This Summer: Shorts

Over my next few posts I will be exploring what I think will look good this summer, and what I want to be wearing. I am a very firm believer in maintaining clothing choices that work for the wearer. While fashions change, very regularly at that, I feel that it is best to buy items of clothing that will be timeless, or as your personal style evolves, timeless during that period. This entry is not going to preach what’s in this summer, and therefore must be worn, because lets face it, some trends are ugly, but rather what trends I think will be suit me this summer.

Let’s face it; summer provides lots of fun options when it comes to clothes. Between shorts, singlets, jumpsuits and dresses, plus more, there is always something new to do with what you wear, unlike winter were the main priority is to aviod catching hypothermia. While summer is hot, it is only appropriate to wear very little clothes in few situations, the beach or pool, some festivals because lets face it, there is a lot of slimily bodies packed into a small space so fewer clothes help, to an extent, with the heat. The one rule I think applies everywhere though is it is only appropriate to display legs OR chest, if you do both don’t be offended if people offer you money for sex.

Short wise this summer I will be sticking with denim, but not the slashed style that was so popular last summer. While I still love my denim cut-offs I unfortunately loved them more before they turned into tiny pieces of fabric. I can say I indeed have got more than my moneys worth from them, and will continue to sneakily wear them around the house but they are not fit for public anymore. Due to this I think high waisted denim cut-offs will still be a great purchase, just ones that are intact. Along with denim, I will be wearing both loose and tight-ish high waisted shorts in an array of fabrics. As a short person I find high waisted, or semi high waisted, pants help make my legs look a tiny bit longer, which I will have to be happy with. I think nice soft colours such as peach, and pale pink and green will look fantastic for a block colour effect and bold prints will be great when paired with a plain shirt, particularly for a different look when going out.
