Women's shorts for summer: Denim, Bermuda, linen and more

July 10, 2024, 4:10 PM
It's shorts season!
With summer underway, we're shopping for women's shorts across all styles: high-waisted shorts, Bermuda shorts, denim shorts, pull-on shorts and more. We're considering shorts for all occasions: think summer parties, work, beach vacations and beyond.
Since shorts are such a summer staple, consider pairs you can style in multiple ways. Banana Republic's linen shorts, for example, can be dressed up or down: style with a T-shirt and Birkenstocks for a casual summer day or pair with a black silky tank top and matching strappy heels for an evening look. We also suggest stocking up on comfortable denim shorts you can wear daily and athletic shorts to keep you cool on an outdoor adventure.
Check out all of our picks below!
