15 Things to Wear With Black Shorts
Beyond a bit of a love-hate relationship when it comes to finding the right fit, we love shorts. And come summer, we sport a pair on an almost daily basis. Denim cutoffs are always a safe bet, but this season, there's a wide range of shorts making rounds that we can't pinpoint, which is our favorite. Bermuda shorts, biking shorts, and even leather pairs are all appealing. What all these styles have in common is that they're the color we'll never stop wearing and one that will never be out of style: black.
What really drew us to black shorts this season is how effortlessly our favorite Instagram style stars have been styling their go-to pairs. They're polished, laid-back, classic, athletic-inspired—truthfully, the list can go on and on. Look ahead to see what we mean and to get inspired as well.
