Store your Bermuda and board shorts, ladies. Hems are going up this season (as in, they're getting shorter), says Allison Berlin, personal stylist and founder of Style Made Simple. "While this look isn't for all body types, short shorts are more chic for a hot day than a micro-mini skirt," she points out. "Wear with a flowing top and flats to balance out the proportion."

If you want to steer clear of short shorts, stick to cropped pants (yes, they're still in) or dresses to keep chic and cool this summer.
