Marysia Swimsuit, Frame Shorts (similar here and here)

Shorts shopping often requires some effort up front. Whether that looks like experimenting with different styles or bringing a pair you love to the tailor to achieve the perfect length and fit, it is well worth it when it comes time to put together casual, but polished, summer looks. While I love the classic staples, like denim and crisp white shorts, I also gravitate toward styles that showcase a sophisticated print, like this floral pair, this paisley pair, and this toile pair. Find more of my current favorite shorts to wear this season below.

Denim Shorts

Whether you prefer light wash, medium wash, or dark wash, a pair of denim shorts is a timeless staple. This pair from Levi’s is a bit longer to provide more coverage when running around this summer.

Embroidered Shorts

When I’m looking for a change of pace from my usual dresses or skirts, I turned to tailored shorts like these from Zimmermann. The floral embroidery makes any outfit special, without sacrificing ease or comfort.

Linen Shorts

I’m not sure what I love most about these Cuyana shorts—the olive color or the breezy linen fabric. They would look beautiful styled with a button-up shirt or simple tee.
