ALL IN THE DETAILS: Don’t Let Your Style Fall Short

If any of you are taking summer courses like me, you may be facing the same struggle to find both the motivation and the necessary items in your closet to dress your best every day. With this endless summer heat, the temptation to go to class in plain shorts and a T-shirt is ridiculously strong. Even dresses don’t seem to provide an answer. After all, who wants to wear dresses every day?

However, this Fashionista seems to have it all figured out. With her scalloped shorts, she manages to keep cool and stylish at the same time. While plain denim shorts will always be a classic, this new wave of patterned shorts offers a certain sense of elegance and fun to any outfit. Rather than being something to throw on when there isn’t anything to wear in your closet, these shorts actually act as an accessory and focal point of any ensemble.

Even if the scalloped design isn’t your first choice, don’t panic—there are infinite designs of patterned shorts, ranging from tribal to tie-dye to lace. No matter what your preference may be, you are sure to find a good pair of these shorts to spice up your summer look.

This Fashionista completes her look with a pair of gray booties, a simple black shirt and white kimono, keeping her ensemble classic and neutral. She adds a tasteful pop of color with a cute turquoise bracelet, leaving her accessories to a minimum.

How To: Pick shorts that reflect your personality, building the rest of your outfit around them. Your shorts should be the center of attention, so make sure that your creativity shines through!
