Summer brings mega leg action. If you're anything like us, as soon as you get home from work (and let's be honest, happy hour), you want to slip on shorts before digging into dinner on your couch with a side of bad reality TV. At night, if the air conditioning is cranked up a bit too high, you want to wear PJ-like shorts to bed. On the weekends, you're running errands, and you need a comfy outfit to carry you through a little farmer's market action and visiting the dry cleaners. There's no shame in your shorts game. And we say go for it—let those gams breathe!
But if there's one thing you know about shorts, it's this: They can be the worst. If the elastic band on the waist is too thin, too tight, or hits you in a bad spot, they can dig in and create lumps and bumps you don't want. If they hit your leg at the exact wrong spot, it doesn't look pretty, either—especially when you sit down.
In an effort to help you avoid that fate, we rounded up seven styles you'll love. They all differ in length, but they're all meant to flatter. With lightweight, breathable material, they keep you cool and hang just right. Drawstrings on elastic waistbands let you customize the fit. Then details like cuffs, pockets, tassels, and cute prints up the fun factor.
Skip the fitting room this time around, and take two seconds to order shorts that you'll want to wear again and again. These are the shorts you'll live in this summer—and lounge in long after it ends.
