The perfect shirt for shorts - How to combine shorts correctly

How to choose the perfect shorts

The perfect pair of shorts should fit your body. They shouldn't be too loose, but they shouldn't be too tight either. Ideally, you should be able to fit two fingers between your leg and the shorts. You can roughly measure the length by your knees: It's said that the perfect pair of shorts should end about a hand's width above the knee. If your shorts are too long, you can simply roll them up—this solves your problem and gives you a more modern look. You can choose the color according to your personal preferences: both plain and brightly colored shorts are in this summer.

The simple white shirt

The classic white shirt goes well with any pair of shorts. Its simplicity makes it the perfect companion—whether you're wearing shorts in bright colors, with a striking pattern, or in muted dark blue or beige. A white shirt puts the spotlight on your shorts, so they should definitely fit well. Whether you wear the shirt tucked into your pants or tucked over your waistband will give your outfit a different look. Either way, you'll create a modern outfit that's even wearable to the office.

The perfect outfit: Combine shorts with patterned shirts

Patterned shirts go particularly well with simple shorts , as both shorts and Bermuda shorts and patterned shirts are super trendy this year. Combined, they create the perfect summer outfit. Our favorite is floral patterns on short-sleeved shirts. Shirts can also be paired with shorts at an evening event. A long-sleeved printed shirt tucked into chic shorts looks both casual and stylish. This modern combination can be further enhanced with matching accessories to create the perfect outfit.

The question of all questions: shirt in or out?

Once you've found the perfect shirt to go with shorts, there's usually just one question left: should you wear the shirt tucked in or leave it out? For a relaxed, casual look, you should wear your top over your trousers. This applies especially to T-shirts and polo shirts , but casual and city shirts can also be worn over the waistband. However, it's important to ensure that the shirt has the right cut: it shouldn't be too short, as then it might stick out, and it should be figure-hugging and tailored. You can never go wrong with a tucked-in shirt. A smart business shirt, however, should always be neatly tucked in.

The supreme discipline: jacket with shorts

A jacket with shorts. What many might associate with a clash of styles is currently the pinnacle of the fashion world. It's precisely this contrast between styles—that is, between the elegant jacket and casual shorts—that gives fashion lovers the necessary pizzazz to their outfits. If you want to pair a jacket with shorts, however, one thing should be kept in mind: avoid bright patterns. This makes the outfit appear more elegant despite the shorts.

A chic belt that matches the shoes completes the outfit.

Conclusion:

This summer, the combination of a shirt and shorts is the ideal way to show off your sense of style. The contrast between fine outerwear and sporty, casual shorts creates excitement and definitely makes you a real head-turner. It doesn't matter whether you're going to the office, the beach, or just for a stroll in the city: with a shirt and shorts combination, you'll always be dressed to the nines.
