STAY COOL AND LOOK HOT IN THESE SIX ALTERNATIVES TO SHORTS

There are a lot of great things about summer: cocktails al fresco, sandals, gelato and, of course, the beach! One not-so-great thing? The pressure to wear shorts. Newsflash: you don’t have to. There are plenty of airy options that are at once chic and comfortable during scorching summer days (and even work appropriate!). Here are some of my favorites:
