I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve worn shorts since turning 50. One hand! And honestly, I don’t know why. Did a switch get flipped to “off” when I turned 50? Is it a side dish to menopause? Whatever the reason I’m determined to bring shorts day back in a way that fits who I am now, I need comfort, I need movement. I need shorts outfits that give me the same confident strut I get when I wear my favorite pair of straight legged jeans and my worn in soft leather combat boots.
Let’s do some summer reconnaissance window shopping!
My mood board. Thank you Pinterest. :

The great part. All of these shorts can be dressed up or down with a denim shirt, the classic white shirt or your favorite graphic tee. Layer with any long sleeve or light jacket. Sandals or a clean pair of tennis shoes and you’re good to go!
In the end, confidence is key so the right fit will make all the difference. Age should never dictate what we can or can’t wear. I am, YOU are shorts worthy!
