I’m just going to come out and say, it– thank goodness for boyfriend fashion! After retiring all of the too-tight, muffin-top inducing skinny jeans from my closet in favor of comfy boyfriend jeans like my favorite white pair from Current/Elliott, it’s been hard to imagine squeezing into a pair of short shorts for the summertime.
Hence, my official most-loved item of the summer: The Boyfriend Short. Well-worn-in and a little baggy, these shorts are cute without revealing too much and let you move easily in the hot, humid weather. Last week, I found myself wearing a pair almost every day. I adore the look and fit so much, that I own boyfriend shorts in different brands, lengths, and washes. It’s easy to style these shorts. Go casual with a comfy tee and sneakers, dress them up with a nice blouse and statement necklace, or for a really on-trend look, pair them with a crop top.
Below, I picked three of my favorite boyfriend shorts at varying price points for different budgets:

Do you love the boyfriend short trend as much as I do or are you still devoted to your Daisy Dukes? Let me know in the comments!

You’re welcome, Krystal! I have two pairs of the GAP shorts, but find myself wearing the Old Navy ones more! Such a great deal.

Haha!! Okay!! So embarrassing, I get most of my trend information from my husband! He researches fashion trends WAY in advance to design his headwear at work lol. He’ll come home and tell me that… bird prints are going to be huge soon haha.
