Classic shorts

The modern world of fashion is full of variety and many unusual ideas. The non-standard views of designers also apply to classic clothing. If in the old days a standard classic suit consisted only of sets with trousers or a skirt, now shorts in a classic style are quite acceptable.

According to historical data, the first shorts appeared at the beginning of the nineteenth century, representing loose-fitting trousers, the length of which was just below the knee. At that time, such shorts were an exclusively masculine attribute of the wardrobe and the favorite clothes of golfers.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the fashion for shorts spread everywhere, and this type of clothing became available for women, and a little later, shorts became the classic choice of outdoor enthusiasts. Among the many shorts that were rapidly appearing in the fashion world, classic shorts, which began their existence as part of the clothing of athletes and pioneers, were of particular importance.

And modern couturiers have led to the fact that shorts can even be considered part of a classic business suit, if they have a restrained length and sophisticated cut, and do not look vulgar.

The most common material used to make classic shorts is suiting. Often these shorts have crisp ironed arrows and small cuffs, adding a touch of coquetry to a strict model.

Tweed shorts are also popular for the cooler seasons. But most often a model made of this material is not used as an independent element, but comes complete with a stylish cropped tweed jacket.

For the hot summer period, classic shorts are made from linen and cotton fabrics. Such models are well ventilated and do not create discomfort in extreme heat.

Many may have a characteristic question: what to wear with classic women's shorts? Indeed, at first glance, drawing up an image with this wardrobe attribute may seem one of the most difficult tasks. But everything is quite simple, the main thing is to adhere to some rules:

• If the shorts are short, choose a more discreet and closed top;
• For elongated shorts to the knee, you can pick up a more open top, with a shallow neckline;
• You should not combine short classic shorts with vulgar, defiant shoes.

Let's consider in more detail what things classic shorts are most successfully combined with.

Classic black shorts are perfect for blouses in light shades, for example, cream, white, ivory or light lemon shades. Combining short classic shorts (with or without cuffs) and a discreet blouse with a collar under the throat, you can get a very beautiful and sophisticated look in a business style.

The classics often dictate rules, part of which is the presence of a jacket, blazer or jacket. Classic shorts can be easily combined with any of these options. In addition, this model of shorts goes well with outerwear, whether it be a light raincoat, a warm coat or even a daring leather biker jacket.

Knee-length shorts can also be very successfully combined with all of the above things, but they look most harmonious with a classic white cotton shirt. This outfit will match any office dress code.

In the choice of shoes, you should also adhere to more discreet models. Pumps are perfect as with any heels: high, medium or low heels - in any case, this model will look great with shorts.

In addition, any neat mid-heeled shoes or elegant ballet flats with a rounded and slightly pointed toe will suit the shorts. Make sure that the shoes match the color scheme of the entire look, otherwise it will turn out to be tasteless and inappropriate.
