Styling Tips for Wearing Jorts
While some may argue that jorts are a polarising trend, we believe anyone can rock this casual and comfy look with the right styling. Whether you're heading to a backyard barbecue or a weekend getaway, here are some tips to help you style your jorts with confidence:
1. Choose the right fit: Finding the perfect fit is key with jorts. Opt for a pair that sits comfortably on your waist and has a length that flatters your body type. Remember, jorts come in cuts like high-waisted, boyfriend, or distressed. Experiment with different styles to see what suits you best.
2. Pair with a graphic tee: For a laid-back and effortless look, team your jorts with a cool graphic tee. Like a band tee, vintage-inspired artwork, or even a simple slogan that speaks to your style. This combo is a classic go-to and gives off a relaxed and effortlessly cool vibe.
3. Add a touch of femininity: Jorts don't have to be confined as masculine. Switch things up by pairing them with a flowy blouse or fitted top. Cropped blouses with delicate details like embroidery or lace perfectly work well with jorts. Complete the look with sandals and a statement bag, and you'll be ready for a stylish summer day out.
4. Smarten up your jorts for work: Add a crisp button-down shirt or structured blazer. Tucking in the shirt and adding a belt can instantly elevate the look, making it appropriate for coffee meetings or casual Friday in the office.
5. Layer with a lightweight jacket: Jorts can seamlessly transition into the cooler summer evenings and early spring. Pair them with a lightweight denim or leather jacket for added edge and warmth. This combination creates a chic, effortless look that is perfect for those slightly unpredictable weather days.
6. Accessorise wisely: Don't forget to accessorise to complete your jorts look. Add a pop of colour with a statement belt, and throw on some delicate necklaces or on-trend sunglasses. You can even tie a colourful scarf around your neck or wear a straw hat to add a playful touch to your ensemble.
