If you’ve got the gams, short shorts are incredibly chic for day and night. The key to pulling off the look is balance- sleeveless on top is okay; decolletage is not. Here are some of our favorites.

The Floral– Wear as you would a skirt, floral pieces are perfect to begin experimenting with mixing patterns. Pair a striped Spring sweater and neutral wedges.

The Track Short- The locker room never looked so chic. These shorts are easy and comfortable and would look great with a basic James Perse t-shirt and incredible brown leather sandals. This neutral palette allows for big and bold accessories, like a bib necklace by GB Couture.

The Sexy Short– A perfect nighttime staple (wear with black opaque tights in the Winter, bare legs in the Summer), shorts-done-dressy are so chic. Keep it slighly more casual on top and wear with a killer heel or bootie.

The Cutoff– About as American as apple pie, you can’t go wrong with cutoffs.. Unless they’re paired with heels. Stick with flats to avoid questions about your taste… and occupation. 😉
