If you don’t consider shorts a part of your spring and summer wardrobe, you are missing out! That’s right, ladies, this hot summer staple is not just for your daughter, and it’s not just for the gym. The right pair of shorts can take you from a relaxing day at the beach to a fun night out … and anywhere in between. If you need to test the waters before diving in, choose a classic like the CAbi Dinner Short, and you’ll see how many outfits this one item can create! Pair them with a casual tank top and flip flops for errands in the morning, something flowy and floral like the CAbi Rosa Blouse and wedges for lunch with the girls, or a silky number and strappy heels for dinner and dancing. This sassy short grants your every wardrobe wish! The next time you have a day filled with lunches and meetings and play dates galore, leave the khakis at home and let your shorts carry you through!

When you’re ready to dive into your second pair, we recommend a fuller, pleated short. A hot trend you’ll see everywhere this season, this style almost doubles as a skirt. Go places you never thought shorts could go … like the office or a cocktail party! Check out CAbi’s Trolley Short for just a fraction of the cost of these other designer labels.

• Diamond, Rectangle or Full Figure:  A slim cut Bermuda-style short will flatter your figure and look totally chic paired with a long flowy top such as CAbi’s Butterfly Tunic.

• Hourglass:  A wider leg that is slim through the hip will hug your curves perfectly; stick with that formula and you can try a variety of lengths. Flatter your oh-so-feminine shape with a belt cinched in at the waist.

• Triangle:  Pair a straight leg short with a top that highlights your waist. Add a fitted blazer over the top for instant sophistication.
