Summer comes early in Amman so I’ve started shopping for shorts to beat the heat. I’m a fan of anything with a high waist (especially post-baby) so that’s the style I’ve been drawn to the most lately. I thought I’d dedicate a post with my favorite tips and tricks for styling them in order to get the most flattering look.There’s something about high-waist shorts that makes your legs look super long (petite gals can appreciate that!) I had this striped pair on my wishlist for awhile and picked them up during the recent Shopbop sale. I love the cuff detail and ring belt which looks so cute with a top tucked in. Shopbop has a wide selection of shorts with lots more high-rise styles to choose from and I also just bought this pair. Keep on reading for some of my favorite tips for styling high-waist shorts.
How to Style High Waist Shorts for Summer
- pair them with a fitted top like a tank or tee
- if the shorts have belt loops, add a belt to draw attention to the high waistline
- wear wedge heels like these for a leg-lengthening effect
- throw on a lightweight denim jacket or vest for layered interest
