It’s shorts season!! Shopping for shorts for the summer can be a painstaking process, and having a wide variety of styles to choose from can make it all even more difficult. We hit Old Navy to do a summer shorts try-on haul, because the prices are great and the options are aplenty! We found that most styles tend to run a little big, so if you’re in-between sizes, we do recommend sizing down. See summer shorts styles from Old Navy below.
These khaki-colored chino shorts can be dressed up or dressed down!
These striped linen shorts are perfect for a lake day on the boat!
These beige linen shorts are great for a beach day!
These hot pink shorts are such a fun look for summer!
Summer = white denim. Need we say more?
These plaid shorts are great for a casual work vibe!
These gray pull-on shorts are super versatile for summer.
These athletic shorts are ideal for a summer workout!
Don these tie-waist shorts for date night!
These black linen shorts can be worn for so many occasions, and bonus points for being super comfy.
Black denim is a sleek twist on a classic!
Cuffed denim shorts add a little style, and a touch of distressing makes them more casual.
Dark cuffed denim is great for a dressier, more sophisticated vibe.
Light-wash distressed denim shorts are great for a picnic or backyard BBQ.
Cutoff denim shorts are great for a girls’ day out!
And if you want a break from wearing shorts all summer, a denim skirt is the perfect option!
