Outfit #2- Styled Up Graphic Tee
My favorite hack for styling denim shorts to look cute but edgy is to throw on a graphic tee and accessorize! Add your favorite jewelry, sunglasses, hair accessories, and a cute bag and your look is effortlessly chic! The perfect look for casual outings during the summer months.
Outfit #3- Kimono Chic
I love throwing a kimono on in the summertime as the easiest way to elevate my outfits with a very breezy layer! This is a more casual look paired with the graphic tee and white sneakers. But I think it takes my summer staple denim high-waisted shorts and really takes them to the next level without much effort!
Outfit #4- Casual Cardigan Look
A bodysuit + oversized cardigan + high-rise denim shorts = the cute but relaxed fit of my dreams! This shorts outfit is perfect for spring into summer and there are numerous ways you can style this even further by adding chunky platform sandals or sneakers, and a cute bag and accessories.
Outfit #5- Sporty With a Button Down
One of the most classic denim shorts outfits! A button down always looks stylish and chic. Love giving it a sportier vibe with a baseball cap and comfortable sneakers, for an overall outfit that is a simple look but the perfect balance of casual and cool.
Outfit #6- Cute in a Bodysuit
Keep it simple in your favorite bodysuit and a pair of denim shorts as the perfect canvas to add personality to with your accessories, bag and shoes! The perfect outfit for the summer time when it gets really hot. An easy way to put together your own epic outfit with a number of different varieties of chic accessories out there. I went for leather sandals, rattan crossbody bag, a cute headband, beachy jewelry and fun sunglasses!
Outfit #7- Spring Ready
Fun spring colors make me happy! So this jorts outfit gets some fun pops of color with the short sleeved cardigan, fun necklace and mini longchamp bag (my most recent hyper-fixation because I am low key obsessed!) This is one of those chic looks that makes you feel like a cool girl and definitely falls under the category of "dopamine dressing".
Outfit #8- Fall Transition Outfit
Who says you can't rock a denim short outfits in the Fall? Especially if you live in warmer climates! Here I paired mine with a lightweight sweater, some cute fall ankle boots, a chic little crossbody bag and a fall fedora hat!
Outfit #9- Pop of Leopard
If you need a chic daytime casual look then demim shorts and a leopard tank top are a winning combination. The perfect addition to your summer wardrobe! Style it up with some strappy heels and neutral accessories and this will quickly become one of your favorite casual outfit ideas for the warmer weather.
Outfit #10- Date Night Chic
If you need a stylish look for date night this spring or summer then this is a great choice! Swap your leather jacket for a chic leather blazer, and throw it on over a chic tank top and classic blue denim shorts.
