The temperature is rising and we can’t wait to pull out our favorite pair of jean shorts, like these from Lucky Brand. And, we know that once we do, we’re going to wear them 24/7 — morning,
noon, and night! To jumpstart your denim styling, we are teaming up with Lucky
Brand to give away a trip to Miami for two, complete with round-trip airfare, a
three-night stay at Circa 39, daily breakfast, a mixology class, and tickets to your choice of the
Pérez Art Museum or a tasting tour at the Wynwood Brewing Company. You’ll
also get a $1,000 shopping spree to Lucky Brand to properly suit up for the weekend!
Enter to win here, and read below to see how we’re styling our denim shorts all
season long.
Ease Into The Season
Just because it’s not balmy summer yet doesn’t mean you
can’t break out the denim shorts. For any time of day, reach for your favorite
cashmere sweater or chunky knit to stay cozy while still exposing your legs.
Slip into a pair of ballet flats instead of sandals, and start rocking the
trend right now!
Button Up
In stripes, florals, colors, and simple white, we can’t seem
to collect enough crisp button-downs. There are just so many styling
options — especially with a pair of denim shorts. For a weekend brunch or a walk
around the city, our favorite way to style them is with a shirt that is slouchy, but
still slim. Leave it untucked — with a slimmer style, you won’t look disheveled.
Just The Classics
There’s nothing better than a boyfriend-fit pair of cutoffs with a striped tee. Find a pair of shorts that slouches just so and rests
at your hipline. Fashion a half-tuck with your favorite Breton-stripe top, and
you will find yourself reaching for that daytime combo every day from now until
Christmas!
Canadian Tuxedo
Denim-on-denim shouldn’t stop being a thing just because you’ve
transitioned from pants to shorts! Whether it’s a boxy chambray top or heavier
button-down, slip into denim head-to-toe. Make sure your denim hues are slightly different from one another to add a dimension of texture and color. Style this look with flats for daytime wear, and switch
them out for heeled booties once the sun starts to set. The Canadian tux
works for every occasion!
Wear Them All Night Long
Can’t bear to let your denim shorts go when dressing for a
night out? A blazer will be your savior. Tuck in anything from a simple white
tee to a silk camisole, belt the shorts if you wish, and finish it off with a
longline blazer and a pair of loafers.
For The Beach
We can’t forget about occasions marked by sand and ocean
waves. High-waisted denim shorts paired with a longline bustier bathing-suit
top are a great way to expose a little skin when sunbathing, but not going
full-on bikini.
