Short-shorts are a bold choice (but when the weather heats up, they fit right in), so why not go for a bold statement to match the cut? There’s no reason the rest of our wardrobe should enjoy all the special attention. Elect a unique pair, and let your lightly tanned legs walk the walk while your shorts talk the talk.
1. Callula Lillibelle Stretch-Lace and Jacquard Shorts: A nice price and an even nicer combination of lace and print. Semi-sheer panels introduce some sensuality, and coral is a big hue of the season. On Net-a-Porter
2. Alexander Wang Striped Shell Shorts: Go supremely sporty this season. On-trend and overtly athletic, these elevated jogging shorts are an off-day alternative to beat-up cut-offs. On Net-a-Porter
3. Alexander McQueen Cotton Gabardine Shorts: All the news that’s fit to print is right here! Powdery pink and black look sharp in this shake-up of leopard and abstracted houndstooth. On My Theresa for $349.
4. Girl. By Band of Outsiders Cleo Lace Shorts: I’m loving crochet at the moment, and refreshing dip-dyed lace puts a modern and unusual spin on a vintage vibe. On ShopBop
5. Thakoon Printed Cotton Crepe de Chine Shorts: Folkloric and right off the runway, Thakoon has elevated shorts into enchanting territory with a worldly pattern and liquid-y lamé trim. On Net-a-Porter
