TREND TO TRY: SHORTS

Well, with the past few weeks of warm weather we've had I think it's safe to say spring has officially sprung! Time to pack up those winter pants and pull out your shorts. There are so many shapes and colors to experiment with. Try out any of these styles that we love!

Patterned: We love this floral cuffed pair from Alice + Olivia. Pair it with a solid t and keep the emphasis on the pattern. the print makes it easy to wear casually during the day, or dress up by throwing on a cardigan and cute wedges.


High Waisted: Try this solid black pair of high waisted shorts from H&M for something different. Tuck in a fitted shirt or a blouse and use the bow to bring the look together. Keep your colors on top neutral and wear it with a bright pair of flats or sandals for a pop of color!


Colored: Spring is the time to bring out your brightest colors! This kelly green pair from J Crew is the perfect example. Their new four-inch is a great mid-length between their classic three and five inch shorts. Pair it with a springtime white blazer and you're ready to go!


Denim: Keep it classic with a pair of denim shorts! This cuffed pair from Joe's Jeans is a great pick. Since they can be worn with practically anything, keep them in your closet as a staple piece.


Lace: This pair of lace shorts from Free People is adorable! The lace is playful enough that it can be worn during the day with a casual top or dressed up to go out. We love the coral color for springtime!


Tap: Try out a pair of flowy tap shorts this spring! Belt the top of the shorts at your waist to accentuate the shape of them. Make sure to keep your top fitted since the shorts are loose. Dress it up with some long necklaces and a pair of gladiator sandals to complete the outfit!


Pleated: Another unique shape we like for this season is in pleated shorts. We love the yellow color of this Dolce Vita pair and the skinny belt that comes with them!
