six ways to wear your black shorts

06/18/14

black-shorts

For these one item — six ways posts, I try to pick basic pieces that most of you already own. This week, it’s black shorts! This is my particular pair — they’re flowy, but you can achieve these looks with regular black shorts too.

You might look at these shorts and think they’re pretty casual. But they can actually go from day to night with just a few simple styling tricks. Here are my favorites:

Top left: Add stripes, glasses, and flats for a demure coffee date look.

Top middle: Wear an open knit sweater and finish with fun accessories for a night out on a beach vacation.

Top right: Front tuck a chambray shirt and add a bold necklace for a simple, errand-running outfit.

Bottom left: Wear a safari shirt, bold heels, and a statement necklace for a cool, effortless night out look.

Bottom center: Fake a romper for a simple vacation look.

Bottom right: Add a utility vest and plain tee for an outdoorsy feel.

    Love these six-ways posts! You inspired me to incorporate more army/sage green into my wardrobe this spring. Can’t wait to see your summer capsule for more inspiration!

    Hi Caroline!

    Your six-way posts are wonderful :) For the past couple of years I’ve slowly downsized my wardrobe, but didn’t know how to begin to incorporate a few pieces into several outfits. Thankfully I was directed to your site from the Southern Weddings article about you + your husband’s minimally beautiful home. I love how everyday, affordable and similar your style is to mine (or how I hope it continues to grow to be). Also, all of the links to your pieces are really helpful. I brag about your blog to friends all the time! Excited to see what you come up with for your summer capsule.

    I absolutely love this blog! You are such a beautiful girl with great taste! Everything is so pretty; the clothes, the photos, even the fonts. This blog has inspired me a lot even though the climate here in Finland is slightly different… ;) Can’t wait for the summer capsule!

    all great looks! I love my black drapey shorts… they are one of those pieces you can wear with almost anything.
    I am anxiously anticipating the reveal of your summer capsule:)
    Your blog is phenomenal, girl! One of the best.
