We travel so much that we've got packing a suitcase down to a science. We need clothes that are lightweight, easy to fold up, and will take us from day to night, because we've got places to go and a very limited amount of suitcase space — especially if we're going carry-on. In the Summer, we can't really be bothered with long pants; all we want to be wearing are shorts. These 20 pairs will have you itching to go on a trip, plus they're made for all those travel Instagram photos we know you'll be taking.

From chic high-waisted tie shorts to loose striped styles and just a few denim cutoffs, there's nothing not to like about these pairs. Whether you're exploring a new city or planning to spend all your time on a lounge chair (no judgment, us too), you'll stun in a pair of cute shorts. They're so easy to pack, you might just grab two!
