Popsugar Fashion Summer Fashion Shorts Outfits 7 Fresh Ways to Style Shorts Like a Fashion Girl 26 May 2019 by Laura Lajiness Kaupke Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Maria del Rio As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

Bathing suits, yeah, they're also major. Dresses? I mean, obviously, but we wear those year-round. Miniskirts? They probably get more wear in the heat, but you can layer them with tights in the Winter, too. Shorts are quintessentially Summer, thus making a range of shorts outfits essential — whether you style yours for weekends, work (which, yes, can be a thing), or holiday. While denim cutoffs are usually the go-to in the shorts department, smarter styles with feminine touches abound this season, from high-rise silhouettes that fit looser and longer on the leg to playful prints and frilled hems. Even jean shorts are seeing a reboot via chambray fabrics with cargo pockets and ruched waist detailing. If you're counting down the days until you can sport your shorts with glee, read ahead and check out seven affordable pairs from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's that I've styled out into head-to-toe outfits for a range of occasions. And for more Summer styling ideas, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's, where you'll discover a range of outfits you can wear to the office, for Summer parties, on action-packed weekends, and more. 1 POPSUGAR Printed Pull-On Shorts Image Source: kohls.com For dinner, drinks, or a festive occasion, team a pair of printed shorts with a puffy-sleeve top, and finish with strappy sandals, a sleek woven bag, and a cute anklet.
