Happy first day of New York Fashion Week! I have decided to hold off on recapping shows and trends until the shows have really gotten underway so today I bring you one of my favorite summer staples! Lace shorts have been all the rage this summer (yes, it is still summer through the 21st!) in whites, pastels and even blacks. And while love these shorts with a simple tank my favorite styling is with a long sleeve top to give them a balance of class. Take a look at six looks I have been loving:
Lace shorts were big deal this summer and not only are they easy to wear and trendy, but they can be worn with virtually anything and everything. I love the looks above where white shorts are paired with a chambray button-up or a colorful pair with a neutral top. The good news is they can easily transition to winter with a pair of black tights! These three ladies really nailed it:

ISA Professional says
We love all these combinations, they just look so chic and comfortable. A beautiful tan would really make these lacy, white shorts pop!
Mckayla Shea says
Where can you by the orange or pink shorts
Amy Russell says
Love this post! I have a pair I got at the beginning of summer and have had such a hard time styling. You’ve given me some really good ideas! Can’t wait to mix them with fall!

I bought a super cute pair of black lace shorts that I definitely plan to wear into the fall and winter months with tights and booties.

The black tights make the second looks better! I don’t love some lace shorts I think they can be cheap looking but love the idea!

Kelly Ann says
Yes, that or pick up a pair at a summer clearance sale!
Kelly Ann says
I disagree!
Kelly Ann says
Absolutely, I can not wait to see how you style them!
Kelly Ann says
I think you could totally pull them off!
Abby says
I have mixed feelings about this trend. Some of them look cute and feminine, but others remind me way too much of booty shorts/lingerie.. I don’t think I could pull them off at all, haha. My favorite from this post are the white ones tucked in the denim shirt at the top.
xo, Abby @ Always,

I usually only wear them in summer, but I’m almost convinced to try them in fall, too!
KateAdam Florken says
I think that I’m just not trendy enough to pull them off — but they are beautiful for sure!
