4 Alternatives to Summer Shorts

With only 6 weeks left of summer, this is the time of the season where I can't wait for fall - cozy sweaters, leather jackets and booties!  Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to wish away summer but I am getting sick of my summer wardrobe.  

For many a great pair of shorts is their summer uniform, but for those who don't like to wear shorts (that's me) or need other options to wear on these hot summer days - here are a 4 alternatives to summer shorts that are easy, cool and casual and can carry you into fall.

Maxi Skirt


Trade in your cutoffs for a maxi skirt, pair it with a tee and a sneaker and you have an elevated casual look - that's both comfy and cool. 

Transition this look into fall - Throw on a lightweight sweater, denim jacket and a pair of booties.

Jumpsuit


Hands down, jumpsuits are my absolute favorite thing to wear in the summer.  Easy, breazy, comfortable and chic. 

Transition this look into fall - Put on a plaid button down (tie it in the front), leather jacket and a pair of sneakers.

Linen Pants


Not a fan of baring your legs?  A pair of linen summer pants are the perfect option for you.  Lightweight, comfortable and on-trend.  I love the paperbag waist style right now with a cropped leg!

Transition this look into fall - With a cream cardigan, a white tee and a pair of tan heels.

Midi Dress


If you want a little more coverage for your legs, but still want to feel feminine, chose a midi dress.  You will stay cool in the hot summer sun and be stylish.  Pair your dress with sandals or sneakers, depending on the occasion.

Transition this look into fall - With a cropped chunky turtlneck sweater, leather jacket and a pair of heeled booties.
