Hi Sweet Ladies...I hope that this video gave you some new ideas for styling your shorts this summer. For even more HOT weather summer outfit ideas, be sure to watch this video next: ua-cam.com/video/G6znvyLYrbs/v-deo.html. Don't forget to share your holy grail shorts find in the comments below 👇 Stay cool out there! xo ☀🌡🌞
That squeaky voice at the start was so funny. Honestly I've bad knees on a physiology level but walking 4000 steps minimum a day in winter with some toning classes half hour twice a week pain stays away and I look toned etc
❤❤❤❤ nobody makes us understand like you!
U have helped me so much and I get compliments at 74!
Everyone needs to see this video.
I'm 42 and I have never felt confident in shorts, not even as a teenager or young adult. I just followed your instructions exactly and I found shorts that make me feel confident, I am in awe. Thank you Erin, I now own shorts that make me look and feel amazing. x
I am honored by your words!! SO glad that this video was helpful for you and gave you the courage to try on shorts again!! Thank you for sharing that with me, and thank you for being here in this amazing community of women. xo
As long as summer exists, I’m wearing shorts forever.
Agreed! I'm in a cooler climate now, but when it's hot...I'm going to my favorite shorts! Thanks for watching! xo
I totally agree! I'm 64 and still wear jean cut-offs!! Yeah my legs are old n crepe but idc. I earned these legs lol
Absolutely! I agree 💯 percent because I live in the west TX desert 🏜! It’s hot 🥵 almost year-round here! We don’t really know what spring, fall, & winter seasons are! Hahahaha 🤣
@@BusbeeStyle dear Erin, your lipstick looks fantastic on you. Could you please share what is shade of it?
Same here😅👋🏽
I live in South Florida. I'm 56 years old. I wear shorts and I always will. :)
Love it! You've got this figured out...Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed some of these tips. xo
63 years old…wearing my shorts to Art Class here in Austin, TX. I don’t care what others think. It’s too dang hot! 😅
Yes!!
I feel hot even thinking about it, Donna! Thanks for watching, enjoy your art class! xo
Hi Erin, thanks for another great video. May I add a couple of things, please? I live in Texas and we all know it gets hot enough for strategic shade parking. I've found that cotton and linen shorts work the best. They're breathable, they drape beautifully and you can hide any little tummy fluff, because there is no stretch to the fabric. Another tip is one for going out in the evening. A beautifully cut pair of linen pants with a drawstring waist can look elegant if you pair them with a sharp blazer in silk or linen with a cami underneath. I accesorize with a couple of bracelets and chandelier earrings that draw your eye up. You look long, lean and chic.
Great tips, Kate! Thanks so much for your comment, and thank you for watching! xo
At forty I was rocking shorts! Now at over 70 the issues REALLY start! Creepy skin, chubby knees, varicose veins - you get them all! So Bermudas are about as short as I want to go! I really prefer skorts and shorter skirts!
I totally get it, Linda. It's so important to wear what you feel your most confident in! There's a great list of bermuda shorts in the video's description box because I knew I'd have some ladies searching for just that! Happy to share as much as I can with you to help make style simple! xo
@@BusbeeStyle It would be great if you did one on casual skirts and tops.
I would love to see an entire video devoted to linen for the hottest days of summer. I feel like linen is cheaper, but elevated and keeps you cool through the summer months (especially here in Texas)!
Love linen too! Have a couple of long pants ( black, dimed pink and white) and some tailored shorts (dark brown) and they are soo comfy, cool and nice to wear when it’s hot, even here in Sweden! Bye from 🇸🇪
Great suggestion! Linen is a great option for summer! Personally though, I go more for cotton because I don't like fighting the wrinkles in linen! Did you see last week's video? All about what to look for and tips for dressing chic in the heat of summer! Here's a link if you missed it...ua-cam.com/video/G6znvyLYrbs/v-deo.html Thanks for watching! xo
@@BusbeeStyle loved it! 🥰
Especially how to take care of it.
I'm way older than 40 😂 but I could see this working with just above the knee shorts . I'm 5'8" so I could carry that off. Helps to cover those less than great looking thigh skin. Thanks for these suggestions. I live in Florida so I won't be using the jacket but I LOVE the suggestion of light weight blouses . I wear a lot of casual skirts in the summer also. God bless everybody🤟💜
Love it, Ann! Thanks SO much for watching. xo
Same here, I always wear shorts just to the knee or slightly over with a wonderful light material blouse with 3/4 or longer sleeves. I am 5’10”. I am way over 60!
Yay! Godbless her for givin us some simple ideas for real life 😊I get most of my wardrobe from resale/thrift, but this vid still helps.
Thank you so much for these tips! I am in my 50s and I always worry about too much skin showing especially with shorts. You’re so right about high rise and the looser fit. 👍🏻
Thank you Erin,
I never had a a mother or girlfriend tell me why it fits or what I'm looking for in any of my clothes. I deeply appreciate your video today telling me "This is what you want in a pair of shorts" and "This is how to style them."
