It may be shorts season, but breaking out the old denim daisy dukes is something we’re leaving in the (distant) past!
Short shorts are over. What’s not? The more elegant, flowy, high-waisted, lengthier versions of our favorite childhood go-to-styles. You can wear them to brunch, work and just about anywhere you’d wear a summer skirt.
Just make sure to choose ones that feel fashionable and fully structured -- with belts, pleats, cuffs or other details. Made of soft, flowy, airy material and often in a flattering high-waisted cut, these shorts boast plenty of style and even have ever-practical pockets.
Tuck in a favorite silk blouse, or pair with a matching blazer -- or just keep it simple with a white tee.
Reach for summery shades like lemon, and airy materials like linen or silk, to keep you cool in style -- even when it’s the hottest month so far on record!
