Tips & Trends | What to Wear With Denim Shorts

Summer is almost here and that means a seasonal staple is back: denim shorts (See Related: Top 5 Must Have Summer Clothing Pieces). A versatile classic, they can be dressed up or down, and a part of almost every summer outfit. Whether in good old fashioned blue, black, white, or a breadth of other colours, we all have at least one pair in our wardrobes. Here are 4 different ways to wear them this summer!

Suit Up

Bodysuits are great because they provide a streamlined silhouette without having to worry about bunched up fabric in places it shouldn’t be. When paired with denim shorts, they help give off a cool and sexy vibe. Wear this look with cool sunglasses, slides, and a mini backpack for the ultimate cool girl look.

Off to the Races

A track or bomber jacket, relaxed tee, and athletic sneakers are one of the comfiest yet still stylish combos you can wear. A higher waisted boyfriend short will make the looks Summer ’17 approved.

Button Down

Denim shorts can be dressed up a bit with the help of a buttoned blouse, in either a crisp white or subtle print, structured bag, and high heeled sandals. These Giuseppe Zanotti sandals from Designer Swap would be the perfect fit for this look, so be sure to check them out while you can.

The 90’s Called

Vintage tees are still having their moment, so of course, they’ll be a favourite to pair with denim shorts. While the “in” look of these shirts are forever evolving, wear whichever incarnation you prefer with sunglasses, sneakers or combat boots, and (optional) flannel for a throwback look.
