You know the routine if you’re still making Zoom calls from home: professional from the waist up, informal from the waist down. Why not be both casual and stylish? Denim shorts have a polished appearance while remaining comfortable. The silkiness of the blouse dresses up the shorts without appearing too formal, and the clay earrings add a splash of color. This summer, the cottage core trend is still going strong.

If you want to change up your appearance from nap dresses, try wearing a bulky cardigan with pintuck-seamed shorts for an old-school vintage impression. Finish the appearance with oxfords, and you’re set for a forest adventure—or one of your everyday walks while listening to folklore. We have the perfect attire for individuals who will abandon black in favor of a darker hue. When coupled with an oversized black blazer dress, Good American’s black denim shorts may be dressed up.

 You’re set to hit the town with a statement belt and black heels (or combat boots). Summer brings back alfresco dining and the chance to catch up with friends for brunch (while still following the CDC guidelines, of course). The pleated denim shorts from Express provide structure to your ensemble, while the jacket adds color. Add a phone bag to store all of your essentials in one place.
