The tailored short is a must-have in my summer wardrobe – I love how versatile they are for going from casual school drop-offs to dressed up a bit for dinner! A few good options currently available are the Quince shorts in stretch crepe (10″ rise, 4.25″ inseam) and the Madewell Harlow shorts in drape twill (12″ rise, 4″ inseam). Although both inseams measure similarly, the Madewell shorts feel longer on my frame due to the rise (see on me). Another option is the Artizia Effortless short (in mini or mid thigh length), which start in size 00 and fit smaller at the waist.
The Quince shorts are my most-worn pair, and the elastic back makes them comfy for all day wear! The stretch crepe stays pretty wrinkle-free, the shorts are machine washable (I hang dry afterwards). You can find some more of my Quince try-on videos here.
