1. Pair Your Chino Shorts With a Printed Tee

There’s something so deceptively easy about a printed tee. You can keep it simple with pinstripes, or you can make a bold statement with broader stripes. If you’re easing into prints, go with subtle colors or muted neutrals to balance the outfit.

2. Wear Colored Chino Shorts With a Neutral Polo

Feeling a little bolder? Nothing quite says summer like a splash of coral in your clothes. Brighter-colored chino shorts are the way to go if you prefer neutrals up top, or if your classic shirts are hankering some jazzing up. Favor a timeless polo in black or white to further elevate the look.

3. Try Colored Chino Shorts With a Colored Tee

The key here is to get a tee in a color that complements your shorts (think light blue for coral or orange shorts). Colors that are opposite in the color wheel are always a safe bet, and once you cover that, the print world is your oyster! A contrast trim around the neck gives your fit some extra character.

4. Partner Khaki Chino Shorts With a Popover Shirt

Dressing up your khaki chino shorts? Trust the magic of a popover shirt in a light summer color, which will add zest and keep you fresh all at once. If you prefer to stay in neutral territory, stretch for a crisp white shirt in a cool material such as linen or lightweight cotton.
