Allison McNamara — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:30:59 PDT

The transition into warmer months is one of our favorite times of the year, but dressing the part can be tricky. We headed over to Madewell in Century City and styled up a pair of loose, high-waisted shorts that will carry you seamlessly into sunny weather. Take a cue from the tribal looks on the Spring 2012 runways and try out an Aztec print top, or pair your shorts with a chambray button-up layered underneath a short sleeve sweater while it's still a tad chilly out. Watch today's episode for some great transitional outfit inspiration!

It's High Time: 15 High-Waisted Shorts to Show Off Your Stems For Spring

Hannah Weil — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:13:33 PDT

Like Ruby Aldridge in MiH's Spring campaign, we want a pair of shorts that make our legs look just as impossibly long. We may not have supermodel genes on our side, but we're embracing the same high-waist silhouette to flaunt what we've got. If you fear the high waist, know this: the style cinches you right in at the smallest point on your waist and gives the illusion of mile-long stems. Of course, you can always opt to go as long as you like or as short as you dare. With a shorter set, the vibe's a bit more pin-up, while a denim pair has that '70s cool - any way you like it, these are a must-have silhouette with playfully chic appeal.

Rihanna's Hot Pants Inspire Our Next Outfit

Noria Morales — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:00:05 PDT

Inspiration strikes from the darndest places! At a recent concert in England, Rihanna rocked out in hot pants over two consecutive days. We adore the sexy look onstage, but it's not the easiest style to take outside the music fest world. At least, you would think. We've got a couple of months of warm weather to enjoy, and it's a great time to rock out your own high-waist shorts. Here are our styling tips to make Rihanna's performing shorts your own:

Silky Blouse: Tuck your shorts into a silk blouse and pair with pointy-toe heels for a seriously sexy evening look.

Slouchy Tee: Tuck a slouchy tee into your shirts and pair with Keds and a tote bag for a casual end-of-Summer look.

Sweater: Wear a rich jewel-toned crewneck sweater that hits at the hip; add a skinny belt in a bright pop of neon, and pair with booties for a cool transitional outfit.

Tights: If you're worried that buying shorts now seems like a silly idea, think of the possibilities with tights! Try a rocker chick look with opaque black tights, or go for a '70s boho vibe with knit tights.

How to Dress Up Your Shorts

As a Summer staple, we reserve the right to wear our shorts constantly from June through August, and as much of September as we can get away with. But while more typically we're turning to our shorter bottoms for beach days and BBQs, we're newly inspired to dress them up, thanks to these five celebrity examples. Between Katie Cassidy giving hers a breezy-chic spin for an event, Nicky Hilton styling hers up for a night out, and Kourtney Kardashian showing off a work-appropriate pair - there's more than a few ways to show off your stems in this summery staple.

Our Favorite High-Waisted Shorts For Summer

Hannah Weil — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:05:50 PDT

After spying high-waisted shorts on the runway - see Tibi, far left, and Adam's Spring 2011 collection, and then in some of our favorite editorials including a lovely Glamour cover with Freida Pinto, we got the hint - these shorts-up-to-here are too cute to pass up. For starters, we love that a higher waist means we can get away with wearing our cropped knits and tees, while showing off our stems. And, if you prefer to keep it more covered up, high-waisted styles are ideal for tucking in your button-downs and blouses - it makes your outfit seem sharp and helps create an hourglass figure. We've narrowed it down to 10 of our favorites, so just shop our editor's picks to start styling up your own pair.
