It's that time again, summer! Which, of course, is just wonderful. The flowers are out, people are out, but so is the sun — and it’s hot — which can make getting dressed and looking at least somewhat put-together a difficult task to achieve when we’re also trying to stay cool.
Often enough, our options are limited, leaving us with very little outside the classic pair of shorts to work with. But aside from shorts being the perfect thing to stay cool in the middle of a hot summer, there are actually countless wonderful ways to style them that will leave us looking lovely while still comfortable.
Below, find 5 different ways to wear your shorts this summer.
01 | Dress them up.
For a more dressy, formal look that will be perfect for a romantic night out to a nice restaurant in the city, or a fancy get together, try a pair of high-waisted, slack-material shorts. Pair them with a flowy silk or chaise blouse and throw on a pair of heels, and you’ll have a classy, cool outfit you can wear to all of the summer soirees that come your way.
02 | Go for an artsy look.
For a more artsy, free-spirited, and bohemian look, try an unbelievably cute and comfortable linen shorts that are perfect for road trip adventures, strolling on the beach, or laying in the park writing in your journal. Pair them with a comfy tank-top and a pair of sandals, and you're ready to jump into your next adventure.
03 | Make them casually stylish.
For a look that's low-maintenance but stylish, you simply can't beat the classics. A pair of distressed denim shorts are perfect for BBQs, walking through the city, or heading to the lake. Pair them with your favorite vintage tee, crop top, or plaid flannel with some white sneakers or converse and you're ready to chill out.
04 | Get an edgy look.
If you're looking for something that has a bit more edge but will keep you cool while heading to a concert or rooftop lounge, try a pair of faux leather, high-waisted shorts that will give you that sleek look to set you apart from the crowd. Pair them with a lacy red or white top and a pair of boot heels and black denim jacket and you'll be ready to take on the town.
05 | Go for an athletic look.
If you are looking for something that will be both cute and comfortable as you go on a hike, go for a run, or explore the great outdoors, try a pair of high-waisted, sweat-wicking, athletic shorts. They’ll keep you looking feminine and chic without having to sacrifice comfort. Pair them with an athletic tank (and your swimsuit underneath in case you come across a waterfall) and your favorite sneakers and you'll be ready to explore the big beautiful world in comfort and style.
