Shorts are where it’s at as the sun keeps you all drenched in sweat. To make your outfit weather appropriate while staying true to your inner diva-fashionista, we invite you to invest in chic statement shorts.
While tops, skirts and pants have all been made as the focal pieces of our collective wardrobes, the spotlight, for this piece, is shined on shorts. We’ve all gotten used to the pairing of timeless denim, cotton or chiffon shorts with statement tops.
This season’s take on trendy shorts stretches the room for experimentation. Although, lookbookers have and are still rocking the distressed denim cutoffs like it’s the only trend to wear, Bermuda shorts made rounds as spring’s celebrated trend to go nuts about (as seen at NYFW).
Bermudas aside, the bolder in prints your shorts are, the easier it is for you to make them the scene-stealer of your outfit.
Express your style by wearing quirky prints in your favorite cartoon character, like Bart Simpson. Team with a plain white blouse to bring in the needed contrast. Go the comfy route and finish with a chunky footwear.
Not a cartoon fan? Take your festival season outfit with shorts personalized with whimsical DIY patchwork. Slip into holographic shoes and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
No matter what style of statement shorts you pick to spruce up your day to evening wardrobe this season, the versatility of bold shorts promises that you can wear them both casually and semi-formally.
The trick simply lies in playing up the casualness if you’re dressing up for a quick errand-running or you can take it up a notch via structured pieces by including a blazer and no-nonsense footwear for a semi-formal brunch with your colleagues. Sprinkle jewelry to your taste.
