If you want to know what 20-something It girls are wearing right now, the answer is simple: shorts. From denim cutoffs to micro sporty styles, young fashion lovers are embracing the style—and for good reason: it is still peak summer. But even if your mind has already shifted to fall wardrobe planning, shorts can easily stay in your rotation. Insiders are already showing us how to seamlessly transition them into the upcoming season, starting with two key flat-shoe trends: loafers and moto boots.
These two styles are closely associated with fall dressing, but they are also completely timeless, which is why chic dressers like Olivia Jade and Lila Moss are leaning into them right now.
(Image credit: The Image Direct)This week while in NYC, Jade was spotted wearing a casual yet polished look that consisted of blue drawstring shorts, a black T-shirt, and black loafers. For accessories she chose an oversized shoulder bag and low-ankle socks. Also in the city this week Lila Moss was seen wearing shorts but a distressed denim pair that she styled with a low-scoop white tank top and mid-calf moto boots. She completed the ensemble with a leather belt and shoulder bag.
Whether you take inspiration from Jade or Moss when it comes to styling your shorts from now until fall you can't go wrong. Both loafers and moto boots will instantly give your bottoms a more considered, editorial finish and add just the right amount of fall attitude without feeling seasonally premature.
