With Summer already in full swing, you've probably found your go-to pair of shorts, but you may be looking for some fresh ways to style them. While finding cute and summery tops to wear with them is key, getting the perfect footwear is equally important. Since wearing shorts puts your feet on full display, the right shoes can make or break your outfit.
Whether you prefer to rock long fitted Bermuda shorts or would rather show off your legs in itty-bitty short shorts, there's a shoe out there that perfectly complements every silhouette. Read on to see what shoes to wear with every kind of shorts, or jump ahead to your favourite style.
Tailored Shorts
A stylish pair of tailored shorts will take you from your desk to happy hour in a snap. Keep them office-appropriate during the day with flat slides or loafers, and come 5 o'clock, swap out your work shoes in favour of options with whimsical accents like feathers or tassels. The fun, embellished footwear will help balance out the structured shorts outside the office.
Denim Cutoffs
Since denim cutoffs are likely your go-to off-duty shorts, pair them with shoes that you can run around in. Sleek sandals and fancy flats will get you to backyard BBQs and outdoor soirées with ease. If you're headed to a music festival, wear them with cute chelsea boots to keep your feet protected.
High-Waisted Shorts
Leather Shorts
Leather shorts up the cool factor of any outfit. Dress them up with low-block heels or trendy mules. Or pair them with matching leather booties for a sleek, coordinated look.
Bermuda Shorts
Short Shorts
Do you love to show off your legs in short shorts? Make your pins look even longer by pairing the itty-bitty bottoms with modern pumps or flesh-toned heels. If flats are more your thing, ground the tiny shorts with a cool pair of chunky sandals.
Biker Shorts
Believe it or not, biker shorts are having a cool fashion moment this Summer. If you need a little sartorial inspo when it comes to styling them, just look to Kim Kardashian, who has worn them with shoes like thin-strap heels, dad sneakers, and PVC sandals.
