STYLING
HOW TO WEAR TRANSITIONAL SHORTS
By Lakeisha Goedluck, September 9, 2018
If you’re gearing yourself up to pack away your favorite pair of shorts till next year, then think again — rocking your mid-lengths mid-season is a solid look. To pull off the aesthetic, take a look at the styling tips below to give your shorts longevity.
Popping patterns
As far as the weather’s concerned lately, it’s a toss-up every day to determine if it’ll be warm, cold, or somewhere in-between. We’re an optimistic bunch here at ASOS, so a "dress for the weather you want" approach is how we’re living. On the days when the sun decides to make
an appearance, make sure to crack out your most in-your-face pair of shorts. Channel those bygone summer vibes and pair them with a striped short-sleeved shirt. A black visor, cross-body bag and hi-top kicks will balance out the look.
Streetwear steez
Since last fall/winter, the sartorially savvy have been backing all things '90s. To emulate the streetwear aesthetic of the decade, dad-style denim shorts are a must. Don a color-block track jacket like this one from retro sportswear giant
Champion, and throw in a bucket hat in the same colors as your outer layer. On foot, opt for a pair of standout chunky sneakers and switch up the sartorial status quo by wearing your fanny pack in the traditional way.
Jump on it
For the ultimate example of transeasonal dressing, look no further. A sweater-and-shorts combo may appear a little mismatched at first, but it’s the best option for when it’s temperate outside. Go for a heritage-style
diamond-knit sweater and pick a contrasting pair of shorts to signify that you’re not ready to let your vibrant summer gear go just yet. Sandals and socks will look slick but keep your feet protected and an on-trend bucket hat won’t go amiss.
