When it comes to styling, summer is the season of simplicity — less layering and more breezy tank tops and loose-fitted shorts. While shorts may seem like a lazy option to endure the heat, they can serve as both a classic base for an outfit or an accent to highlight your entire look.
In our latest style guide, we've put together looks for the summer season revolving around some of our favorite shorts. Our picks range from everyday staples such as Hypebeast Goods and Services' lounge shorts to bright-colored options from Dime, as well as Fear of God's shorter design for an elevated look. Depending on the occasion, you can style these wardrobe staples with shirts and loafers, or sweatshirts and sneakers.

If you're going for a more elevated feel, Maison Kitsuné's belted shorts extend slightly below the knee and come in a clean silhouette, making the garment suitable for occasions that lean more towards smart casual. We're adding bold prints and colors with Needles' Cowboy One-Up Shirt along with In Gold We Trust's chain choker necklace. For footwear, explore options outside of your usual sneaker rotation with boots or loafers, like this two-tone pair from Vinny's.

Shorts may seem like a casual dressing option, but like with any other garment, it's all about how you style them. For an elevated look, pair your shorts — take Fear of God's nylon shorts for example — with an oversized dress shirt like Stripes for Creative's blue-and-white design. This look is rounded out with statement-making ankle boots and everyday sunnies from Waid.
