Here are three of our favorites - click here for five more acceptable options.

2. These Trina Turk Camden Bow Shorts ($188) are understated, yet still dressy enough to wear to dinner.

3. I like the J. Crew Chino 9" Shorts ($42) since they're simple, comfortable, and come in nine different spring colors.
