Dear Girlfriends -

 

Keep it short! This summer staple is having its best season yet. 

Girls, when you are thinking army green or a nice summer color …. beyond their grab-n-go status, casual shorts crave the high/low treatment.  Styling them with something fancy adds a cool element of contrast. 

On the other hand, nothing says summer quite like crisp white shorts.  Pick a slouchy style and pair them with a dark top for a chic, lazy-Saturday-in-the-neighborhood look.

And I’m not really a “shorts” chick but these style make even me what to consider a pair this season!

Here’s how to wear the top styles this season!

Instantly ups the chic quotient of a basic blouse.  Woven raw silk shorts with metallic pinstripes throughout. Self-belt tie and gathered elastic banding at paper bag waist. Slant pockets at hip and patch pockets at back. Cuffs at bottom hem. Or consider a basic white tank an alluring retro flair.  Mid-weight jersey shorts with 4″ quilted banding at waist and slant pockets at hip. Hidden zipper at side. Cuff at bottom hem.  A cool compromise between short-short and jean.  Denim short with 5-pocket styling and single-button closure. ’7′ embroidery at back pockets. Whiskering at front and worn spots at edges. Moderate distressing throughout.

When you know what works for you – work it.  Buy shorts that suit your style and your personality.  Comfy-chic style. Woven shorts with slant pockets at hip and snap-flap pockets at back. 3 snap-flap pockets at sides.  The designer Elizabeth and James is never short on style.  Look at these!  Wrinkled, lightweight woven shorts with slant pockets and button-tab detail at hip. Pleating at front and button-welt pocket at back.

With all that is constricting in the world today, your clothes don’t have to be. Be yourself, be creative, be free with these cozy jersey harem shorts.   Some of you may consider … Casual vintage styling and a whole lot of funky hardware just means it’s easy to wear our fab high-waisted belted shorts over and over. A wide-leg construction, angled hand pockets, back button-flap pockets and double pleats at the front create a cool retro silhouette, but with a subtle herringbone texture, two-way adjustable belt that buckles at each side and a two-button concealed front closure, this sassy look will never go out of style.

 

And I absolutely LOVE these .. they are fun and chic!  These Roja high-waisted shorts feature a floral print, a zipper closure in the back, and cuffed bottoms and fits true to size.

Let me tell you – the styles this season are endless – get a pair of shorts today!

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
