STYLE GURU STYLE: Patterned Shorts

August 3rd, 2015 at 2:00am

Summer is the time to bare your legs and break out your cutest shorts. Can’t find the right pair for you? Get inspired by Carolina Herrera’s resort 2015 collection. She uses floral patterns to give her shorts a fun, feminine feel. Her pieces can be easily dressed up or down, providing either a sophisticated or laid back vibe depending on what you’re in the mood for and where you’re headed.

I chose to incorporate this staple by rocking flowy, patterned, black and white shorts. I paired them with a simple loose black tank top and white low-top Converse. I topped the outfit off with low-key accessories: a dainty gold necklace, some classic Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses for those sunny summer days and a bold turquoise ring to add a little color to the black and white ensemble. I then added an oversized gray tote to complement the everyday vibe of the outfit and maintain the muted color scheme. I kept my hair down in messy waves to go with the chill style of the shorts. Waves are a great and easy look for when its hot outside—why spend time straightening or curling your hair when the humidity is going to mess it up anyways? If you want to wear this outfit out at night, just exchange the sneakers for wedges, trade the tote for a sleek cross-body bag and you’re ready to go.
