We're going to keep it short here: The official start of summer is tomorrow (YAY!), which means that shorts season is about to be in full swing. Your legs are now golden with the help of some self-tanner, so get ready to bare them proudly. With about a zillion options out there (that's an exact figure), we scoured the vast sea of shorts to bring you 25 pairs that fall well within budget.
