As a must-have warm-weather staple, shorts are everywhere, and they come in different patterns, styles and designs. However, some ladies may still feel a bit confused about the best way to pair their shorts with the rest of their outfit, and what type of shorts to choose in the first place. Well, there’s a lot more to shorts than those simple ones for the beach or for workout.
Dress it up
If you have dressier shorts that you’re not sure how to match, simply go for a simpler crop top or a blouse that you can tuck in. If you want to dress things up more, add a fancy belt and heels to the game. Of course, don’t forget to top it all off with a nice bag.
Business-like shorts
Shorts can look as professional as trousers if you find the right cut and design. These kinds of shorts are usually baggier and can create an illusion of a skirt. They pair really well with blazers, blouses, shirts and plain tees, as well as flats and ankle booties.
One color all over
Jumpsuits are really popular, but they are truly a pain to wear when it comes to going to the toilet. This is why going for a top and shorts in the same color is a win-win combo! Not only does this look classy, but it’s also really comfortable and flattering.
Classic and casual
A pair of jean shorts will never go out of style. You can even cut off an old pair of jeans to make your own shorts that flatter your body shape perfectly. These shorts can be paired with casual tees and shirts or dressed up with tunics and belts in many different styles – from sporty to boho-inspired ones. What’s more, it makes both running errands and taking a nice walk truly comfortable.
Striking prints
If you want to make a statement with your clothing choice and show off your personality and style, definitely go with unique, printed shorts. Striking prints and patterns, as well as vibrant colors are really popular this season, and you can find silk shorts in various designs that match the striking statement you wish to make.
Shorts and boots
This particular pairing doesn’t always work, but if you want to make it a part of your style, then definitely go with high-waisted shorts and boots with a chunkier heel. This is also a great way to create the boho vibe, which works exceptionally well when it comes to this outfit match.
Cocktail attire
If you choose the right material, your shorts can become a perfect piece for cocktail parties and other dressier occasions. For example, satin and metallic shades, and even black leather are perfect to wear to a party. Together with a dressy top, heels and gorgeous accessories, you can look absolutely dazzling and trendy.
Bermuda shorts
For those of you who like a bit more coverage or want to look more sporty or professional, you can try Bermuda shorts. When it comes to this type of design, you definitely need to try out more cuts to find the one that suits you the best, but once you do, it’s well worth it, as Bermuda shorts combine easily.
Mixing patterns
Mixing the patterns of your top and your shorts is a popular trend for girls who enjoy wearing Bermuda shorts, as the patterns on these are usually geometrical and relatively simpler, which provides you with a great fashion opportunity to wear statement, bold and vibrant patterns for your tops. Always strive to match obviously different patterns.
Oversized chic
Oversized and slouchy outfits are very trendy among fashion enthusiasts, which is precisely why there are so many available these days in different styles and materials. You can combine this type of shorts with a fitted top for a specific look and a dramatic effect, or go with the all-over oversized look for a runway-like feel.
Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from enjoying your own creative self. If you love coming up with fashion combos, feel free to play with different shorts pairings this sunny season.
