Shorts have always had a very casual connotation when we think of them our minds usually jump to the gym, beach or just general weekend merriment – but what if you could style your shorts to wear them every day of the week? Well, if that’s your goal then you’ve come to just the right spot! Shorts can actually be incredibly versatile, it’s all a question of styling and finding the perfect pieces for your upcoming events. Read on for styling inspiration that will carry you through all occasions on your social calendar…
Office Hours
Yes, that’s right, you can absolutely wear shorts to your office during the warmer months! Grab yourself a pair of loosely tailored Bermuda shorts, this style is the perfect compromise as they’re breezy and lightweight whilst still looking incredibly professional – a win, win. Match with an oversized blazer in the same tone (camel or cream looks particularly phenomenal) thrown on over a tucked-in white tee shirt. Some gladiator sandals or brogues, a leather backpack and a low bun will tie this pretty and polished outfit together.
After-Work Drinks
After-work drinks are a tricky one to navigate when you’re coming straight from the office. Let’s work with the beautiful outfit describe above just to see how easy it can be to style up a chic work outfit for the bar. Slip out of those brogues and into a pair of sharp, pointed stilettos. Switch out your backpack for a small clutch or leather crossbody bag, swipe on a dark wine toned lipstick and ditch your blazer. Let your hair down and add as much chunky gold jewellery as you can, and you’re done! A knockout after-work drinks look in a matter of minutes.
Date Night
For date night you want to feel flirty and fashionable, but still just like yourself. So, start with a pair of silky, loose fit shorts in shimmering nude pink. Pair with a slightly oversized, menswear style button up in white linen. Add some elegant kitten-heeled mules in a neutral tan or cream and pull your hair into a romantic braid or a high ponytail. Some gold shimmer eyeshadow and a nude gloss will finish off this relaxed yet magnetic look perfectly.
Out on the Town
A fun night out is the ideal occasion for whipping out some creative, intricately crafted shorts that you might not veer towards during the daytime. Look for laser cut suede, sequin-studded styles or even an incredibly cool leather pair of shorts! Pair with a simple silk cami, tucked in, your favourite ankle boots and a leather jacket for an awesome evening look that’s sure to turn a few heads. Plenty of inky eyeliner and some loose mermaid waves along with burgundy toned nail polish and you’re ready to hit the town.
Cocktail Party
A co-ord, boho style blouse and shorts are going to stun at any cocktail party! Look for an embellished, lacey pairing in a misty mint, muted blue or soft pink shade. Pair with platform espadrilles, plenty of resin bangles, hoop earrings and a half-up-half-down do to look majorly fashionable and unique.
Weekend Chic
A fresh way to wear shorts on the weekend is to experiment with double denim! Match an A-line pair of light wash denim shorts with an oversized, bomber style denim jacket for an undeniably cool get up. Complete the outfit with a black tee, chunky white sneakers, an over-the-shoulder black bag and a black belt with gold hardware.
