Denim Boilersuit
The whole jumpsuit craze isn’t going anywhere, and in long-sleeved denim, this is perfect to wear over a cami with the front unbuttoned when you’re outside, then fastened closed when you’re inside braving the AC.
Colorful Linen
Swingy pleats are as festive as a miniskirt, but sportier and more versatile when they’re actually shorts.
Silky High-Waisted
These shorts say #boss from their subtle dark sheen to their understated double-button fastening. Belt loops are there, too, to thread your status belt through.
Paperbag
The khaki color is your perennial goes-with-everything shade, while the gathered waist and tie belt is the new classic shape that works with everything from a work blouse to a weekend T-shirt.
Shorts Suit
The silhouette of the summer is the matching jacket-and-shorts hook-up. In a happy green hue, it’s positively joy-inducing (and the sale price saves you a lot of green so you can spend $58 on the coordinating jacket).
Scallop Hem
With detailing borrowed from lingerie design and a drapey crepe fabric, a pair of shorts can be as dressy as a skirt. (But so much more stylish.)
Elastic Waist
Forget those pull-on gym shorts from school. The same shape, when done up in spicy T-shirt material and lined for full coverage, becomes an easy profesh look (especially when paired with a matching top).
Bike Shorts
The silhouette of the summer is the matching jacket-and-shorts hook-up. In a happy green hue, it’s positively joy-inducing (and the sale price saves you a lot of green so you can spend $58 on the coordinating jacket).
