Fashion

To be stylish this summer, you need to choose the right model of shorts. These include:

Shorts-Bermudas

The undisputed favorite of the year. They do not restrain movement, have an acceptable length even for the office and emphasize the waist with a high fit.

Tip: plus-size girls should look out for models with flaps. They correct wide hips and harmonize the proportions of the figure.

To create business looks, choose bermudas made of lightweight suit fabric with arrows. What to wear with? With a classic shirt or vest. In informal urban images, the same shorts are well combined with T-shirts and crop tops.

Ultramini

A bold but capricious style. It is suitable only for owners of slender legs. To enhance the effect, girls with model parameters can complement it with high-heeled shoes. It is important to observe the rule of balance: an open “bottom” requires a closed “top”.

Carga

Taking over from the trendiest pants of summer-2023, cargo shorts win the hearts of fashionistas with their comfort and practicality. However, the baggy silhouette and roomy pockets can add extra bulk to the hips. To balance the massive “bottom”, you can match them with a silhouetted sweater or top.

Cycling shorts

This year’s bicycle shorts are no different. No longer an attribute of athletic training, these shorts can be easily integrated into comfortable urban looks. The best companions are long shirts and jackets. From footwear they look good with sneakers, and in the spirit of street style fashion – even with stiletto sandals.

White

Summer is the time for clothes in light shades, especially white. Do not forget that such shorts look better on slender legs. Make the image interesting will help models with decorative buttons. Remember the important rule: all accessories should match the color of the buttons. Beige tones can be an alternative to this tone. Champagne color will look great on tanned girls.

Material

Polly Ryzhova: Choose natural, breathable fabrics on hot days. The rating of the most practical and environmentally friendly is headed by linen, which has been a favorite in hot countries since ancient times. Do not forget about cotton, it is already a classic of summer closet. For cooler weather or an obligatory dress code (whether it is office, sporty or festive), look out for shorts made of suit and stretch fabric, leather, blended materials with metallized texture (metallic effect is back in fashion).

Denim

Denim shorts go from season to season. They remain relevant this summer, though with one condition – the right style. Forget about short and tight models. Boldly take elongated. Give preference to models with scuffs and fringes. Do not pass by colored variations of denim.

Com o que usar?

In 2023, the main fashion trend is the total look. Boldly choose “on top” denim shirts. For a walk in the park, a successful combination will be a white top with open shoulders with eyelets and denim shorts. Denim looks good with olive shades, so wear it with military-style jackets.

Cotton

For a few seasons now, loose-fitting midi versions with a belt have not gone out of fashion. Despite the fact that these are mostly sports models, the waistline will stand out favorably. Ties on the belt play a big role in this. Inset pockets will add functionality and practicality.
