Just because you’re wearing shorts doesn’t mean you have to look sloppy. Eva Longoria heated up the streets of Cannes during the film festival earlier in the summer in a pair of tan leather shorts. She combined the toughness of the leather with a ladylike puff sleeved lace top. Longoria’s sleek hair, aviators, and cream colored pumps completed the attention-grabbing summer look.

At a screening of Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23 in NYC, actress Shenae Grimes combined two seasonal trends with her floral pants and leather top. Add an edge to your girly blooms with a black leather t-shirt or sleeveless top. This look would be even hotter with summer’s printed denim shorts.
