If there’s one thing I’m always on the hunt for in the summer, it’s a good pair of shorts. I want them to be comfortable enough for chasing my boys around all day, but still cute enough to throw on with a tank and sandals and feel put together.

This summer, I keep reaching for a few favorites on repeat. A classic denim pair is always a staple in my closet because they go with literally everything, from graphic tees to lightweight sweaters for cooler evenings. I’m also loving easy pull-on shorts with a drawstring waist for busy days when comfort is the priority (which, let’s be honest, is most days!). And if we’re heading out for dinner or church, I love a more tailored linen-style short that feels a little elevated without sacrificing comfort.

The best part? All of these styles are easy to mix and match with pieces I already own, making getting dressed one less thing to think about during these busy summer days. If you’re looking to refresh your warm-weather wardrobe, these are the shorts I’d start with!
