now? Worth every penny.

Aerie Adventure Denim Short (size large): Listen, these are a STEAL.  These jean shorts fit SO well, come in a great size range, and are a great length.  The downside? They sell out.  A LOT. So my suggestion, if your size is not in stock? Favorite them on the Aerie site and you'll get an alert when they come back in.  Then RUN and buy as soon as possible!

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
