Shortsighted

I'm not a shorts person. While I do have an unfortunate penchant for the faux-athletic American Apparel variety, which I reserve for the most sweltering of days, I haven't really been able to find the in-between sort that works whether riding a bike or brunching with friends. Enter this adorable pinstriped pair by Rag & Bone. The design is clean, and the navy piping adds a sophisticated touch. They're casual enough for your midday errands, yet tailored enough not to raise the eyebrow of a disapproving salesgirl, should you get distracted and find yourself at Chanel. It happens.

Rag & Bone striped shorts, $230 @ Milk.
