Trending: Summer Shorts Suit

Summer Shorts Suit

The summer season is arriving this weekend with the kick-off of the Memorial Day weekend. And with it comes the latest of fashion trends, the summer shorts suit.

What exactly is a shorts suit, you ask? Simply put, a shorts suit is a pantsuit with shorts. It’s a perfect option for those casual – dressy occasions.

Ultimately the trend of wearing a loose fitting blazer with a pair of boxy shorts is a very practical idea. On many summer days and evening, we often find ourselves spending time indoors in a chilly air-conditioned environment. Of course, the plus of the shorts suit, is we just remove our blazer once we are in summer heat again.

My Style

the classic design of pantsuit styled with the relaxed look and feel of wearing shorts.

One of my favorite looks is a casual outfit with a classic flare. And so, the trend of wearing a shorts suit is a dream come true because it is so easy to put together an outfit with items already my closet.

My J Crew blazer was purchased from the Nordstrom’s Sale last year. Since I live in Florida, shorts and tees or tank tops are a wardrobe staple. Lastly, I added some statement print espadrilles and a colorful crossbody bag.

If you like this look, I am linking some similar items to help you recreate your very own classic summertime outfit below.

  3. I love short suits too! Very handy on hot summer days when you need to look put together yet want to stay cool too. Great outfit!

    • Lesley,

      Short suits are an ideal fashion option for us ladies living in the hot south. I’m happy they are trending this season!

    • Oh, Amy,

      You could wear this look so easy. Don’t be overwhelmed by the idea of the shorts. Just think about the length. A pair of shorts with a longer leg, such as Bermuda shorts would look great on you!
      Think of the fact that you can wear shorts that are the same length as a summer skirt or dress.

    • Phyllis,

      Think of the length of the shorts that work best for your frame… and then you’ve got it made!!!

      xoxo
