The fashion industry has introduced so many trends – some of which are 10/10 – and then, there are clothes we look at and wonder what the purpose of it is. But through all the fashion crazes, shorts have been constantly trending. And we are gifted with different types of shorts, that can be styled individually and uniquely.
So, if you don’t own a pair of shorts – which I think is illegal, because everybody should own one – you should totes get on a shorts-shopping spree, toute suite! And of course, to help you out a little, here are the different types of shorts and how you can style them:
SKORTS
Every girl MUST have a pair of skorts in her closet – no exception, honey. Skorts are a type of short that is a hybrid between a skirt and a short. Super fashionable and can be paired with literally any type of top.
Whether you are going for a casual lunch date or a business meeting, skorts can be fashioned in any way, since they’re super comfortable and chic. One of my fears when I’m wearing a skirt is: what if my clumsy a$$ accidentally flashes everything down there. Thank heaven for skorts!
How to style: Skorts can come in various colours and patterns: you may match them accordingly with a tank top, a floral blouse or if you are going for a more formal look, then this can be your inspo:

LINEN SHORTS
The casual, yet “I’m here to talk business” kind of shorts. Linen shorts are made of a soft fabric, and they come in pastel or nude colours. You know when it’s hot, and you don’t wanna wear your pants, but you also don’t feel like wearing a skirt or a dress – that’s when the linen shorts come in.
If you don’t wanna put in effort, but still wanna make a statement, then linen shorts are your go-to, darling.
How to style: Linen shorts are great for all outfits. You may match them with a tank top, a body fit top, a blouse or a normal t-shirt. For instance:
