As the temperature rises and summer sets in, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with the hottest trend of the season: shorts. Have you heard of shorts? But what exactly are shorts and how can you style them to stay stylish and comfortable? Next, let’s find out how to style this season’s trend: shorts for summer.
What are Jorts?
Shorts are a combination of the words “jeans” and “shorts” and are simply shorts made from denim. These versatile garments, which gained popularity in the 90s, are back in style. Like Bermuda shorts, shorts are usually longer, reaching just above the knee or longer past the knee. They come in various styles, from frayed to neatly hemmed versions, and tend to be looser fitting.
How to wear this season’s trend: shorts for summer
- Casual and fresh style with a white t-shirt and ballerinas:
- A classic white T-shirt paired with shorts is a simple and timeless look. Tuck the T-shirt in for a chic touch and complete the outfit with mesh ballet flats. This combination is perfect for a casual day, offering comfort and style.
- Elegant and striped with a button-down shirt:
- Give your shorts a boost by pairing them with a striped button-down shirt. Tuck the shirt in for a polished look and roll up the sleeves for a laid-back vibe. I love rolling up my sleeves for a casual look. Add heels or flat sandals to keep things summery and chic.
- Layered look with vest:
- For a modern, layered look, wear a lightweight vest over a simple top with your shorts. This combination adds dimension to your outfit without making it too heavy for the summer heat. Finish with booties or sneakers for a versatile ensemble.
- Effortless style with a striped shirt:
- A striped shirt can add a nautical touch to your shorts ensemble. Choose a relaxed fit and tuck it halfway into your shorts for a casual yet stylish look. Pair it with white sneakers or slip-ons to stay cool and comfortable.
- A sophisticated touch for work:
- Yes, you can wear shorts to work. I posted a shorts to work style on Instagram here. Choose a longer, fitted pair of shorts and pair them with a smart button-down shirt. Add a lightweight blazer for a more professional touch. Complete the look with loafers or heeled sandals to maintain a polished, office-appropriate appearance.
Final Tips
- Fit and length: Make sure your shorts fit snugly around your waist and hips, without being too tight or too loose. Choose a length that flatters your body type and suits the occasion.
- Accessories:Use accessories like hats, sunglasses and jewelry to add a personal touch to your outfit. Use minimalist accessories to achieve a polished, summery look.
