Jort Storm

Students at NWCTA are witnessing a hurricane of jorts-wearers flooding their school. Jorts are known to make students feel good and have become a fun DIY project.

Anela Appellof, a sophomore, likes jorts because they are a very pleasant clothing item.

“I like jorts because I feel comfortable and myself when I wear them. I don’t like wearing shorter shorts, so I love that jorts help me express who I am and make me feel good,” Anela said. “They also just make your outfits pop. Whenever I see someone wearing jorts, I’m always like ‘they’re really cool.’”

Maddi Royce, a senior, expresses her fondness for the latest trend.

“I love jorts. They’re awesome, and their name is funny. Fire piece of clothing for sure,” Royce proclaims.

If you want to join in on the latest trend and cut your very own pair of jorts, follow the tutorial below!

1. Buy a pair of baggy men’s jeans. (TJ Maxx or Ross are good places to start)! 

2. Try on the jeans and use a washable marker to mark how long you want them to be. (Usually around the knee).

3. Lay the jeans on a flat surface and fold them in half to make the length even.

4. Cut the jeans slightly below the line you drew

5. Try the jorts on. If you’re unhappy with the length, cut them a bit shorter. Make sure you always fold the jorts in half to ensure a straight cut.

6. You now have jorts! Enjoy the swag!

Appellof recommends that everyone own a pair of jorts because they are very versatile.

“100,000 percent, everyone should have jorts!” Appellof exclaimed. “They are a great clothing item to add to your wardrobe as you can style them however you want.”
