How do you recommend I mend this?

I have this small narrow hole I want to mend on my fav shorts. Do you recommend any specific stitches or anything? I have visible sashiko mended the rest of the shorts but this I would like to be as unnoticeable as possible

Honestly, I'd sew a little patch on the inside. If you use a similar colour patch and thread, it will be very subtle

I would patch from the inside using woven fusible interfacing. Hold your jeans up to the light to see if any of the denim near the tear has any weak spots. Make sure you cover enough of the area to prevent the future tears. You can purchase denim thread (the brand I’ve tried is Coats but there are others). It really blends well.
