Best Longer Shorts

I have had a few requests for some ideas for longer shorts.  I love the look of a longer short for summer too.  You just have to be careful how you wear them so they don't look too "mom"(not to insult myself and others)! One of my tricks to lengthen shorts is to take out the seam on a rolled short (more on this later) or take them for a $10 tailor and have the seam taken down an inch or two. For me a 7 inch inseam is perfect--good coverage but also cute for summer and the heat (we are going to D.C. for a few weeks this and will be sweatin' it out).

Current Elliot army bermuda shorts (if you unroll them they look cool and are long)

These are my favorite--I have them in many colors--I am wearing them with everything!

Love these too--much better quality than the Old Navy and I like the no-roll
