Excuse the prolonged absence! We will finally be settling into our home in Florida next week. For now we are visiting with family and friends in Louisiana and collecting the rest of our boxes. Boy do we have some boxes! I honestly thought this move would be easy, but I seemed to have forgotten how much stuff we have. Oh well, first world problems.
Since arriving down south, I have been pulling all my shorts out. I thought it would be fun to chat a bit about short trends for summer. It may come as a surprise, but shorts went on quite a hiatus from the runways for several seasons. The good news is that they are back and better than ever. This summer is the perfect time to style a few short trends and stay cool while wearing them.
A few of the most popular short styles include Bermuda, biker (English Factory has colorful hues), utilitarian(check out Free People for a couple of great options), and the all-time favorite, denim. When the temperatures are hottest, shorts are the practical choice for any outfit. In recent seasons even shorts have replaced pants in the pantsuit. From the office to dinner to summer vacations this article of clothing will get plenty of use.
Bermuda shorts can seem a bit dowdy and tricky to style. To create a chic look stay away from loose fitting shorts. For tops to pair with Bermuda shorts, make sure it is fitted. A feminine lace blouse is a good choice in balancing out the masculine vibes of the shorts. A knotted t-shirt is another casual option for dressing them down or a classic buttoned up is always a good idea.
The utilitarian trend is seen from bags to dresses and to shorts. This trend is marked by drawstring waists, cargo style pockets, exposed zippers, and earthy hues. The utilitarian short is often one that can be dressed down with an over-sized t-shirt or dressed up with a flowing top.
The holy grail of shorts has to be the denim short. It would be hard to find any closet that does not boast a pair or several pairs. From crisp white blouses to blazers, to basic t-shirts the denim short can be styled in countless ways. The beauty of this season is that with the longer shorts in vogue, there is a denim pair for everyone. Make sure to check this page for fabulous denim options.
