There's something undeniably summery [1] about a pair of shorts, from well-worn cutoffs to tailored twill bottoms. Not only can they pair just as easily with a tee [2] as a fancier top [3], but the same also holds true for any shoes, from sandals to sneakers [4].
Since the next (hopefully hot [5]) season is fast approaching, we browsed hundreds of shorts at Old Navy [6] and picked out the 25 pairs we like best. There's a wide range of inseams, from 1.5 inches all the way to nine inches, so whether you like to keep things short and sweet or go long, there's a pair in here for you. Now, who said selling ourselves short(s) was a bad thing?! Check out our favourites ahead.
