Textured Patterns

Bright-colored and printed shorts are a hot item for the summer months, according to Seventeen.com. When paired with a plain blouse, the bright colors will add an element of fun to your wardrobe. Depending on your current style goals, you can select stripes, zig-zags or patterned diamonds to create movement and texture.

Break Out Your Old Cutoffs

Cut-off jean shorts are a hot-ticket item for this summer, according to Macys.com. Either break out your old cutoffs in traditional colors, such as black or blue denim, or purchase a new, bright pair. Why cutoffs? They add a little feathering accent at the bottom without the concern of your shorts will unravel.

Pair cut-off jeans with cute sandals and a simple patterned boatneck, flower-patterned silk or a fun, ruffly pirate shirt. The flowing cut of a frilly shirt will keep you comfortable during hot weather while maintaining a playful mismatch style.

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize

Style is never complete without adding a few pieces of fun jewelry, a cute purse or a mismatched belt. Add some extra spunk in your step with bright accessories that make a big statement.

Pick out pieces that are large and have interesting patterns. Since bright colors are gaining in popularity this summer, your accessories will look best if they match those bright shades. For example, if you are wearing a red blouse, then you want jewelry that has red stones or matches well with the shade of red you have selected.
