1. A pair of ruffled shorts that'll make you feel like you're wearing a skirt, except you won't have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone when you're on the move.
2. A pair of beige jean shorts if you tend to lean towards an earth-toned colour scheme. They're mega on sale right now, so you might as well snatch them up before they're gone!
3. A pair of French terry sweat shorts that'll keep you feeling comfy and carefree on lazy days. They tie at the waist, so you can adjust 'em as needed.
4. A pair of denim mom shorts in case you need a refresh on this summer essential. Reviewers appreciate that they're not so short that they're cheeky and love that the legs are on the wider side (which they say prevents them from riding up).
5. A pair of lululemon Align shorts because they're buttery soft and oh-so-flattering. Whether you're working out or chillin' at home, these are sure to become a go-to.
6. A form-fitting romper that looks a whole lot like the ones from Aritzia (except this one is more affordable). You can wear it as is, but it'd also be perfect to wear under skirts and dresses.
7. A pair of Way-High canvas shorts because you can never have too many high-rise staples in your closet, IMO. They're made of lightweight cotton that has a bit of stretch, meaning you'll actually be able to sit in them (let's say adios to any piece of clothing dubbed "standing-only", shall we?).
8. A pair of funky linen shorts that are so bright and fun, they'll conjure up sunny vibes every time you put them on. They've got a relaxed fit that'll provide a little air flow on those sweaty summer days (you're welcome).
9. A pair of Y2K-inspired poplin shorts if low-rise bottoms are your thang. They're equipped with cargo pockets on the sides that are roomy enough to stash your lip balms, credit cards, and whatever other doodads you like to have on-hand.
10. A pair of comfy jogger shorts if you're looking for something a little breezier to replace your sweat pants. You can wear them out and about, as pyjama bottoms, on a run — or for all of the above.
11. A pair of pleated shorts you'll be happy to have as an option for special occasions when you're not feelin' a dress, but still wanna look fancy.
12. Or a pair of trouser shorts if you wanna look dressy, but don't wanna spend an arm and a leg on something high-end.
13. A pair of low-rise skater shorts because they're just so ~in~ right now. Slouchy, relaxed, and trendy? Yes, please.
14. A pair of patterned slip-on shorts that'll help you embrace a fun 'n' fresh summer vibe. The front of the waistband sits flat, but it's elasticized at the back for comfort (and so you can actually slide them on!).
15. A pair of Levi's overall shorts because they're just so heckin' cute. They'll see you through all of your warm-weather adventures, whether you're having a picnic with pals or zhuzh-ing up your garden.
16. A pair of black denim shorts that'll look just as good with sandals as they will with chonky black boots. They'll make you feel like the certified baddie you are, especially if you pair it with a ~hip~ graphic tee.
17. A sporty skort if you plan on hitting the tennis courts once it gets warmer. Reviewers love that the shorts stay in place and that the material doesn't bunch up around their hips.
18. A pair of smocked shorts that you can throw on, without having to think too hard about your outfit. If you love a ~chill~ vibe, these babies were made for you.
19. And finally, a pair of bestselling bike shorts that'll feel like a second skin. They're comfy, cute, and they have pockets.
We are *so* close to summer, y'all.