I wish you the best ALWAYS
Gratefully,
Your friend,
Ginger
I am honored to be able to help you with styling advice, Ginger! SO glad you are here, and enjoying my videos! Thank you for your comment. xo
Love this Erin! Thanks so much for the tips!💕🌸. And I love the red shorts suit sooo much!
I just started watching your video & can I say, thank you for your positivity! 👏 we all have those voices in our heads about what we should or can wear based on our age. Putting a positive spin on it makes for such a refreshing change. Thank you so very much 👍🥰💝
Welcome, Michele! I'm so glad you are here and enjoying my videos! Thanks so much for your sweet comment. xo
This red outfit looks stunning on you.
Thank you SO much, Tanja! Thanks for watching. xo
You have such a keen eye for all things fashion and process such a wealth of knowledge that’s it’s almost hard to believe ! Every video is so beautifully presented with such genuine warmth and unparalleled tips and guidance for looking our best no matter our stage of life . I’m also so enjoying the background setting of your beautiful new home ! Another GREAT video Erin ! Bravo 👏👏👏👏♥️Pam
You are so sweet, Pamela! Thank you SO much for this amazing comment and for your support. Truly means so much to me...Glad you enjoyed this one! xo
Very well said!! 😊
Awesome video! Loved the suggestion to level up t-shirts!
Useful tips, thank you Erin 🙂
Thank you Erin! XX
Erin, great tips! Shorts really are tricky and wonderful. Thanks for help getting them right. Still wanting a good fit, I too have started alternating sizes for a looser look. Enjoy the day!
Thanks SO much for watching, Donna! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Enjoy your day as well. xo
Excellent advice- thank you.
I love your style Erin. Thanks for all the tips. I live in shorts in summer because I'm not confident in skirts and can't stand chafing. I'd love to see you do a video with a larger woman and affordable fashion. Your clothes and the brands your recommend are amazing but not everyone can afford $250 for a shirt, no matter how flattering it is.
If you love your own legs, wear what you want sis! My legs are short and the longer lengths make me feel like a park ranger, but snaps to any over 40 rocking these styles. ✨
Exactly I would never wear a Bermuda until I’m 80.
Park Ranger shorts 🤣🤣
Thanks SO much for watching, Tracy! Shorter lengths are often easier for petites, or those with shorter legs. Hope you found these tips helpful today! xo
@@BusbeeStyle I enjoy every video. ♥️ I am short and stacked, so shorter shorts are not the solution for my, um, personal comfort level (aka cellulite).
Ha ha ha park ranger! Same I go for shorter shorts, it looks way better.
🤗 Great Guidelines Erin 💛
I LOVE SHORTS IN THE SUMMER. I am turning 60 in a couple months, but still love the way I look in my shorts. Have always tried to keep my legs toned, and you are right about skin laxity in our knees when we age, but keeping myself toned makes them not look so bad with shorts on, and yeah, I do love a wider leg short as well! Thanks for all your tips for ALL of our summer wear ideas! ❤️👍🏻
Love it! You're rocking those shorts, Aida! Thank you so much for watching! xo
Love, love, LOVE!
NO ONE does this!!!
I’m almost 40 & NEED these tips cuz I love shorts!! Thanks Erin!! 🤗😘
SO glad you found this one helpful, Sarah! Thanks for watching! xo
Hi Erin, LOVED this one so much! I just doubled up on my Soft Surroundings "Pali" bermuda shorts in tan and navy. They fit like a dream and hit above my almost 60 year old knees, which, for my leg shape, makes my leg look leaner since they don't hit at the widest part of my lower leg (my chunky baby knees). I did size up and what a difference it made. Central Florida humidity and heat in summer is no joke and these shorts will get me through the whole tropical nightmare season looking chic and feeling cool and put together. xox
Love it! Thanks for sharing, Julia! SO glad you enjoyed these tips. xo
Thank you Busbee!!!🌹
Excellent tips, as always. Thank you, Erin!
You are so welcome, Rebecca! SO glad this was helpful! xo
‘I’ve been watching your UA-cam videos from the beginning of the Covid . You are getting more beautiful, more put together everyday! Thank you for your inspiration! Your hair looks fabulous!
Thanks so much, Irene! So glad to hear you're enjoying my videos! xo
Hi Miss Erin, love the tips! I use sunglasses to distract from any faults. I also think the shoe choice is so important....I love finding footwear that has a "jewelry for your feet" look to them.
Love it! Good shoes can make a great outfit all the better! Thanks for watching, Laurie! xo
thank you for providing more options on lengths and where to find a-line shorts. so helpful!!!
You're so welcome! SO glad you found this one helpful, Robin! xo
Being from a L.A. suburb and 67 years old I feel this video is right on. Everything from fit to to suggested tops is makes complete sense. Well done.
