While everybody else debates the merits of barrel legs versus '90s cuts, when it comes to denim, I obsess over shorts. (Blame it on growing up in Florida, where there are two seasons: humid and scorching hot.) And the one trend I'm seeing from the Gulf Coast beaches to the streets of NYC is...baggy shorts.

I'm not talking oversized fits or Bermudas; these pairs still run a few inches above the knee, with a fitted waist and wider legs. It creates a more flattering fit for a wide range of body types, and it's breezy and easy to run around in, without constantly wedgie-picking or readjusting.

After trying on nearly a dozen styles this summer, I can say Levi's makes the best baggy shorts around. And right now, you can snag the 94 Baggy Shorts for $28 (they're normally $59.50) during Amazon Prime Day. Now through July 11, Amazon is featuring serious discounts on everything from beauty products to Yeti tumblers to mattresses. With all those big buys, it's easy to overlook shorts, but here's why you shouldn't—especially not this pair.

They're Supremely Comfy

While these shorts contain zero stretch, they're 100 percent cotton, making them lightweight yet durable—and most importantly, breathable for those balmy summer months. They also feature a 7-inch inseam, providing solid coverage so you can run, jump and bend without worrying about flashing your bum to the world. They're also long enough that they can easily be cuffed or rolled, too, so you can switch up your look.

The High-Rise Style Is Great for Long Torsos

Levi's also sells a high-rise version, which also happens to be marked down considerably for Amazon Prime Day. You can snag the High Baggy Short for $31—a whopping 55 percent discount from its usual $69.50. This style sits higher on your waist, creating a more cinched silhouette that's ideal for longer torsos. It's also made of 85 percent cotton, 15 percent linen, making it even more lightweight and breezy. (I own this style, and I've been living in it this summer.)

Beyond comfort, I love this style's overall fit—they're not so long or baggy that they look frumpy. And at this price? Well, they're simply irresistible in my book.
