It’s so exciting when you love a certain outfit or a trend and can immediately recreate the look with already existing pieces in your closet. You can equate that sort of feeling with the wonderful feeling you get when you find that perfect recipe and just happen to have all the ingredients lying around in your house to make it right away! The shorts and blazer combination, also known as the shorts suit, is one such outfit. It’s such a polished and chic look, yet it’s much more fun and youthful than a proper suit; and the best part is that you don’t have to shell out extra money to wear one!
Having a ton of blazers and shorts already in your closet means numerous styling possibilities, inevitably making it difficult to get bored of this look too easily. You can either match your blazer with your shorts, pair a bright blazer with neutrals, or you can even color block. To keep things casual, pick a pair of denim shorts, leave your top out, or pick an oversized, slouchy blazer. Need to dress up? Pick a lace blazer or shorts, or go for something with sequins. Tuck your blouse in or button up your blazer, and stick to a cropped or fitted style, like Gwyneth Paltrow, to look more prim. The only rule is to make sure to counter off the masculinity with high heels, red lips, scalloped details, or a feminine hairdo.
The shorts suit is so easy to wear, and with so many possible ways to mix and match, it’s a look that would flatter anyone. It’s no wonder it’s all the rage right now. I’m sharing some of my favorite ways in which celebs have styled this look below. Check them out, and get inspired! 🙂
Stay Stylish!
