Spring officially starts in just a few days and it is time to put away sweaters and heavy weight pants and pull out shorts and light weight skirts. My present collection of shorts is quite basic, in fact I have a few pairs of denim shorts as well as a few basic color regular shorts but this season there are so many wonderful print shorts to wear.

The key for getting a lot of use out of a print short is to make sure that they are versatile.  Pick a simple black and white short and you can pair them with practically any solid color and possibly other print shirts. You can also try to find a very colorful print short so that you can pick up on one of the colors from the shorts and wear a shirt in that color to tie it together.

The Tory Burch Kevin Shorts are a great basic pattern short because they are not overly crazy with color and the pattern, while quite busy, is not distracting.

Floral prints are everywhere this season and the Sachin + Babi Masha Shorts is a great pair of floral shorts if you, especially if you prefer a pair of short longer in length. These shorts have a beautiful grosgrain along the length of the hips as well as the pockets. I love the bottom of the leg holes where they tie.

Perhaps you are looking for a pair of shorts that are very bold and bright. If that is the case then you should consider the Nanette Lepore Tattletale Shorts.

The pair of shorts that I have my eye on at the moment are the L.A.M.B. Gingham Drawstring Shorts. I love the overall shape and cut of the shorts and really love the contrasting gingham trim.
