How To Wear Shorts This Season

I’m currently sweltering in my bedroom as I finish this piece and I have to say, the reintroduction to shorts is very welcome right now! There are some fresh new ways to wear this wardrobe staple and I’m going to cut right to the chase (because sweltering)…

• Above-the-knee Bermudas are undoubtedly what all the cool girls will be wearing this summer, but that shape is tricky to wear un-ironically, so you can dip your toe into the trend by wearing slightly looser-fit, tailored styles.

• I’d avoid the traditional “Daisy Duke” style denim cut-offs and instead go for a slightly longer, cleaner look. These guys look great with a simple tucked-in tee.

• Boxer-style shorts are having a major moment and why not relish in the comfort I say. Elastic waists are never a bad thing.

• You’ll need all your basics to wear back with shorts this season — check them out here if you haven’t already — and I’d definitely invest in a medley of tees, tanks and oversized shirts to make styling a breeze.

• Matching sets are still a big yes, and this time around vests and shorts are the combo du jour. Obviously don’t wear anything under the vest, that is a whole other look and one which I don’t encourage.

• All shoes are good shoes — sandals, sneakers, even Mary Janes and loafers, but I do think you need to tread verrrrrrry carefully if you’re contemplating any sort of heels + shorts situation.

  Alright, alright, alright — let’s go!
