It's shorts season!

As summer stretches on, we're shopping for women's shorts across all styles: high-waisted, crochet, denim, linen and more. We're considering options for all occasions: Think summer parties, work, beach vacations and beyond.

Women's linen essentials for summer

Since shorts are such a summer staple, consider pairs you can style in multiple ways. Old Navy's High-Waisted Wow Jean Shorts, for example, can be dressed up or down: Style them with a black cami and Birkenstocks for a casual summer day or pair with a silky button down and strappy heels for an evening look. A pair of gingham Abercrombie & Fitch linen shorts look great when paired with a matching top or can be worn more casually with a white T-shirt.

If you can wear shorts to work, try a pair like Reformation's Drew shorts, which are fitted at the waist, have a straight leg and hit just above the knee. Pair them with a ballet flat, a blazer and a work tote for a chic ensemble.

We've also included a selection of women's skorts for those who love the look of a skirt with the comfort and ease of a short. Try a pair from H&M or J.Crew, both now on sale.

Keep in mind that you'll likely be able to wear some shorts and skorts well into fall, depending on the weather in your area. A tailored short paired with high boots and a turtleneck sweater makes a cute outfit on a chilly day, as does a pair of denim shorts styled with a cashmere crewneck and soft leather flats.
