I'm in My 30s-These Are the Shorts I Will and Won't Wear Anymore

I love shorts. No matter my age, I'll never be someone who doesn't wear them. I grew up in the South, and after a long hiatus living elsewhere, I'm back, so wearing shorts is second nature to me when it's hot out. But as I approach age 36, I drift farther and farther away from the types of shorts I wore in my 20s.

Before I continue, I will say that I don't believe in "dressing for your age." As cliché as it sounds, age is just a number and you should dress however you feel the most comfortable. This is just my personal experience with this most popular of summer items. That said, as I move closer to 40, the shorts in my closet have changed along with the rest of my wardrobe, for one reason or another, and I'm happy to see that current shorts trends are coincidentally reflective of that.
