Summer will soon be on the wane, and the mid-July proliferation of sales means it’s high time to score a deal on shorts. Heck, if you can find a pair under $30, you might as well pick up every color in a style. To help you with your search, here are three pairs under $30 guaranteed to be worn more than once.
J. Crew Factory 7-Inch Broken-In Reade Short
Here’s a little secret: J.Crew Factory is a great place to score insane deals. It’s their outlet store, but the quality is nearly as good as their main line (and the prices are a whole lot better). There are tens of shorts for under $30 available on its website, but the Reade short comes in all the classic colors and features a flattering fit that hits above the knee.
Lands’ End Camp Shorts
For stylish basics, Lands’ End has become a surprisingly solid source the last several years. These cargo Camp Shorts are as far as possible from their dowdy mail-order basics of yore, and the slim front pocket and corduroy construction are quite handsome. Though they’re called camp shorts, they’ll look just as good worn around the city as they will roughing it.
