19 Pairs of Shorts That Are Total Fashion “Do’s”

Who wears short shorts? We do. Where ever we want. Picnics and beach trips, even cocktail parties. Here are the best styles for 2022—from designer short suits to leather to embroidered pockets.

“I wouldn’t be seen dead in shorts!" Helen Mirren once exclaimed. I adore Mirren and think she's brilliant in every movie she's in. But I have to disagree with her here. We're thinking that maybe Dame Mirren hadn't seen the current crop of shorts. For those of us still happy to be in the gam game, there's a whole range of gorgeous styles: wrapped, ruffled, wildly printed, canvas, linen, denim, leather. For many people, shorts have definitely preempted skirts as a summer sartorial style choice.

Shorts (in the right style) can be worn to cocktail parties and to the office. Oh wait. Most of us are working from home. Well, then, you definitely can wear shorts to work, and they will be a nice upgrade from PJ bottoms on your Zoom calls.
