Women’s shorts are an indisputable must have for every fashionista. Modern fashion allows you to wear them at any time of the year and experiment with styles and fabrics. Today we prefer high-waisted models: Bermuda shorts, free-cut shorts, knitwear, bike shorts, tucked shorts, skirt shorts, shorts in a business style. In the cold season, pay attention to the skin – leather shorts will be an accent in your image. And in the summer, shorts made from natural materials will be an ideal choice. For example, a linen suit with shorts is a great wardrobe investment. After all, you can wear shorts and a jacket separately and make many sets.
The ideal urban option is Bermuda shorts made of linen or viscose. These are comfortable, breathable materials, and if you choose a model in a neutral shade, then there will be a lot of combinations with things from your wardrobe.

Of course, it is worth mentioning the most popular universal shorts – denim. Denim shorts do not lose their popularity and stay with us every season.
The main thing is to choose current models: bermudas, straight cut, loose cropped, with a raw edge, with tucks. We leave excessively short, tight and ragged ones in the past.
In the summer of 2022, high-waisted micro shorts will become trendsetters. Outwardly, such models resemble retro swimwear. The bow will be especially stylish if you add hoodies, closed blouses or jackets to the shorts.
Obviously, mini shorts are an option that won’t suit everyone. Therefore, many fashion houses have included comfortable Bermuda shorts in their collections – knee-length shorts. They can be found in the collections of Chanel, Chloe, Etro.
As for colors and textures, denim is still relevant here. Denim total look, a combination of different shades of denim – all these are the trends of summer 2022. Monochrome remains in trend, as well as the classic combination of black and white.
Well, it’s worth remembering that the Pantone Color Institute announced Illuminating as the color of 2022. A clean, illuminating bright yellow hue will become a piece of the sun in your bow.

What to wear with shorts to be on the same wavelength with modern fashion?
With top
Top and shorts are the perfect pair. Today, tops are more popular than ever: crop tops, knitted models, tops in linen style. The latter is a great option for a romantic bow. Pair this top with flowy shorts for a softer look. But we are not limited to this – we combine a linen-style top with denim or leather shorts and rough shoes. The game of contrasts is still relevant.
If you want to be edgy, feel free to wear a crop top with bike shorts or skinny denim shorts just above the knee. Pair with an oversized jacket with a sporty cap and you’re a street style star.
With a T-shirt
Shorts with a T-shirt are perhaps the most common combination. After all, it is convenient and versatile. Depending on the situation, you can easily give the image the right mood. Wear denim shorts with a basic t-shirt and sneakers/sneakers and go for a walk. And for a party, straight-cut denim shorts with raw edges and the same basic T-shirt are suitable. And don’t forget pumps or sandals with minimalist jumpers. If you’re tired of the classic t-shirt, look no further than the on-trend wide-shoulder tee that will add a dash of daring to any simple look.
With a shirt
Shorts with a white shirt are a versatile option for many occasions. After all, absolutely all models of shorts are combined with a basic shirt. But it is extremely important to choose a loose fit shirt. It will give the desired volume and ease to the image.
Men’s style shirt deserves special attention. This shirt will perfectly emphasize the fragility of the female figure. For a bolder and more interesting effect, beat a shirt off a man’s shoulder with a tie. Add classic shorts, an elongated trench coat, loafers or pumps.
If you don’t have a strict dress code, then you can afford business-style shorts in summer combined with a white shirt.
On vacation, an elongated shirt made of natural materials, worn over denim shorts and an unbuttoned top, will look great.
Well, fashionistas can pay attention to the jacket-shirt. Now tweed, corduroy or quilted models are especially popular, which will fit perfectly into almost any look with shorts. Alternatively, Bermuda shorts, a T-shirt, sneakers and a shirt-jacket draped over the shoulders are a boring set for a young active girl.
With a blouse
A blouse will be a great addition to shorts, especially in the case of an “outing” look. Choose trendy white cotton blouses with voluminous sleeves, exaggerated collars or other elements. Such models go well with denim or leather shorts.
Also in fashion are silk blouses in classic and pajama styles. The latter can be supplemented with shorts in the same direction – loose silk models are ideal for both a walk and a holiday. It’s all about the accessories. For the everyday option, we take white sneakers, and for the evening – trendy white sandals with jumpers and large earrings.
With a jacket
A suit with shorts is the perfect solution for any wardrobe. He will help you out more than once in case of “nothing to wear.” In addition to classic black and beige suits, color options are relevant today: green, yellow, brick, red, fuchsia. Add a trendy crop top to this suit and you will be the center of attention in this outfit.
The jacket from the suit is easy to combine with other shorts. It is important to consider only the color balance. Any color of the jacket is suitable for denim shorts, here the task is simplified.
When choosing a jacket, give preference to loose styles. Fitted silhouettes are no longer relevant. But the oversized jacket, on the contrary, is more popular than ever. Also an interesting solution would be a shortened jacket – a fresh option for those who are tired of elongated models.
With a jumper
A jumper is a universal thing for any season. In the cold season, this indispensable basic thing will help us out and warm us more than once. Pair your oversized sweater with leather Bermuda shorts and wide-leg boots for a simple yet stylish look. And in warm weather, a jumper will come in handy on a cool evening. A jumper or cardigan brings a touch of comfort and is great for creating casual sets. Denim shorts, a jersey top and a cardigan are perfect for long evening walks. Well, sneakers or sneakers will be an addition.
With hoodie and sweatshirt
Sports style lovers can rejoice – this direction is gaining momentum more and more. Today, in addition to sport-chic, a completely sporty mood is in fashion. Feel free to go on business in comfortable jersey shorts and a bulky hoodie. But do not forget that shorts should not be tight and short – a length just above the knee is especially welcome. Also combine sports with classics or sports with romance – eclecticism is in fashion and knows no rules. Leather Bermuda shorts and a cozy sweatshirt are the perfect proof of this. And add denim bike shorts with a hoodie and an oversized jacket with a cap and stiletto sandals – feminine and bold at the same time.
Knitted shorts, they usually come with a top or cardigan, it is better to leave for country trips or at home. As a rule, they fit tightly and emphasize the figure. If you feel confident enough to experiment within the city, then combine these shorts with a voluminous top – an oversized shirt, t-shirt, jacket or trench coat in cool weather.
