Sometimes that just-right outfit starts at the bottom, which in this case means Trekker Jogger Shorts made with Lived-In fabric that’s been specially washed and broken-in for instant comfort. Pick a neutral pull-on short in navy or black, then add a pop of personality up top with a hoodie in a fun color like pink or green.

Need an extra layer for chilly beach nights? Throw a denim jacket over the hoodie, then round out the ‘fit with bright white sneakers and a baseball hat.

Outfit #2: Shorts + Graphic Tee + Button-Up Shirt

Start this outfit with a bold graphic tee featuring your favorite band, team, or pop culture icon, then add a printed button-up shirt. Keep the shirt unbuttoned for a laid-back look, or button it allll the way up for a “meeting the parents” vibe.

Choose a light color Trekker Jogger Short and wear it with sandals to keep your look relaxed but confident.

Outfit #3: Shorts + T-Shirt + Flannel Hoodie
