The majority of us change into shorts when we get home and take them off just before we leave again in the summer because they are an essential component of the traditional summer uniform.
However, they frequently find their way into our casual rotation, where they are paired almost exclusively with T-shirts. That does not necessarily have to be the situation. These go-to pieces for warm weather can be styled to look appropriate almost anywhere, which opens up a whole new world of possibilities for summertime outfit combinations. In order to demonstrate how adaptable this must-have item for the summer can be, we have designed four different looks.
Workout
When it comes to working out, comfort is absolutely essential; however, you shouldn’t neglect appearances either. Both of these needs are satisfied by bike shorts. They are ready for anything you throw at them, and they make it simple to inject some color into your workout wardrobe. We would complete the look with a sports bra featuring an animal print, a jacket in a pretty pink color, and a sneaker that ties the whole thing together.
Downtime
Knit shorts are the best option for running errands on the weekend or attending low-key get-togethers. Just keep in mind the cardinal rule: they should not look like your favorite pajamas even though they should feel like your favorite pajamas. The abundance of adorable options that are available this year makes it simple to walk on the chic side of that line. This look is a little more sporty than preppy thanks to the muscle tee and baseball cap, but the clean stripes and white sneakers play up the preppy trend that is popular this summer.
Work
The fact that shorts are somewhat unusual attire for the workplace is one of the reasons we adore them. This pair of pleated pants is the ideal alternative to skirts for the warm weather season because of its long, full legs that swing when the wearer walks. Maintain the polished appearance by wearing a blazer with a softly structured silhouette, minimal accessories, and sleek flats.
Day-to-night
From the dressed-up top to the faded cutoffs with frayed edges, this outfit strikes the perfect balance between tough and chic. The versatility of the denim is largely dependent on the cut. A high waist and long, loose legs ensure a flattering fit that will take you from an afternoon out in the city to a dinner date with just a quick change of shoes and other accessories.
