Best Women’s Shorts at Target

Is Your Wardrobe Summer-Ready Yet? Shop Our Favourite Target Shorts, Starting at $7

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

While T-shirt dresses and cotton rompers tempt us, there's just something casually cool about shorts when the weather warms. Dinner plans? No problem, grab a dressy paper-bag pair. Lounging all day (in private or public)? There's something for all tastes from loose terry options to sleek biker shorts, too. And, even if your days are a bit sportier, find styles that work hard and play hard for outdoor exercising that blends into brunch.

We're already set to say so long, pants and hello, shorts, so we looked for Target bottoms to match our favourite tops for the new season. How will you style this item for spring (and summer)? Get inspired with our 23 Target picks ahead.
