If you like shorts, have a selection that includes white shorts, denim shorts, printed shorts and maybe one or two in bright colors of your choosing. Choose shorts with pockets that cover the back of your butt if you want robust shorts that cannot be seen through.

A cool casual look comes from pairing shorts with t-shirts and sneakers. Or, wear printed shorts with a solid top and a pair of neat sandals. For an edgy look, pair the shorts with a leather or pleather jacket over a nice t-shirt. For fun, pair the shorts with duck boots and thick socks (winter) or thin socks (summer). Dress up your shorts with a Tuxedo blazer, tank and heels. For a party, wear shorts with a flowing blouse and sparkling shoes.
