Shorts for Warm-Weather Travel
What's in the collection
These women's shorts are made for spring and summer trips. You'll find denim styles with frayed or raw hems, a knee-length denim Bermuda, flowy elastic-waist shorts, pleated pairs with pockets, and two skorts for a skirt look with shorts underneath.
Prints and details
Patterns run from solid neutrals to florals, gingham, stripes, checks, embroidery and leopard print. Ruffle hems, lace trim, tassel drawstrings and tied waists add easy detail without extra effort. Many styles are cut as minis, so they stay light on hot days.
How to wear them
For sightseeing, pair denim or striped shorts with a tank or tee. For the beach, flowy or drawstring styles go over a swimsuit and come off easily. For festivals and evenings out, try distressed denim or a leopard print pair with a simple top. Elastic and drawstring waists make them easy to pack and comfortable to wear for a long travel day.
Questions about vacation shorts
Which shorts work best for a beach vacation?
Look for the elastic-waist and drawstring styles, such as the flowy shorts, frill drawstring shorts and striped pairs. They are tagged for beach wear and are easy to slip on over a swimsuit.
What is a skort?
A skort looks like a skirt from the front but has shorts built in. The Printed Tie Skort and the Leopard Print Tassel Drawstring Skort are two options here.
Are there longer options besides minis?
Yes. The Distressed Frayed Hem Denim Bermuda Shorts are knee length, and several pairs, like the pleated shorts and printed denim, come in a regular length.
Do any of these have stretch?
Several include elastane or spandex, including the printed denim, the Bermuda shorts and the high waist ribbed waistband shorts. Check each product's fabric listing for the blend.
