I bought a $3 pair of white shorts from the thrift because...I don't know. My fashion fickle was probably all over it last year. Perhaps, I was won over by the high waist. The shorter length gives me a faux height boost too.
You definitely want to try on white shorts in the store. White isn't a very forgiving color. Black can be slimming and white...is not.
Look for thicker fabrics like canvas or denim so that your undergarments don't show.
Linen and / or silk white shorts that have be dry cleaned may not be more bang for your buck if you live in Chicago have short summers.
Stay away from front pleated white shorts unless you are a pro and they align with your vision.
White pretty much matches everything. Go wild! Wear bright colors.
You found your perfect pair? What do you do now? Style It:
Don't wear all white. If your outfit is all white, pair with a nude or natural colored shoe if you're going for an "all white" look.
Don't wear all white. If your outfit is all white, pair with a nude or natural colored shoe if you're going for an "all white" look.
When in doubt, wear black.
When styling shorts, consider the length of your shorts when choosing a top. If you're wearing short shorts, a longer top ain't a bad thing. Pair a midriff bearing top with knee length shorts. (I can't condone wearing bra tops though).
Short suits are trending right now and a white blazer would look hot with white shorts!

Do you wear white shorts? How do you wear them?

This was spot on. I've been looking for white shorts for the summer. They gotta be a shorter length for me too....I'm short like you and shorter shorts make my legs look a little longer.
Cute gul! I need to find some shorts for the summer!
Love that shirt.
Those shoes are too fabulous lady!
I own 1 pair of white shorts. They are jeans by Hudson and they fit my curves fabulously (loose fit in the thigh....room in the caboose). I usually pair them with a flowy top for a casual style or a blazer for a more polished look.
love the shoes too! Xo, Megan, www.TfDiaries.com

Perfect - you got it right...I can't wear all white either just because the thought of running into dirt frightens me - lol.
I thrifted white shorts and pink, but I live in the white this summer. I wear white graphic tees with black letters, green and white tanks, purple and white, anything with color, but never white on white and I pair them with my favorite summer Aztec print shoes!
