Summer Shorts

With the intense heat waves sweeping all over Europe and the States, I read somewhere that people were actually encouraged to wear shorts to work. To make sure that everyone stays cool stylishly, I've picked out some of the best shorts around! These two, from See by Chloe, are my favourite short looks. The striped shorts on the left paired with that pretty white blouse is simple and ladylike- perfect for work. The structured beige shorts matched with the more casual top is just so cool. I love these two looks!
Other stripey shorts include these ones from Charlotte Ronson and Cacharel respectively. I especially love the Cacharel one because I have something very similar from Vanessa Bruno and its been fabulous.
For more officey and simpler choices, there are these two from Paul and Joe and Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent. The length and the more structured cut makes it easy to pair with the rest of your wardrobe. And this classic style may even last you for the seasons to come!
For that extra feminine touch, I am loving these white ribbon belts on these Armani Exchange and Ya-Ya shorts. The material of the A/X shorts looks very nice and breezy. And the satiny shiny material of the belt on the Ya-Ya shorts even make it look a little glam!
For something a little special and more cool, I like these ruched up shorts with all the strings and zippers. Pair it up with a punk tank and heels. annd you're ready for a concert. Or put on a blazer to give it a more ladylike balance. Either way, it looks cool. These two are from Top Shop and Armani Exchange.

Stay stylishly cool everyone!

  3. I know many short girls think they can't pull off any other style of shorts apart from short-shorts, but I think it's all about the proportions of the clothes you wear. Knee-length loose shorts paired with 4" wedges with straps that cross over the ankles worn with a form-fitting top would look as good on someone who's 5'2" as it would on a girl who's 5'8".
    Isn't it all about pulling it off?

  5. Great post! I love the See by Chloe looks... I've been hesitant to try shorts with chunky heels but it looks great with bermuda length shorts. I've amassed maybe 5 pairs of short trouser shorts already... I'm really addicted to them. It's close to 100 degrees in LA! :P

  7. i dont have this problem. maybe you bookmarked the wrong page instead of http://iamfashion.blogspot.com??

    i love bermuda shorts! i just have these stubby tree-trunk legs (or at least thats what i believe!!!). but for those short girls with thin legs.. you should still wear them! just dont wear any strappy sandals with the shorts because the straps are going to make you/your legs look shorter/stubbier than you/your legs really are. pair your short with a pair of slingbacks/pumps. they would look oh so elegant :):)

    i am just so glad its winter here in sydney now so i dont have to struggle with "to wear or not to wear" - yet. mwahaha!
