Every Fashion Girl Wears This Easy Essential at Least Once a Week in the Summer
Apart from jeans and basic tees and tanks, there's really no summer wardrobe item more ubiquitous among the fashion set than a pair of easy high-waisted shorts. Sure, sundresses and skirt sets are popular, but they aren't what you put on in a flash. On most days, it's shorts—likely paired with an oversize button-down shirt and some flat sandals—that make the cut.
If your closet looks anything like mine, you probably own a dozen or so pairs of high-waisted shorts already. That said, after wearing the ones in your existing collection multiple days a week for too many summers to count, I bet you're due for an update (or am I the only one?).
Keep scrolling to shop every fashion person's go-to summer bottom, from denim cutoffs to tailored Bermudas.
The perfect shorts for when you want to look put-together on an extremely hot summer day.
Bermuda shorts make every shorts outfit look 10 times more elevated.
These linen shorts are going on my wish list immediately.
If you don't own anything from Sami Miro Vintage, you should change that.
