If you were blessed with nice legs, if you have worked out hard all Winter to tone yours, or even better if you are comfortable to show the ones you were given, shorts should be a staple item in your wardrobe. Very often we think about shorts as the ideal day casual piece to wear and feel comfortable when it's warm outside. But shorts can also be dressed up. If you still think that plain shorts should be worn only casually, you can opt for embellished ones. Sequins, sparkly materials, lace and many other details can make shorts suitable for a romantic dinner, an evening out with the girls and much more.
The key, as with any other garment, is to pair these kind of shorts correctly. You will want to dress them up, if you are wearing them for a fancy occasion, but since they are already embellished you should be careful not to over do it. If the shorts is sparkly and intricate in its fabric, make sure to pair it with a nice but simple top. Silk or any smooth fabric with no design will make the shorts stand out even more. Go with a sleeveless top and pair it with a sleek blazer to dress your outfit even more.
In the above Polyvore set I created, you can see 3 different outfits featuring embellished shorts. One has a silver shorts which I paired with a black sleeveless blouse and a black blazer. The sleek leather slingback shoes make the outfit elegant but modern. The embellished pointed collar of the top makes this outfit a little edgy. For the second outfit, I decided to pair the sparkly black shorts with a black sleeveless blouse, black suede pumps and a flowy blazer in a soft cream blazer. This outfit is still elegant but a little bit more girly. The last outfit features lace shorts which I decided to pair with a dark blush blouse and a wrap over black jacket. The slingback sandals are the perfect match to complete this feminine look. Keep your accessories simple and make sure your legs are smooth and glowing.
