In the late 1950's, Lilly Pulitzer lived a life of luxury in Palm Beach, Florida. Her husband, Peter, owned several citrus groves and Lilly decided to open a juice stand that fresh squeezed the citrus from Peter's groves. Understandably, juicing ruined the employees' clothes and she put her mind to designing a uniform that concealed stains. She placed the task to her dressmaker and the end result was a sleeveless shift fashioned from vibrant printed cotton. Vivid pink, green, yellow, and orange swirled on the dress that also flaunted lining and lace seam bindings.

Customers flipped over the custom dress and after multiple requests for purchase, Lilly put in an order to her dressmaker and sold the dress at her stand. The colorful dress soon outsold her juice and Lilly decided to abandon the juice stand and focus on the art of fashion. Soon, Jackie Kennedy, an old friend of Lilly's from school, started wearing Lilly Pulitzer dresses. A photo of Jackie in a Lilly Pulitzer classic shift was printed in Life Magazine. A sensation was born.

Lilly Pulitzer clothing, footwear, and accessories epitomize the preppy lifestyle of affluence and effortless fashion. The shoes are colorful, comfortable, and well crafted. The Lilly Pulitzer shoe collection includes fashionable shoes for weddings and parties, as well as classic driving moccasins and flip-flops for around town. Whether heading to Hawaii on vacation or going to a friend's for the weekend, don't forget to pack your Lilly Pulitzer shoes!

The heart of Lilly Pulitzer remains in the clothing. Signature Lilly prints grace pants, capris, shorts, polo shirts, sweaters, and of course, dresses. The Lilly Pulitzer brand has also embraced solids in Lilly's palette of juicy colors. For the beach, pool, or exotic resort, Lilly Pulitzer swimwear will elevate your style quotient. Every body is divine in their "Lillys." The joy of purchasing Lilly Pulitzer is knowing that you have purchased a timeless article of Americana.

I was really looking forward to wearing these shorts this summer, but it is probably not to be. The good: Super soft and comfy cotton, good length on both the in and out seams. They look and feel well made. I'd happily wear these if they would just fit right. The bad: The shape. Granted, I sometimes have a hard time finding jeans and shorts that fit right. I have 38" hips and a 26.5" to 27" waist, so gaping is regularly an issue. I was hopeful that these would work since they have a higher back rise than front, which helps a lot. No such luck. I measured the gap at the back; 3.75 inches. If I wear them low enough on my hips to not gap they are just a hair above being indecent in the back and the crotch is hanging way too low. I'm not going to bother sizing down since I bought the 6 to accommodate my hips and there will still be a gap of a few inches even with a 4. I'm still debating on whether or not to try and spend the time and money to get them tailored.

The Callahan short is my favorite summer short ever! They are well made, perfectly structured, and fit like a glove. I wear these in a 4. I wear other brands (Ann Taylor, Talbots, LOFT, JCrew) in the same size. This short fits better than other brands because they do not gape at the waist. The material is lightweight and a perfect weight for hot summers. The 5" inseam is comfortable. I love that they come in fun prints, as well as fun solids. Easy to dress up or down. They shrink a little when dried, and do not stretch out with wear. I have 5 pairs now, and still would be happy with a few more.

I'd also recommend: JCrew, Patagonia, Banana Republic

I love these shorts! They are soft and well-made. I had to return the first pair I bought, however, because they seem to run a little big. I am 5'3" and 112 pounds, and the 00 fits perfectly.

I have 7 pairs of these shorts, some patterned and some not. I think they're a great fit! Plus I love the fact that they are constructed using a lightweight cotton.

I'd also recommend: Vineyard Vines
