We’re officially past the halfway point of summer, but there’s still plenty of skin-baring time to be enjoyed. You’ve been living in dresses, skirts, and shorts all season, so you’re likely in need of a summer style refresher. Well, lucky you: We’ve put together a mini roundup of shorts outfit ideas to give your end-of-summer look a boost.
Because temperatures can still hit well into the 80- and 90-degree range post-Labor Day, these combos will keep you cool–and cute–well into September. There’s a shorts outfit here to suit virtually any vibe or occasion since, as you know, the leg-baring wardrobe staple isn’t just for casual looks.
So whether you’re searching out a seaside-inspired date ‘fit or an effortless ensemble for weekend brunch and errands, scroll on and allow us to aid in your quest. From tailored Bermuda shorts to leopard print denim cutoffs, these shorts outfits run the style gamut–but they are all undeniably cool.
1. Modern Nautical
We love a themed look but the key is to keep it chic and not costume-worthy. An off-the-shoulder top with striped Bermuda shorts and gold accessories is equal parts sexy, sophisticated, and seaside-ready.

2. Urban Safari
Welcome to the jungle, babe. Mixing natural details like tortoiseshell and woven fabrics with sleek, modern silhouettes makes for a sexy summer date look. Bonus: This orange shade is a major Fall 2019 trend, so you can rock this shorts outfit right through transitional season.

3. Effortlessly Cool
If you live in denim cutoffs, consider this pair your instant upgrade. With an army jacket, croc bag, sneakers, and mirrored sunglasses, you’ve got a laid-back, casual shorts outfit with just the right amount of edge.
