Here we see Megan from Megan's Moda dressing her shorts in the classic i-dont-want-to-wash-my-hair hat, chucks, and a tee. Comfy and fast.

3. Chambray.
I love chambray! Who doesn't? it's soft and versatile.
I'm hesitant to wear it with denim because it's so "matchy-matchy." But Jessica from
Tuula really pulls it off! Maybe it's time to give it a try.

We all remember when "Bermuda" shorts were the hottest summer trend. While I'm thankful for that being over, I absolutely how Cara and Maureen wear them!

What happens if they can't see your shorts under your shirt. You don't want to look like you accidentally wore a tunic as a dress.
Here are a few solutions from The Style Editrix.
1. Tuck it in. Here Ashley simply tucked in the front of her silk top in order to pair it perfectly with jean shorts.

7. Fancy Shorts.
When I first saw Julie wearing cut-off jean shorts with heels. I was thinking she had completely missed the point. But after scrolling thru all the photos on the blog post my mind was changed. How chic!

8. Pockets out.
These cutoff-looking jean shorts don't rob the wearer of any pocket space. While some might think they look sloppy, this is one of my favorite summertime looks! They are easy to keep cool in and they are usually pretty comfortable. They kind of remind me of a skort trend I'm seeing more and more of these days.
Here is Julie from Sincerely, Jules looking chic and casual all in one outfit. The link for this look says "how to style an oversized blazer." Well done Julie!

10. Solid colors.
If this post went into all the different colors jean shorts come in these days it would never end. So here are a few key pointers.
White is hard to wear! (and not for the obvious reason). Since white highlights it's best to pair it with a big flowing top that is longer rather than shorter.
Ashley from Ash N' Fashn rock white shorts on the beach!

Solid colors can also have more class. However, the crazier the color, the harder it is to look classy.
Breanna from Chic Street Style shows us how to have class in the heat of the summer. Pair black shorts with a fun, breezy chiffon top. Great for a night out with friends!
