Kendall Jenner
We see you summer. Whether your plans include spontaneous road trips to Vegas, classy rooftop parties or a boatload of outdoor concerts, we guarantee there is a shorts style for the occasion.
For instance, this heat wave has got you saying yes to spur-of-the-moment road trips. To keep it cool on lengthy car rides, you can't go wrong with a movable terry-cloth fabric, like the model's heather gray pair. Bonus, if it comes in a set like Kendall's, you can easily live in it all day long once you arrive to Sin City (or elsewhere).

Summer concerts are basically your reason for living once vacay mode sets in. However, dressing for the occasion can get boring and predictable (what with the usual uniform of concert tees and cutoffs). To keep it interesting, denim shorts with embroidery details will keep your look separate from the rest.

We can't all be supermodels, but we can try, especially when the plan is to party it up on the rooftop somewhere in the city. To match the urban city vibe of an afternoon filled with vino and adult chit chat, a pair of fashion-girl-approved bermuda shorts will make you look the part. Just look for something in a lightweight fabric with a loose fit.

We don't know about you, but just looking at this pic of the supermodel in classic denim, paired with gladiator lace-ups, immediately transports us to Greece. No mater your vacay destination, if you're spending the day exploring, there's only one rule: Keep it simple and comfortable.

It's the great debate that never ends: Are shorts appropriate office wear? Yes, but it depends on length and fit. To get it right, go for a pair like the youngest Olsen: longer, tailored and pleated. This way you'll look professional but still cool. Besides, you can wear these out later to happy hour, too.

A dress on date night is so predictable. While denim might not cut it for an evening affair, a tailored pair of silky shorts that aren't too loose or too tight have the same curve-hugging appeal. Style yours with heels and a slicked-back hairstyle, like the model, and you just reinvented sexy.
