Athletic Shorts
The matching set trend is going right into summer, and we are here for it. This cool girl set from Reebok is easy to wear and super comfortable. TIP: Buy your actual size in the “oversize” fit otherwise you will be swimming in it. Keep it simple with a white tank underneath. Make a statement with your accessories like this punchy orange crossbody bag that can be worn on the waist as well, and elegant white sneakers with bold colour details to elevate your look.

Long Denim Shorts
Denim on denim can be done in a fresh fashion-forward way! We love these medium-wash long denim shorts because they can be rolled to a length of your choice for so many styling options. Pair it with an oversized white denim jacket as a perfect lightweight layering piece that gives the look a polished and structured vibe, without compromising comfort. Keep it simple with your accessories, like these on-trend chunky lug sole sandals and a summer fedora to protect you from the sun.
