Summer Style- White Shorts Outfit
CASUAL white SHORTS Outfit for summer
I’m sure you’re shocked. Another outfit post, another all white summer outfit. How completely drab and un-original of me. HA! And yet here I am. No shame in my game. I just think an all white look is so chic and classic and timeless and you really can’t ever go wrong with it (unless it’s a wedding…and you’re a guest. Ha!). Whenever I don’t know what to wear (which seems to be more often than not these days), it’s truly just my go-to formula (well, that or double denim).
Pulling together a look for a recent spontaneous date night at the beach was no exception. I wanted to look chic (because date night), but casual-cool (because hello! beach) so I landed on these Brochu Walker shorts and open-stitch lightweight sweater. Now these shorts. Oof. Let me tell you about these babies! They are maybe the perfect short??! Bold claim, I know, especially coming from a gal that is historically anti-short. But they are just so soft and comfortable! They’ve officially become my shorts of the summer (aka I haven’t stopped wearing them since I got them, which you know is saying something because, again, I never wear shorts…like ever). They’re the perfect length (aka not too long, not too short), they have such a nice shape and weight that keeps them looking elevated and yet they are still super soft (thanks to the linen cotton blend material), incredibly comfortable and roomy which makes them easy to wear all day long (and the stretch comes in clutch when you’ve consumed one too many summer ice-cream cones, ya know what I’m saying?!). Honestly, I could write a whole love letter to these shorts but I’ll control myself for the sake of whoever is reading this. Just know these are some good shorts and you should get a pair and then thank me later.
As for the sweater, she’s also a beauty. 100% hemp, lightweight and just really easy to wear. The classic silhouette makes it perfect for every day use but the texture adds a fun detail to an otherwise minimal piece making it great for an elevated moment, as well. And we just love a multifunctional piece don’t we?!
I rounded out my casual-cool summer outfit with some of my favorite tried-and-true beach accessories, like my go-to beach bag (Can’t recommend this one enough! I use it for everything from the beach to the farmers market. It holds so much and it’s so chic!) and these sandals, but any woven bag and sandals or flip flops would be a great option, too.
