When I grew up in sunny LA, shorts were a key part of my wardrobe. Denim shorts, linen shorts, drawstring track pants, my beloved soffes – I would bet that shorts make up about 50% of my chest of drawers. But somewhere between getting older (where I spend most of my time in more formal surroundings) and moving to the East Coast (where there are significantly fewer days with warm weather), my number of shorts has been reduced to a few frayed jeans cutoffs. While useful for beach trips, my 10 year old denim shorts feel too informal to make a proper outfit out of them.
Enter my obsession to save every stylish shorts ensemble I encounter on Instagram. In the past few months, fashion audiences have become more and more committed to silhouette. With the right styling and the right cut, shorts prove to be a desirable option. It helps brands bring out chic iterations like leather culottes, cool linen bermuda shorts, knee-length jeans cutoffs, and designer bike shorts. In front of us, these ladies show us six cool ways to style their shorts so that we can integrate the style back into our wardrobes sometime this season.
If you had told me three years ago that Bermuda was going to be one of the coolest trends, I would not have believed you. But with such chic pants-like versions, I'm glad I turned out to be wrong. Combine your knee-length pant shorts with a tailored blazer and a high pair of boots that hit the hem of the shorts in Channel Alyssa Coscarelli's half boardroom, half rider star ensemble.
I am always on board for an almost monochrome outfit. By almost I mean one who sticks to the same color without being a matchy match. A typical example is Anna Sarlvit's cream and light yellow make-up. I will try forever to make a pair of cargo shorts, a long leather coat and boots with a stud sole look half as good.
If you're a Jean Cutoffs fan, denim shorts are an easy way to improve them without affecting your personal style. Ada Oguntodu proves that even jeans shorts with a frayed hem can be combined with a few unexpected details such as a doodle print sweater and bright white pumps.
Emili Sindlev's outfit proves that there is still so much creativity in fashion that still needs to be explored. Turn your high school track look, including a simple white t-shirt, into a real street style outfit with a big-cut blazer and a bold set of mules.
If you get away with one thing after reading this article, skip the fact that a blazer is the only trick you need to put on your shorts. The balance of the wide-leg shorts and the tailored blazer creates a cool A-line silhouette. Since a pair of linen shorts can look quite causal, use the help of some boots in the middle of the calf to give the outfit a better fit.
If you're looking for shorts that almost every influencer is adding to their spring and summer wardrobes this year, you've found it. These Frankie Shop faux leather culottes have become ubiquitous for a reason. They're easy to style – they go well with almost any top or sweater – and the leather-look material makes them look more formal than any other type of shorts. Wear the shorts with heels, strappy sandals (like Grece here) or even sneakers.
