Style Tip of the Day: How to Look Good in Baggy Shorts

With comfort first in mind this summer, loose clothing and oversize silhouettes are the focus in fashion. That includes  shorts, too. My style tip of the day is a simple formula for how to look good in baggy shorts such as paperbag shorts, cargo shorts, etc. Age doesn’t matter.

Style Tip of the Day:

With paper-bag shorts (or cargo styles, flowy cotton or baggy linen shorts) tuck in a slim-fit tank or wear a boxier top. A strappy pair of sandals will keep things from looking too heavy.

Tucking a boxy shirt or top into loose shorts lends shape and finesse.

Besides a slim-fit tank, you may prefer to tuck in a fitted top such as a t-shirt. Chain jewelry is a modern addition since it is trending this season.

In lieu of tucking in a loose shirt, you might like to tie it at the waist for shape. A shirt that’s already made with a tie-front is a great addition to loose shorts that have a regular waist. It mimics the popular look of tie-waist paperbag shorts.
