A Shorts Story

Summer is coming -- are your legs ready? Shorts are everywhere this year! Recent trends range from the longer Bermuda-style to the more flashy short short iterations. Anything basically goes this summer as short shorts, sailor shorts, floral print shorts, camo shorts, destroyed denim, and boyfriend shorts will be flaunted. So show as much or as little as you want!

This Summer mix things up for your beach ensemble in elegant multi-print shorts. Pair them with your favorite tank or tee and a cute pair of sandals and you're ready for Summer fun!  For a polished, preppy look, pair your shorts with ballet flats or sandals and a silk shirt.  Or just toss on a tee and a pair of oversized sunglasses to don a classic, retro style. When worn with heels or wedge sandals, shorts can make your legs look longer and leaner.

However you wear them, shorts are perfect for just about any summer activity, from lounging by the beach or pool all the way to working a day at the office or dancing the night away at a rooftop party.  This Summer think beyond cutoffs, khakis and board shorts.  Here's how to do it right when you feel like showing a little leg.
