Elizabeth & James manages to stay sophisticated and simple while showing off one of summer’s hottest trends….lace!
If you like to stay minimalistic, 3.1 Phillip Lim uses neutrals but spices up his shorts with dynamite details. Folded over at the waist and accented with snaps, the look is casual chic. It gives off that comfy feeling, without being frumpy or ill fitting. Also, the linen and drawstring make them easy and breezy… perfect for a hot day in the city. If you like Lim’s look, but want to take it downtown than look no further. Marc Jacobs’ has your problem solved with his high-waisted satin short. Just top it off with a sassy blouse and some pumps, and you’re good to go. Thakoon follows their lead with these great denim, tied-up cut off trousers. The paper bag waist is so 60s and totally groovy. Although these designer duds may be pricey, Forever 21 even offers a high waisted short that is totally buy-able at under $20! Who says you can’t follow trends?
If ties, colors and fancy patterns have got your panties in a twist…then these 3 classic shorts will do the trick. Perfect for a day in the Hamptons, Tory Burch twists traditional herringbone with her batik cotton bottoms. If you’re looking for denim, then Chloe will set you up with this oh-so-chic workman’s short (great for a mom who needs pockets). Last but not least, bermudas are a good way to go if you’re not one for lots of thigh high action. Flattering to many body types, these faded yellow shorts Ett Twa are good for every gal.
