Chic Shorts

(UPDATED: June 14, 2012)

While shorts are fairly casual, it doesn't mean they are ONLY for casual wear. A recent trend of short suits show that shorts can be chic bottoms to wear. This blog post showcases dressy and chic shorts looks. They range from chic looks to short suits and more. It is a chance for me to showcase other bloggers who show that you CAN wear shorts and look chic/classy/cute all the while.

So before I begin, I just want to remind you that this blog post concerns only dressy looks and dressy shorts. So do NOT expect to see any denim jean shorts or any seriously casual non-denim shorts.

--- Chic Shorts: A Recent Fondness ---

Here is a video look at a trend I've recently become fond of:

For some reason, I've somehow loved the combination of a blazer with some chic short shorts (not denim jean short shorts, mind you). The common mindset is that all shorts are casual and can't possibly be made chic. Almost as if shorts are off-limits, leaving some to only wear dresses or skirt outfits (as far as leg-bearing garments are concerned). Recent times have shown that shorts are just as dressy as any skirt look or any dress look. Some shorts are stylish enough to be worn with various chic garments or even for a night out.

I often love females wear a cute pair of cuffed twill or wool short shorts. Those alone are good enough for even semi-formal looks. Certain linen shorts can be just as stylish to wear. But really, linen is almost undeniably casual. My preference in this blog post mostly pertains to classy short shorts, so I'm not going to discuss Bermuda shorts. I just don't really like feminine long shorts as much as I do short shorts.

So you have a little insight on chic pairs of shorts.

The beautiful American-Belizean Tiffany has a lot of blog posts showcasing her style. I have her among my Mexican and Central American beauties for a reason. One of them is in this blog post of hers.

This blog post concerns a super-cute lady named Yi-chia who runs a blog called "Always Maylee." I learned that "Maylee" is Mandarin for "beautiful."

So take a look at the post below to see the lovely Yi-chia show you a chic shorts look.

Chic Shorts: suki pooki.

(ADDED: June 14, 2012)
You would think a pair of non-denim jean shorts and some flats would be fairly casual. Well, the blazer Suki wears with this outfit gives the outfit a chic touch. Suki goes chic with this pair of shorts in this post.

Cute cuffed shorts with a color combination of black and charcoal help set up this post. Jelena of "Glam and Fab Chameleon" styles a nice pair of shorts with a hot look. Let this Serbian beauty show you how to style a chic pair of shorts... or at least how she styles her charcoal gray shorts.

It is time I welcome a new blog to my discussion of various other bloggers. I recently came across a blog that would be too good to pass up for this blog post. A beautiful blogger from the central Asian nation of Kazakhstan features a lovely outfit showcasing the chic appeal of a blazer and shorts. This Kazakhstani lady's name is Aibina, and this is her chic shorts style.
