Saturday Shopping: Short Shorts (that aren't too short)

In the summer I live in shorts and tanks or t-shirts.  It's the easiest mom friendly outfit that can wash and wear day after day.   I've rounded up some of my favorite short shorts that aren't too short.  I feel like so many shorts have 2in or 2.5in inseams which is just way too short for me these days!  At the same time I'm not looking to wear Bermuda shorts either so thankfully there are cute options in between. 

My hands down favorites for years and years are the J.Crew chino shorts.  I wear the 4in ones now but for years (pre-kids) wore the 3in ones.  

J.Crew 4in Chino 

These fall at the perfect length on my thighs and don't feel like I'm exposing anything.  They are also made of thicker material so they hide any imperfections.  I just picked up this red pair for this summer, perfect for 4th of July! 

Old Navy 3.5in Everyday Twill Shorts

I have actually never worn Old Navy shorts until this year!  When I was in ON last month these were on sale for $15 so I decided to give them a try.  I was surprised but they were so flattering on me and the length at 3.5in was completely appropriate.  

Lilly Pulitzer 5in Callahan Shorts 

I discovered these shorts a few years ago and I've never looked back!  They are a bit of a splurge for shorts but I can tell you they are great quality and will last forever.  I also love all the fun prints they come in.  The 5in inseam doesn't seem too long either and the cut of them is really flattering on most body types.   

J.Crew Factory 3in Boardwalk Pull On Shorts 

I love love love these shorts and think they are great post-baby shorts too.  The thick pull on elastic waist is very flattering and hides that extra belly well.  Even though they are 3in I usually wear them lower on my hips making them longer and more appropriate.   

What are your favorite shorts for summer?
