If there is one essential piece as soon as the temperatures rise, it’s the shorts which, easy to wear and match, are the perfect ally for long, hot summer days. Many models exist and it is sometimes difficult to choose the ideal shorts according to your style.
Thanks to Albeli Fashions for this complete guide, you will certainly make the best choice to wear this summer must-have to perfection.
The must-have shorts for everyday wear? The denim shorts
A classic among classics, denim shorts are a must-have for the summer season. With their casual style and obvious comfort, they are at the top of the ranking of the most popular shorts for the arrival of summer.
- We choose it in a vintage style, embellished with slightly frayed raw edges
- On the color side, we focus on denim classics, from faded blue to the darkest colors. To take no risk, we opt for a raw indigo version
- What to wear it with? Denim shorts have the advantage of being a versatile piece. During the day, wear it with a tank top, a printed T-shirt or a classic white cotton shirt, choosing a slightly oversized size. To twist your look in the evening, all you have to do is put on an elegant black blazer
- For shoes, let your desires do the talking. Sandals, clogs, sneakers, boots… Denim shorts are easy to pair with many pairs of shoes.
Comfortable and fashionable shorts? The culottes
For several seasons, a piece from our childhood has made a remarkable comeback on the catwalks around the world: the culottes. A comfortable piece par excellence, it is now available in multiple versions, from the most comfortable to the most elegant. This hybrid piece, between skirt and shorts, is easy to wear every day and allows for small stylistic eccentricities, ideal for the summer wardrobe season.
- How to choose the right culottes? We bet on a version designed in light materials such as linen, thick and rigid materials being more suitable for winter.
- As far as colors are concerned, let your desires speak for themselves. We dare to use tangy colors, which will have the most beautiful effect on delicately tanned skin.
- What to combine these hybrid shorts with? The culottes go well with many pieces: from the simple white T-shirt to the bohemian-style blouse. Here again, it is important to let your creativity speak.
- For accessories, a pair of open sandals will always be a very good choice when the weather returns. Finish the composition with a basket, and done.
The trendy summer shorts? Bermuda shorts
Another piece has also made a comeback on the catwalks of summer fashion trendsthe seventies seem difficult to match, it is act. Bermuda shorts, initially intended for men, have regained their acclaim to reach the top of the season’s trendy pieces. Longer and wider than shorts, they are both comfortable and adopt a boyish spirit perfectly in tune with the times. Like athleisure -style fashion pieces , Bermuda shorts are a casual, hybrid piece that’s easy to wear every day.
- How to choose the right bermuda shorts? We prefer those that stop above the knees so as not to cut the silhouette and weigh down the legs.
- For a masculine/feminine style, we play on the size with slightly oversized pieces.
- If you don’t feel comfortable with loose clothing, wear a piece in a cycling spirit, in jeans for example. Its length distinguishes it from shorts and will bring you comfort and ease.
- In order not to denote the casual spirit of Bermuda shorts, they are mainly worn with a pair of white sneakers or summer sandals.
- For the top of the outfit, we put on a trendy and unisex combination with a fitted T-shirt under a light shirt, worn open.
- We add a bob or a cap as a final touch.
The daring shorts? 70’s-style printed shorts
The bohemian trend of the 70’s is making a comeback on the current fashion scene. From Jane Birkin to Brigitte Bardot, the bohemian chic wardrobe is essentially based on printed clothes, with a slightly regressive spirit. And if the pieces and in particular the shorts imbued with the retro and hippie spirit of the seventies seem difficult to match, it is actually easy to integrate them into our current looks. You should try pairing high-waisted shorts with a tucked-in silk blouse and strappy sandals for the best summer chic look.
- How to spot retro 70’s shorts? There are unmistakable clues. If the shorts have a psychedelic print, details like fringes, or crochet finishes, you’re definitely looking at a 70s-inspired piece.
- What can we associate it with? Wear a large blouse with puffy sleeves to which you can add a large oversized cardigan, or a sleeveless cardigan.
- For shoes, we stay in the 70’s spirit with a pair of western style clogs or boots.
- As for accessories, a leather bag will be ideal, preferably small. Like Brigitte Bardot, we choose a basket in natural material, no matter the size. Finish the outfit with jewelry that invites you to travel.
Now that shorts hold no secrets for you, complete your summer suitcase with a T-shirt dress or a daring short, so you never have to wonder what you’re going again.
