How to wear shorts this summer?

How to wear shorts this summer?

Summer temperatures are finally here, and it's time to bring out the light pieces in our wardrobe. Gone are the overshirts and cardigans, gone are the tee-shirt dresses and the long dresses with a bohemian spirit: it's time to have fun with the summer trends. If there's one piece that's a must-have as soon as the temperature rises, it's the shorts, which are easy to wear and match and are the perfect ally for long, hot summer days. There are many styles to choose from and it can be hard to choose the perfect pair of shorts to suit your style. With this comprehensive guide, you're sure to make the best choice for the perfect summer must-have.

The must-have shorts to wear every day? 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 the most popular shorts for the summer season.

  • We choose it in a vintage style, with raw edges that are a little frayed
  • On the color side, we bet on the classic denim, from faded blue to the darkest colors. To take no chances, we opt for a raw indigo version
  • What to wear them with? Denim shorts have the advantage of being a versatile piece. During the day, wear them with a tank top, a printed tee or a classic white cotton shirt, choosing a slightly oversized waist. For an evening look, simply slip on a smart black blazer.
  • When it comes to shoes, let your desires speak for themselves. Sandals, clogs, sneakers, boots... Denim shorts are easy to combine with many pairs of shoes.

How to wear black shorts this summer?

Although black is best avoided in summer, black shorts are a great way to combine style and comfort on hot days. For a casual yet sophisticated look, opt for well-fitting black shorts that will enhance your figure. Pair them with a basic white tee for a timeless, minimalist look, or dare a patterned shirt to add a touch of personality. For a more elegant outfit, combine your black shorts with a lightweight blouse and heeled sandals to add a feminine, refined edge. Accessorize with minimalist jewelry and a pair of trendy sunglasses to complete your summer outfit. Black shorts are an excellent base for highlighting colorful tops and vibrant accessories, adding a touch of sparkle and contrast to your summer outfit.

What color shorts to choose this summer? Green

This summer, we're opting for green shorts, synonymous with freshness and prosperity. To wear them to perfection, there are a few rules to follow:

  • To get started, choose green shorts in a hue that complements your skin tone and personal style. You can opt for a soft pastel green for a delicate, feminine look, or choose a dark green for a bolder, more sophisticated touch.
  • Pair your green shorts with simple, neutral pieces like a white tee or denim blouse for a casual, summery look. You can also play with patterns and textures by combining your green shorts with striped, polka-dot or floral tops for a more dynamic style.
  • Don't forget to accessorize with light, summery pieces like sandals, sunglasses and a straw hat to complete your outfit with a touch of casual glamour.

The trendy shorts of the summer? Bermuda shorts

Another piece also made a comeback on the Fashion Weeks catwalks. Bermuda shorts, originally intended for men, have regained their credentials and are now top of the season's trendy pieces. Longer and wider than shorts, they are both comfortable and have a boyish spirit that is perfectly in tune with the times. Just like the athleisure fashion pieces, Bermuda shorts are a casual, hybrid piece that is easy to wear on a daily basis.

  • 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're not comfortable with baggy clothes, wear a cycling-style piece, such as jeans. Its length distinguishes it from shorts and will give you comfort and ease.
  • In order not to clash with the casual spirit of Bermuda shorts, they are best worn with a pair of white sneakers or summer sandals.
  • For the top of the outfit, we opt for a trendy, unisex combination of a fitted tee under a light, open shirt.
  • A bob or cap is added as a finishing touch.

Bold shorts? The 70's printed shorts

Orange bandana print shorts
Blue plaid 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 especially the shorts printed with the retro and hippie spirit of the seventies seem difficult to match, it is actually easy to integrate them into our current looks.

  • How to spot a pair of retro 70's shorts? There are some definite clues. If the shorts have a psychedelic print, details such as fringes, or crochet trim, you are definitely looking at a 70s inspired piece.
  • What to wear with it? Wear a large blouse with puffed 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 clogs or western boots.
  • As for accessories, a leather bag is ideal, preferably a small one. Like Brigitte Bardot, choose a basket made of natural material, regardless of the size. Finish the outfit with jewellery that invites you to Travel.

Comfortable and fashionable shorts ? The Culotte Skirt

For several seasons now, a piece from our childhood has made a remarkable comeback on the catwalks all over 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 a skirt and shorts, is easy to wear on a daily basis and allows for small stylistic eccentricities, ideal for the summer season.

  • How to choose a culottes? Choose a version made of light materials such as linen, thick and rigid materials being more suitable for winter.
  • As far as colors is concerned, let your desires speak for themselves. We dare the acidulous colors , which will be of the most beautiful effect on a delicately tanned skin.
  • What to pair these hybrid shorts with? The culotte skirt can be combined with many pieces: from a simple white tee-shirt to a bohemian blouse. Here again, it is important to let your creativity speak for itself.
  • For accessories, a pair of open sandals will always be a good choice when the weather returns. Finish the look with a basket and you're done.
  • Now that shorts are no longer a secret to you, complete your summer suitcase with a tee-shirt dress(find out how to wear it with style here) or a swimming costume, so you'll never wonder what you're going to wear again.

    Create the perfect look with shorts

    Creating an elegant look with shorts is perfectly possible! It's perfectly acceptable to wear shorts to a party or even a wedding. First of all, choose a cut that flatters your figure, neither too loose nor too tight. The choice of fabric is just as important: choose quality shorts in a refined fabric such as linen. Pair your shorts with a chic top, such as a well-fitted shirt or silk top. We also advise you to choose shorts in plain color , to remain sober and elegant. To complete your look, don't forget the details: a classic watch, chic sunglasses and an elegant bag can make all the difference.

    Shorts trends for men

    Summer trends in men's shorts are moving towards a balance between style and comfort. Numerous styles, materials and patterns are essential to create the perfect summer look:

    • Cargo shorts are making a comeback, offering both utilitarian aesthetics and practicality with their multiple pockets.
    • Denim shorts also remain popular, with cut variations ranging from classic to slim. They're the ideal choice if you want to be sure you're not making a mistake.
    • At the same time, linen shorts are gaining in popularity, offering a lightweight, breathable option for hot days. To ensure an elegant look, opt for a total linen look by pairing your shorts with a shirt in the same fabric.
    • Patterns and bright colors are in the spotlight this summer, with floral prints, bold stripes and vivid hues adding a touch of vivacity to men's wardrobes.
