Pick Six: Shorts for Summer

June 24, 2018 By Katie Rushton 1 Comment

“Summer, Summer, Summertime…Time to Sit Back and Unwind”…imagine our best ’90s Will Smith impression here! It’s hot outside, and at a certain point, shorts are the only remedy for the heat, as much as we may dread trying them on in the store. Like swimsuits, shorts can be a little tricky as far as appearance and coverage go. Finding a flattering fit requires a little work. However, it’s so worth it when it’s 95 degrees outside and you’re not stuck in clingy jeans while hanging with friends at a backyard barbecue or rooftop bar, sipping on cool beverages and soaking up the sun. Let your legs breathe and feel confident at the same time.

We’re back with Pick Six to share some of our favorite shorts for summer. We’ve got a variety of styles for a variety of occasions. All five of our stylists (including April, our new gal from Atlanta…intro coming soon) pitched in to come up with this list, so you’re getting a well-rounded curation of summer chic.

 

1. DAILY DENIM

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerThese Lover Baggy Cutoff Denim Shorts in Tamryn by Joe’s is a warm weather wardrobe staple. We love the distressing around the legs and pockets, and the classic blue wash. The high-rise waist and loose-fitting legs won’t constrict our bodies, and the three-inch inseam keeps it classy. Pair these with a plain white t-shirt and casual slides for weekend relaxation, or with a lightweight blouse and wedges for a fun night out.

 

2. COMFY COZY

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerIf you need us, we’ll be in a hammock with our sunnies on, wearing these Tie Waist Safari Shorts in Washed Sand by Loft! That elastic drawstring waistband forgives all  the ice cream we’re bound to eat on a hot summer day, and the linen blend fabric is super soft against the skin. We can see these with a cotton tank and floppy hat. Shoes not required.

 

3. BARELY BASIC

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerYou know we had to throw a pop of color in here. These Riviera Shorts in Coral Blush by Loft have a four-inch inseam, and with a flat front and concealed zipper, they look good on everyone and with everything. This fleshy pink tone is swoon-worthy, but Loft offers many other colors you may like, too. Solid colors beg for a punch of pattern, so feel free to get creative with tops and accessories.

 

4. PATTERN PERFECTION

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerSolids are nice, but so is this checkered pattern! The high waist on these Helene Checked Wrap Shorts in Neutral Motif by Sancia is so slimming, and the tie waist is such a nice touch to wear something a little different. The side panels that wrap around to the front from the sides creates a tulip shape that is ultra feminine and flirty.

 

5. DELICATELY DETAILED

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerThe scallops around the bottom of these Tailored Pique Shorts in White by Banana Republic Factory is a subtle detail that elevates these shorts from basic to uncommon. Crisp summer whites pair well with everything from swimsuit tops to dressy knits. Even a sleek, strappy black high heel can transform a white short look into date night attire.

 

6. EVENING ELEGANCE

Effortless Style Pick Six: Shorts for SummerSpeaking of date night attire, take it one step further into evening territory with a satiny, menswear-inspired short. The High Rise Drapey Shorts with Belt in True Black by Gap is a great choice for going dressy with shorts. They have the same vibe as slinky black dress pants, but add a little edge by letting you show off some leg.

✨CLIENT PERSONAL SHOPPING DAY✨ . Happy Saturda ✨CLIENT PERSONAL SHOPPING DAY✨
.
Happy Saturday gang! It’s been a Personal Shopping kind of week over here at ES, so we thought we’d share a little #behindthescenes of a recent Personal Shopping appointment that Katie R had with a client!
.
Clients hire us for personal shopping for various reasons. Some just want a seasonal upgrade of a few new pieces. Some needs looks for an upcoming business event or trip. Some need a complete overhaul of their wardrobe, and some needs looks for a planned vacation. Whatever the needs of our clients, a personal shopping appointment works a little like this….
.
1) We chat with our client to learn more about their needs and have them fill out an ES client form that gives us even more info.
.
2) We then schedule a date to get together for some shopping.
.
3) On the day of our personal shopping appointment, we arrive a little early to go ahead and pull pieces and looks for our client, so that when they arrive, they will have a dressing room ready for them to start trying on clothes.
.
4) During the personal shopping appointment, we help our clients determine what works and what doesn’t work. What fit works good for their body and what pieces will be good additions to their wardrobe. 
.
Reach out today if our stylists’ can help you with some personal shopping as we transition into a new season and clients are heading on business trips, preparing for fall break vacations, etc!
