I have to say I love a good manifestation. I truly believe that if you keep envisioning something for yourself, it will come into your life. So I manifested these shorts into my life. It may be the end of the summer but I’m as happy as can be… okay that’s really because in Houston we’re going to have another month-month and a half of summer so that’s that.
See the reason I’m so into these shorts right now is that I used to absolutely hate denim shorts. I used to wear them all the time right after high school. And I mean all the time that now they just remind me of me at 18. Not really a vibe when you’re a decade older. But recently, I realised that I just need to shift to a new cut of denim shorts and these are it for me.
Let's break it down
Bermuda shorts (kiiiinda like the ones I’m wearing but slightly longer) are back so if you have long legs (not necessarily supermodel-like but long enough to where when you were short shorts its like miles of leg) then you should totally go for them - they’ll accentuate your legs and you’ll look hot and on-trend as fuck
If you’re short - go for the short shorts, you’re one of the lucky ones who are actually able to wear those and trust me the rest of us are jealous
Curvy? High waist all the way - they’ll highlight those amazing curves and be super comfortable for your waist and hips
Cuffed and dark denim is perfect for those of you with toned legs or apple body types - it’ll shift focus to your legs
Where to buy
Really though, I would say take a day and go to a store near you that you know has a lot of denim shorts options and try on every style that you can find in your size. Bring a friend, take pics (for later references) and really find the wash and cut that works best for you. I know summer is basically over but don’t forget about those post-season sales. I honestly love buying summer clothes in the winter and winter clothes in the summer because you can sometimes get amazing discounts. Some great stores for denim short selections are: Madewell, Good American, Wild Fable, Levis, AGOLDE and Abercrombie & Fitch (what a throwback right? But really they have some really cute ones and who doesn’t secretly love the smell of their store?)
Spice things up
Now for an outfit like this – that’s a little androgynous and a little plain – the essential is to play up the accessories. Think statement pieces always. If you don’t have much colour in your closet or only have a couple that you really really fuck with, accessories that stand out are your best friend. Shoes, jewellery (think big earrings, layering necklaces, stacking rings) and bags (the funkier the better). Sometimes, an accessory will make a whole outfit or it’ll tie it together into the perfect ensemble taking your outfit from cute to fucking street style icon.
