Apart from jeans and basic tees and tanks, there’s really no summer wardrobe item more ubiquitous among the fashion set than a pair of easy high-waisted shorts. Sure, sundresses and skirt sets are popular, but they aren’t what you put on in a flash. On most days, it’s shorts—likely paired with an oversize button-down shirt and some flat sandals—that make the cut.
If your closet looks anything like mine, you probably own a dozen or so pairs of high-waisted shorts already. That said, after wearing the ones in your existing collection multiple days a week for too many summers to count, I bet you’re due for an update (or am I the only one?).
