With summer in full swing, there’s no doubt my daily outfits are reflecting the sweltering heat. I’ve been living in mostly lightweight dresses and, of course, shorts—an easy basic I can pair with tank tops, bikinis, and flowy blouses. If you’re melting in the heat like I am, today I wanted to hone in on some stylish shorts outfits to keep you cool and sartorially excited this season.
