Some clothes seem to be made for strictly one season and one season only. Examples: bikinis (summer), sweater (winter). But now two seasonal pieces summer shorts and autumn boots are finding themselves paired together as a hot new trend.
If wearing shorts with boots sounds way too fashion-y and celeb inspired, don��t worry it��s actually an easy and fun trend to wear, as long as you follow a few simple rules.
- Have fun with it! It started as an LA trend, but since this look has come across the pond, it��s evolved considerably. So don��t limit yourself: try ankle booties, low heeled cowboy boots, or flat boots. Wear different fabrics and colors of shorts. And don��t be afraid to add boho or rocker accessories like a great hat, a scarf, or major earrings it all adds to the cool girl vibe.
- Don��t go too short or too tight. Itsy bitsy shorts are fine on a starlet, but for the mortals among us, it��s probably wise to make sure those shorts are long enough to be considered a piece of clothing. And make sure the tailoring is somewhat relaxed!
- Skip the tall boots. Tall boots especially, gulp, with heels take this trend into tacky territory, so keep it classy with short boots and low heels.
- Add a cute top. A screen tee, a blouse, a crochet sweater all three are perfect toppers for the shorts-and-boots combo.
- Don��t limit yourself to the daytime! Take a cue from British pop starlet Jade Williams, who wore sequined shorts and ankle booties to Karl Lagerfield��s opening at Selfridges last month. Glam it up for night with glitter, leather, and a pair of heeled ankle boots, or add a tailored blazer to complete the look, a la Saturdays girl Mollie King.
- Take it into the autumn. Add opaque tights and a fitted jacket and you��re ready to wear this trend into the cooler autumn months.
