There's nothing that says casual cool more than a pair of denim cut-off shorts. It's the perfect summer staple that transitions you from day to night. I choose to pair the cutoffs with neutral browns to have a more bohemian appeal. The lug sole heels are a huge summer trend that tends to give your look a little more of an edge.

If heels aren't your thing, you can easily swap them out for comfy flats. My go-to's are ankle strap sandals, or Converse. Quintessential California girl.
