Sure shot ways of wearing shorts this season

-

short has never been this fun. As the temperatur­e continues to soar, designers and stylists tell us the right way to style your shorts.

From denim shorts to breathable khaki variants, and basic cotton options — keeping classics in your wardrobes is essential. For your staples, choose a comfortabl­e length to be mobile all day. “Classic white tailored shorts with American folds (small pleats on top) work well with timeless nautical stripes. Don’t forget to style it with an XXL canvas tote and cork platform shoes for maximum appeal,” suggests designer Jyoti Bajaj.

Choosing the right print according to your body type is vital. “Avoid chunky/big prints,” says stylist Eshaa Amiin. Pair scattered floral printed shorts with a lace tank or frill top for a feminine look. For a perfect beach getaway, team your shorts with a white oversized shirt in classic gingham checks. Graphic, bold patterns work well for shorts when paired with a solid hue top or a simple black T-shirt.

“Those with an appleshape­d body type should avoid horizontal stripes that broaden waist details and should instead opt for vertical stripes. Women with pearshaped bodies should go for darker shades instead of lighter ones, and avoid big and bold graphic prints. Petite girls can go for tiny, shortshort­s as they will add an illusion of longer length,” adds Bajaj.

Don’t layer shorts with stockings. If you are in the mood to experiment, go for statementm­aking fishnets. You can also wear a pair of sequinned shorts or coloured shorts beneath a sheer skirt to pep up the look. Wearing a shirt as a shrug with a camisole underneath and denim shorts is a casual-cool way to go. Even a coordinate­d blazer with shorts can be great for formal meet-ups.

Cotton, khadi, and linen are great options to go for. Shorts that are made of polyester blends, matte jersey, georgette and chiffon can also be on your list depending on how hot it is outside. And leather, silk and satin should be avoided during summer. ggs and egg whites have been a major part of a woman’s beauty ritual for ages.

Egg white, the translucen­t part in a fresh egg, can be your go-to beauty saviour. As soon as you break an egg, separate the egg yolk from the white and mix with a few ingredient­s to get glowing skin.
