Shorts have finally got rid of their negative reputation. With these styles and styling tips, you won't be labelled a "tourist" when wearing shorts.
For a long time, they were frowned upon: shorts, which often come across in a ragged manner - preferably for tourists of US origin cough. I can't help but think of Hawaiian shirts and white socks in trekking sandals. For a fashion editor like me, a true fashion nightmare. But shorts can do much more than just cover travellers' thighs. You just need to follow a few styling tips.
The trendsetter:
The dead live longer: cargo trousers are back! Their unmistakable feature is the patch pockets. Because these shorts are borrowed from the army look, we have to deliberately break up the sportiness to make them suitable for everyday wear. By combining the trousers with a long-sleeved shirt, you take away their uncool, casual attitude.
The sportsman:
If you can't do without your favourite denims in summer, you won't want to be without this model. Although the so-called "jorts" (jeans + shorts) have become a must-have in your wardrobe and go with almost everything, you should only wear them in your free time. My tip: combine them with a simple T-shirt
and white kicks. and white kicks.
The golden boy:
Whether it's dinner or a barbecue - chino shorts always work and are therefore a true all-rounder. Preppy-style trousers (a kind of college look) also work if you want to go all out on a date - sorry, but with some ladies this trick really works. Matching the look: a bold watch on your wrist.
The hip one:
The trendy athleisure wear doesn't stop at shorts. Short track pants are now socially acceptable outside the gym too - it's the styling that makes the difference! I recommend a light cotton long-sleeved shirt (preferably striped) and smart shoes to take the sportiness out of the look.
With these 5 tips, shorts will be stylish in no time
About length: The right length is essential - the style must be neither too long nor too short. After all, you don't want to be running around in hot pants or Bermuda shorts. The perfect length ends just above the knee.
Slim-fit: It's not just the suit that's slim-fit, but also the legwear. Tend to wear your shorts "fitted", but not too tight-fitting.
At every turn: Shorts with flip-flops or Birkenstock sandals? This combination only works on a beach holiday. If you want to score points, skilfully pair the shorts with dandy shoes, smart Sneakers oder Seemansschuhen.
Smooth thing: If the temperatures allow it, wear an ironed shirt. If you want to go one step further, pair with a linen blazer.
Formality: If you are rather short, you should go for a shorter model that makes you look taller. This will make your legs look longer. Are you very tall? Then go the other way round.
