The hot weather of Southern California gives residents an excuse to wear shorts all year long. While this is a unique privilege, it also comes with a challenge: making this summer staple new. This Fashionista found a way by taking advantage of the summer’s obsession with fun prints. The geometric lines and shapes give the print a native feel while the colors provide ample opportunity for matching.
When putting together her outfit, this Fashionista chose an earthy-toned blouse with a matching sling purse reinforcing the native element of the shorts. In order to kick it up a notch, she threw on a pair of wedges with stripes at the bottom, creating a cohesive head-to-toe look. It is also good to keep in mind that choosing a color from the print to match on top can help make the pattern pop. For example, a black collared blouse would have highlighted the pattern of these particular shorts. Choosing a contrasting color works, as well.
What is especially great about an outfit like this is the amount of places it can be worn. This Fashionista is set for a day of shopping, while music festivals and concerts also provide an excellent opportunity to show off a print like this, especially with a great hair accessory and sandals for more comfort. This look would also turn heads at a party with friends. Whether it is a native print, floral print or animal print, make sure you get some into your summer closet.
