How to Wear Spring Shorts? With a Blouse and Blazer.
When you break out your shorts for Spring, you have a sartorial choice. You can go casual with a sweater and tee - or you can dress up your spring shorts for a surprisingly sophisticated look. We’re huge fans of keeping your look polished, even when you’re wearing shorts - and here’s how. Simply pair your spring shorts with basics that fall on the more formal side of the spectrum - such as a blazer and blouse pairing. Look how the tailored blazer and the crisp blouse add a dash of panache to your casual shorts.
The key to getting this look right? Choose a blazer that’s similar in structure to your shorts. Notice that the linen shorts fit a bit loose - as does the linen herringbone blazer. And accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Heels befit the sophisticated blazer-shorts pairing. The cherry on top? A braided belt in a gorgeous shade of brown, tied on the waist.
