The Shorts List


So it's summer again: the temperatures are rising and it's time to pull out the shorts! For me, finding the perfect pair is always a task (I usually just end up cutting my own from last season's jeans).

Then I tried on the new James Perse shorts and fell in love. With a wide ribbed waistband and light weight fabric, these shorts will keep you cool and comfy all summer. Think of shorts as those cryptic bottoms reserved only for supermodels or (gasp!) the beach? Don't be so hard on this ever-rebuked summer staple (or yourself).


Velvet's Crew-neck Wide Tunic

Even the most shorts-phobic will find themselves looking great when pairing them with a loose, flowy top while walking around the city: think Blue Life's Best bum tee (below, left). For the beach, a cool sleeveless tee like Juicy's Sleeveless Ruffle Front Top (below, center). And if you're feeling really frisky, try them with a Sexy Ella Moss (below, left) top for a night out on the town!



Some more shorts-friendly options:
