Ever since the no pants trend began, we've been inundated with extremely short shorts. Like micro shorts. Or even hot pants. So you're probably expecting any summer shorts roundup to include at least a few itty-bitty examples. Sorry to disappoint, but we decided to go a different route by consciously excluding any barely-there bottoms. Even with that glaring omission, our must-buy list is jam-packed with cool silhouettes that'll see you through the beginning of September.
While Miu Miu's almost invisible pairs are absent, the brand has other, more real world-appropriate options. Especially when it comes to the technical variety. Suit shorts are on other labels' menu designed to be worn with or without the matching blazer or vest. There's plenty of denim. Just not cutoffs. This time we're setting our sights on borderline jorts. We're still recovering from micro mania. Although, The Frankie Shop's Hayla contrasting set can be sported rolled or unrolled depending upon your vibe from day to day. There are also boxers, knit shorts, pleated pairs, silk and linen blends as well as a couple of organza selections.
