Nothing says summer like the smell of sunscreen, hot asphalt, and smoke from the barbeque. Maybe you’re not a fan of the first two scents, but the third? It’s the sign of good food, good company, and good times. For all the BBQs you’re sure to attend this summer—from now on through the Fourth of July to Labor Day—we have plenty of suggestions. Go for a relaxed look with loose-fitting cuffed jeans and a lightweight tee, wear an adorable floral dress for a pop of color underneath a denim vest, or pair your on-trend pastel denim shorts with equally sweet hues. Just don’t spill the ketchup.

The fetching goalkeeper of the U.S. Women’s National Team, Hope Solo, sported not one, but two pairs of M2F mini shorts whilst off the field. She looked gorgeous in the Strawberry and Tigerlily colored bottoms (it’s a good thing because she is set to pose naked in the famed “Body Issue” of ESPN The Magazine). And we’re so excited to watch her compete on Dancing with the Stars… But right now, it’s exciting just to see her rocking one of our favorite denim brands on the field! Work it, girl!
Which is your favorite color?
