Fashion Editors From Coast to Coast Think These Shorts Brands Are the Best
Okay, we're kind of stating the obvious here, but given that it's summer, shorts are one of the key staples in our rotations right now. While we recently covered some of our go-to outfits featuring shorts, we thought we'd focus next on the specific brands our fashion editors swear by.
We actually all weighed in about the labels that are best right now in a recent meeting. Believe it or not, there was quite the overlap (ahem, Levi's) among many of the editors, from NYC to L.A. and everywhere in between. The brands in question were deemed front-runners because each offers versatile yet forward silhouettes that could really withstand the test of time. The lines also skew on the more affordable end, with most silhouettes ringing in under $100.
Keep scrolling to check out the shorts brands our fashion editors from coast to coast are all about.
1. Levi's
This is one brand that a few of our fashion editors have been wearing on repeat for years and years. The denim selection (especially the Bermuda option this season) is top-notch.
2. Madewell
If you're looking for an easy pair of shorts that's stylish as well, Madewell is bound to have an option.
3. & Other Stories
From sporty iterations to more tailored picks, the selection of shorts at & Other Stories is definitely one to consider.
4. BP
Nordstrom's in-house label BP offers up a smattering of trendy shorts that mostly ring in under $50.
5. Open Edit
Open Edit is actually the newest Nordstrom line that one of our NYC-based editors is wearing a lot right now, shorts included.
6. H&M
You just can't beat the wide array of shorts at H&M. There's everything from basics to trend-forward picks.
7. Zella
For those more athletic and sportier styles, Zella was mentioned as a favorite for the comfortable cuts.
