Street Style: killer shorts and tights

Modification, mixing and matching inspires fashion followers to make some of our fall and summer favorites collide. The perfect concoction and a favorite among some of the best street style fashionistas is the über-cool short shorts with tights pairing.

The short shorts and tights phenomenon is sexy, simple and sweet, the perfect combination for those who like to wear summer pieces year round. With this style, you can mix and match basic light or dark denim shorts, shredded denim or even colored denim with any style of tights, from multi-colored to intricately-designed sheer ones.

Variety works well with this particular style and no matter what you choose it can be complimented with any pair of boots/booties, heels or wedges. On the streets of LA, SF and NYC, most fashionistas are running the gamut in array of short shorts and tights, capturing this trend at its best. Shorts and tights was a huge hit in 2011, and has returned for 2012 because it’s just a simple style that can be dressed up or down.

I predict this trend will replace other trends like leggings under a graphic tee or sweatshirts and pants for all the girls on the go. This style continues to bring forth the fashionista’s ability to display her inner class and style while on the go. Fashion is about making prominent statements without over-thinking and over-doing. The shorts and tights trend helps to eliminate those days where you have no idea what to wear.
