Tips on how to wear lace trim shorts for the summer.
While Rihanna set the tone for risque chic fashion clad in men’s boxer shorts, a bra top (or a very bra-like bandeau) and a denim jacket (to tone it down slightly) for a party, we mere mortals can take the lingerie trend into our summer wardrobe in little doses via lace trim shorts.
Lace trim shorts can be worn super casually or as a lace accent for a dressy occasion. If you’re not sure how to exactly blend the shorts into your wardrobe, cast your attention to the roundup of fashionable lookbookers below for some vital fashion tips:
To reduce the lingerie-esque vibe of a lace trim shorts, pair with a relaxed collared shirt in dark blue, minimal jewelry and a spacious bag in brown. Complete the look with a pair of metallic strap flat sandals for a summery off-duty finish.

“When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.” — Rihanna
