How To Wear Shorts

Shorts can be a tricky item to master. What shape do you go for? What do you team them with? Are they just to be reserved for holidays? But when styled right they look super chic, as well as having a little more edge than your usual summer skirts and dresses. Read on for four different cuts and how to wear them the ICONS way.

Bermuda

The Bermuda short can seem daunting, but its length makes it an elegant alternative to a skirt that we think is worth fully embracing. We recommend going for a slightly looser pair, and balancing the proportions with a more fitted blouse or tee.

Paperbag

I always pack a pair of shorts in my suitcase. Not only are they perfect for sight-seeing, I also love them as a beach cover-up. A paperbag waist is my go-to, as it’s comfortable enough for hot temperatures, while the shape is super flattering, nipping in my waist and skimming over everything else.

Printed

Nothing says summer like bright colours and prints. Our favourite way to wear these statement shorts is with our new ICON, the body, which will give you a really smooth line on your top half, which allows you to be more bold on your bottom half. Embrace this time of year and have fun with your wardrobe.

Denim

Most of us have a pair of denim shorts at the back of our wardrobe that have been neglected. At Wardrobe ICONS, we’re all about getting maximum wear from our clothes, so elevate them for the city with a tailored linen blazer and sleek accessories.
