Brittney Stephens — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:01:05 PST

If you're looking for someone to blame for your current short-shorts addiction, may we suggest Dr. Zoe Hart (played expertly by Rachel Bilson) from Hart of Dixie? Answering the age-old question "can doctors wear shorts?" with a resounding yes, Zoe shrugs off criticism from her fellow Bluebell-ians by sporting short-shorts under her lab coat with confidence and aplomb. From slouchy leather, to soft scallops, to laid-back cuffed denim, Zoe's penchant for shorts is chic and refreshing - no matter how "inappropriate" Lemon Breeland thinks she is. Click through to see - and shop - seven of our favorite Hart of Dixie short-shorts moments.

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. Click through to get inspired by the rest of our celebrity crew, then shop their looks.

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.
