Slim, stylish shorts are a summer style essential, whether you’re heading to fireworks this coming weekend or a summer music festival thereafter.

Finding stylish yet subtle ways to work in seasonally appropriate color is a tricky balance to master. And yet, a soft T-shirt in a distinctive Lake Blue color is precisely the way to go, as it plays nicely off the blue chambray shorts (which nod to the U.S.A, of course).
