The clothing pieces we wear the most are often the simplest . We're looking for go-to staples in each category, and in the summer , we like to focus on shorts .

We're fans of basic styles that have a ton of versatility, and these shorts from Target's new Future Collective line have everything that we're looking for. Plus, they can totally pass for a more expensive designer style that we've seen at Saks.

These shorts have a classic aesthetic that we can picture ourselves wearing on repeat. They have a flowier fit and a high-waist cut, plus they come with a matching wide belt that can help cinch in your waist. They also include pockets, which always add brownie points when we shop for bottoms.

Shoppers have flocked to these shorts because of how easy they are to style. The "flattering and classy" appearance, plus their "fit and quality" make it simple to dress them "up or down." One reviewer described the look as "elevated casual" which is exactly how we feel.

Right now you can snag these shorts in three different colors, though we're partial to the black pair. They're the most versatile by far, and they also have the most high-end appeal. Shoppers agree that they look "expensive," which we found to be true when we compared them to a designer style from Saks .

These two shorts are virtually identical on all fronts, besides the price. Our pair from Target are almost an eighth of the price of the designer version, which is truly remarkable. According to reviewers, these affordable shorts are "perfect" and "amazing" in every way, and if that didn't already sell us on them, their price definitely has.
