Cute & Cheap: 5 summer shorts we can't survive without

Check these out, too...

  • Ed. obsession under $20: Primp out your keyboard
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
  • Dream on with a DIY dream board
If you’re like us, you’re stoked for summer for one main reason: It’s finally shorts season! We’ve rounded up our fave shorties for you to spy, below. Want more? Check out the Cute & Cheap page in our June/July issue!

 

The daring knit

Nothing says sassy quite like these vivid shorts with a comfortable stretchy waistband. They are a stylish signature to any outfit: Pairing them with neutral tones lets them take the spotlight, but adding a royal blue necklace or contrasting cardigan will definitely make a statement.

 

 

Seashell Eyelet Shorts, $40, madewell.com

 

High-waist paradise

Bright and bold not your style? This pair channels the classics in cream and black. High waist shorts look great with a shirt tucked in or out. Try a cropped sweater or a sheer top with a tank under it to show them off!

 

 

Suit Yourself Beige Shorts, $38, lulus.com

 

The classic

These clean-lined denim shorts bring stylishly mismatched pieces together with ease, all while flattering your gams with wide pockets on the front and back. The combinations are endless with your basic cutoffs- they’ll tie anything together!

 

 
Denim Shorts, $20, hm.com

 

Funkytown

These striped shorts will blow their socks off! A solid top and simple slip-ons are the perfect background to show these babies off. Match with big gold jewelry for a totally fresh and head-turning look.

 
 
Desert Striped Cutoffs, $20, forever21.com

 

The girly-girl

These short shorts are feminine and light with calm shades of lavender and white. They’re perfect for a daytime date paired with a solid tee and pretty flats, but would look gorge dressed up with nude heels for a night on the town!

 

 

Rose Print Turn Cuff Short, $25, wetseal.com

GL staff, we are NOT rich! When I saw the word ''cheap'' I thought of maximum $27. Not $40! Our parents pay for us, and they like the rest of people in the world are stuggling to pay everything because even if you did not know it, the word in in crisis. And yes, also the''great''USA. So how could we make our parents spend so much money on ONE single piece intead of buying a whole new outfit that we sure use or stuff more important than just clothes?! Please next time search for the word you are going to use in a dictionary. And also looks for other clothes that REALLY are cute and cheap.Why don't you make next time an article about spending money wisely, so not just the girls will learn about it, but also you,too! >.>




Hey girl, 

Thanks for your opinion! I'll pass along your suggestions.

Why are all of these shorts SO short? Some parents don't let girls wear shorts like this. Why are all the shorts like this????

But I neeeeeed it gone!!!!! I'm going camping tomorrrow!!!!!!!!!! There is like not even a ligit bathroom.....ugh this sucks! Is there really no way to get it gone by tonight? There has to be some way! I've drank like a lot of water today....ugh!!!! Please, are you sure there's no way to make my period go away?




Hey babe,

I'm so sorry it's upsetting you so much! Try not to let it get you down. Unfortunately, there really is no way to stop your period. It's a natural thing that all girls go through and it's actually healthy for your body to have it. It does have a tendency to have incredibly bad timing, but the only thing you can do is just wait it out. Make sure you have plenty of supplies (tampons, pads, pain relievers) and do your best to enjoy this trip regardless!

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
