Finally--Shorts Go Long!

Bermudas are back, baby, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. These leg-lengtheners are super-flattering and unlike total shorties, you can wear them with sky-scraping heels. Throw on a tank, summer scarf and piles of jewels. Keep reading for the long and, um, short of it.
 
A dark-wash pair is as classic as they come. Love them with a breezy top (florals or stripes—your choice!) and dock shoes for a go-anywhere vacay look.

 
Relax, chica. Loose ‘n’ laid-back shorts are cute for camp, afternoons by the lake and your babysitting gig. Balance out the bigger bottom with a fitted tee or tank. Slip on your fave flips and kick it.

Summer’s the perf time to go for ultra-distressed denim. Pair it something a li’l more buttoned-up, like a polo or cool camp shirt.

Don’t feel like shelling out? Go DIY on an old pair of jeans. Use a ruler to measure a 9-or 10-inch inseam. Cut it with extra-sharp scissors. Cuff ‘em and go.
