The Cutest Shorts You Need To Own For 2022

“Life’s too short to wear boring clothes.” – Unknown

If that’s not true, then I honestly have no idea what is.  Fashion is all about expressing yourself and your personality. It’s about making statements and taking risks. But in all reality, if you truly don’t know anything about fashion, I am telling you that it’s more than okay to admit it. Would you like to know why? Because I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to fashion and dressing myself on a daily basis. Being a three sport athlete for fifteen years while growing up, I wore athletic clothes almost every day and once it came to entering college, I preferred to keep things simple because I didn’t know any other way. My go outfit is jeans, a solid colored pair of sneakers and cute top. I like to call it a day that way. I’ve never been good with picking out shorts, but I am here to tell you that I have done my research and have tried my best to find you the Cutest Shorts to wear this summer.   

Shorts from Lulus

If you have read any of fashion posts, you have learned that I absolutely love the online store Lulus because they have the most adorable items of clothing here—from blouses, tank tops, dresses, shoes and the Cutest Shorts, the prices are affordable, the customer service is fantastic and there is free US shipping for anything over $50.00 and FREE returns on all orders. This website is organized, so if you are looking for something very specific, have no fear as this website breaks everything down for you and if you want to search for item, you can also do that too.

Now with prints being in this summer, one of the Cutest Shorts I have found is the pair below. Not only are they comfy and cute, but they have a “high, elasticized waist with a tying, overlapping layer” which shapes these flirty shorts made from lightweight woven rayon in a black and white leopard print. You can make a statement with these shorts and although I am not the biggest fan of prints, I would (and might) purchase these to wear this summer.

You can never go wrong with a pair of old-fashioned jean shorts either. They match well with almost any top you have in your closet and they’re simple, but chic as well. When I wear jean shorts, I pair it with a white tank top or blouse and some sneakers. It’s a great outfit if you’re constantly on the go or just want a cute outfit to wear out to brunch.

I sure do love overalls and I hope you do too. I think they’re slowly coming back as a popular fashion item because I’ve never seen them as much as I do now. Overalls are a quick and easy way to make an outfit, especially when you’re busy during the summertime. The Cutest Shorts are difficult to find, but not at Lulus, where there are a variety to choose from for your fashion wants and needs.

Amazon

Want athletic shorts, but not sure where to find them? Amazon has all of the Cutest Shorts you will need for your workouts or summertime exploring. This blue and white pair below is a pair that I have in my own closet and they are extremely comfortable and cute! Of course, pairing these with sneakers would be best, but even sandals would work if you’re just wearing them to do errands. Plus side? Pockets! And who doesn’t love pockets in their shorts?!

Lululemon

Who would have thought that biker shorts be one of the Cutest Shorts trends of the summer? Definitely not me, but they are here and making the biggest statement. Lululemon is a fantastic athletic brand online store and I have many items from here. Although they’re a bit on the pricier side, I find that the durable material makes for a longer lasting product which is something I truly love. Try this black pair from here. Pair it with a solid color top and whichever shoes you prefer (I would wear sneakers or sandals) and you are good to go!

American Eagle

You can’t go wrong with high waisted shorts. This is one of my favorite Cutest Shorts trends because they’re sexy in a way that they show off more leg than other shorts that you may own. This pair of American Eagle Outfitters is perfect for summer. It’s a laid back 90’s Boyfriend Short that has a straight cut out seam which makes them extremely comfortable. I also really love this brick red (I think it looks salmon) color. I feel that colored shorts make a fashion statement in the point that you’re not afraid to be bold and take risks. So, if you’re that type of person, then this pair of shorts is for you.

Gap

Lastly, we have the Gap. Personally, I love this store and I shop here all the time. They are constantly bringing in new pieces and there are sales and discounts almost on the daily. I love how they try their best to keep up with the latest fashion trends, especially with it being a brand that isn’t overly popular. Their clothing is affordable, comfortable and easy to pair with other items that you may have in your closet. Now, although jean shorts one of my favorite types of jeans, I prefer the softer material that allows my legs to fully breathe, especially in the humid summer months when almost every day I am wearing them. One of the Cutest Shorts I have are the pair below and I have them in the same exact color—Larkspur Blue. They’re made with a “wood-based fiber produced from trees harvested from sustainable forests where 99% of the raw material comes from certified or controlled sources.” How neat is that? They’re also affordable, cute and a must have in my closest this summer.
