I'm running out for a coffee with a friend: I'm likely throwing on a pair of high-waist denim cutoffs, slip-on Vans, and a ribbed-knit crop top. It's Saturday afternoon, my boyfriend calls and wants to go get drinks at our neighborhood bar before happy hour ends: I'm already in some loose linen shorts, so all I need to do is swap my ratty band tee for a cute, bright crochet top. My best friends and I are going out for dinner in Palm Springs during a weekend getaway: I'm wearing seersucker shorts, maybe even as part of a matching set. You get the idea: Shorts are the versatile summer staple you need in your closet. And you need them in denim and linen and everything in between. Read the story to shop my favorite seven pairs right now.

Copy Editor, Branded Content

Aralyn Beaumont joinedBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoringBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
