With the last day of classes right around the corner, summer is finally so close! The weather the past couple of weeks has been wonderful and shorts season is officially here. This much anticipated time of the year has so many perks. This summer my favorite trend is shorts that give you plenty of breathing room. Comfort is always a key component of my daily wardrobe so I highly recommend trying to ditch the traditional skin-tight jean shorts and try flowy shorts. From floral patterns to simple solids, shorts this season have it all. These shorts are so versatile and can be worn during the day or even be paired with heels at night. From classy to flirty to trendy, flowy shorts have so much potential to spice up any wardrobe. Some of my favorites this summer can be found on sites such as Shopbop, Brandy Melville, and Zara! Try incorporating some of these flirty looks into your summer gear! 

 

These Joie shorts are not a bit short of heaven. Putting these on in the morning is wonderful because it feels as if you are slipping right back into your pajamas. The pattern on these shorts makes them even more trendy and can be put with so many different tops for so many different occassions. They are breezy and and exciting. Shopbop paired them with a loose crop-top; however, it is so easy to throw on any tank top or even a white tube top if you are going for a dressier look. 

These black shorts may not have an exciting pattern, but they are the perfect simple shorts for a dressy dinner or date night. The number of tops that can be put with these shorts is endless. Additionally, they have pockets!! I am never one to enjoy carrying around a bag, and now I really dont have to! You can throw your phone and credit card right in the pocket making them the ideal shorts for a night out. The positives are never ending. 

 

Polka-dots are always the best way to add a pattern to your look. They are so happy and easy. If you are looking for a Fourth of July outfit, these shorts could be put with a simple red top for the most patriotic and stylish look. On a hot day these shorts will be nothing short of flawless. The shorts are a statement on their own which relieves the pressure of having to also find a great top. 

Brandy Melville brings out the fashionista in everyone. The brand is great for people with any style. These shorts are cozy and cute and they are the perfect beach look! The stripes give them a laid-back feel and the ruffled bottom is a great touch that any girly-girl will love!

Flowy shorts are all over the place. I have never been so grateful for a trend because they are so adaptable to any situation. From beach days to rainy days to relaxing night and crazy nights, flowy shorts have the potential to give any girl her most stylish summer yet!
