Summer Inspiration

Need to invest in more high waisted shorts for the summer. You'd be surprised how easy it is to find a pair of old high waisted pants from the thrift store and just cut, cuff, and sew. Thinking about it now, why don't I have more? *Project for the next few weeks. Since high waisted shorts used to be a thing of the past, many people have a hard time making it modern so here's a few fashion tips on the best ways to wear it!

  • Add a belt- High waisted shorts should accentuate (obviously) your waist, so wear your pair with a belt to help bring the focus in. I prefer belts with a leather feel and a vintage buckle or braided belts in an earthy tone color. 
  • Tuck in your blouse- Again, tucking in your blouse will help keep the focus on your stylish pair of shorts and will give you a polished look! Also, the shirt or blouse you have chosen will help determine the look you are looking for -casual, formal, or fun and crazy.
  • Heels or sandals- You can definitely pair your high waisted shorts with a pair of sandals for a more fun and casual look or a pair of heels for a more formal yet fashionable look. The pair of heels will look great on someone shorter as they will help elongate your legs.
  • Crop top galore- The beauty of high waisted shorts is that you can wear a crop top and not have to worry about showing too much skin. Especially if you are of shorter height like me or have a shorter torso, the crop top usually ends where the high waisted shorts begin. Perfect combination if you ask me!
