Slinky, silky shorts have recently become a going-out staple, especially in the warmer seasons, but now dress shorts are making their way in the realm of chic daytime looks to boot! Black, charcoal, brown, and khaki are plentiful enough, but for a look that's a bit more fashion-forward and unique, printed shorts especially are hot for summer! While the idea sounds bold, when paired with a solid top, the look is nothing but stylish and summer appropriate!

Butterfly prints are still in, and these silky draped bubble shorts by ADAM are a chic alternative to a printed skirt or dress. Plaid is easy enough to pull off, but these Rory Beca shorts from Revolve Clothing add a bit more interest to the casual-cool pair with the drawstring side details! For a bolder look, I love these muted floral print shorts from Free People, which combine the retro-chic high-waisted trend with some modern flirty ruffles. Even if you're not a huge fan of wild prints, it's hard not to love a pair of these printed shorts when the season calls for something comfortable and stylish!