So glad you found this one helpful, Cathy! Thanks for watching. xo
I found a pair of BANANA REPUBLIC white cuffed shorts with the wider leg and it looks so great with a dressy blouse and dressy sandals! And the best thing about those white shorts is that they are lined and they are cotton!!
Love it! It feels so good to find the perfect, white shorts!! xo
love the tips, thank you Erin ❤️
You're so welcome! Glad you found this video helpful, Janice! xo
Thank you! Nice tips as always! 💕 I just got the green dress that you were showing the other day. I’m in love with that midi dress.
Love that one! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Great video!!! I haven't worn shorts in years because I don't like my legs, but now, I may try to find a pair. Thank you!!!❤️ 🩳
Amazing information. I always wear shorts in Spring/Summer, since I live in TX. I really like the jacket with matching shorts.
Finally after not wearing shorts for decades a family trip to Maui converted me at 74 to enjoy them again. Going for the 7-11 inch and wearing and loving my 5 new Rails shirts in white, pink, light blue, navy and lavender!
Love it! This life is too short to avoid wearing the things we love! You're all set for summer, Marta! xo
Love your red outfit Erin, perfect match with lipstick. Awesome tips. Thanks heaps for sharing 🤗
Thanks SO much, Tricia! Glad you found this one helpful!! xo
Love your tips and i incorporate several of them now, but I did pick up a few nuggets. Thank you for sharing.
Glad this one was helpful! Thanks for watching! xo
Love a short and blazer set 🙌
Love this video! Thanks so much!
Yay! SO glad you enjoyed this one, Jill! Thanks for watching! xo
Thank you so much! I broke down and bought a pair of Mousy Vintage jeans a few weeks ago, and they are amazing. Just bought the Rails blouse because it looks fantastic on you and I don't own a gauze blouse. Can't wait to get it! Thank you again, your videos are wonderful and very helpful.
You will love it! I could wear that top every day.....Thanks for watching, Julie! xo
Thanks for all of the great tips and just when they are needed! My shorts drawer is pretty sad and needs some updating. Wearing shorts a little big, ❤ that tip
Love your videos!! I would like to see a color analysis & suggestions video, thank you for all the great tips ♥️
Thanks for the suggestion, Diana...and thanks so much for watching! xo
Another great tips video and much needed! You look fabulous in that gorgeous red suit. I love the red lipstick too. I need a short suit asap, so chic! Shorts are a must here in Florida. I love the tip of wearing a blouse with very casual shorts to elevate the look.
You're so sweet, Tracy! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching! xo
😁👌🏻❤️ Great tips, Erin! I’ve been following them for the past couple of years ever since I hit my 40’s , lol 😆 Love watching your channel. 💕🌺
SO glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching! xo
@@BusbeeStyle 😁👌🏻🌺
Hi Erin and all of you ladies! 💗
Have been struggeling with the shorts the last 15 years! I’m 5’10 and quite slim but the spidervains and strawberry skin on my legs makes me quite unsecure wearing shorts outside our garden… This last month I started to use tanning lotion from a well renouned Swedish brand (ACO) and I am soo happy with the result! I have tanned legs AND my skin look soo much better! 🦵🏽I’ll go for ”all” my shorts (that still fit) now! 🥰
Bye from 🇸🇪
Thanks for sharing, Annika! Such a great, simple way to add confidence to your style! xo
Every time I put on shorts, I always end up wearing a skort instead. It’s glides over problem areas and the back view in particular is so much smoother. Air circulates around much better for me in a skort. (I live in South FL so this is important!) I have them in short lengths for sports and a little bit longer for errands. Can be dressed up or down with sandals/sneakers.
Thanks for sharing, Susan! Another GREAT summer staple! xo
I like skorts too. Wearing one today. There are some cute ones out there.
Erin , you look gorgeous! (as always)
Great tips !
Breathable fabrics can apply to shorts too! Linen, a-line shorts are my favorite in the summer. White and olive ones are super chic and pair well with lots of basic summer staples.
SO true! Thanks for watching, Mandy! xo
Great points. Thanks for content that helps us remain cool and stylish. ❤️
I'm SO glad you enjoyed this one! xo
Love your videos!
Thanks SO much, Sue! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! xo
Very helpful!
🤣 that first one minute was hilarious, erin. Yep we all can resonate with these, esp in Singapore summer is all year round☺️ !Thank u for lifting our pressures n guiding us to look good at this age😘 Btw u look beautiful with that red suit. And that lipstick color is insanely gorgeous on you😍🌹
Haha! Thanks for laughing with me...I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. Thanks so much for your sweet words, Aida! xo
Hi Erin 💐💐💐 You always suggest very upgrated outfits, whatever the subject is❤️❤️❤️.
I have to say that I don't wear shorts, only in home, even though I am thin, I work out daily, I'm 43 (but people who don't know me they think I am 28-30🤣🤣🤣🤣) but I don't dare to wear shorts outside... Despite this, I found that high waisted shorts are my favourites!!! I wear them in summer vacations only, not in the city I live... Kisses from Greece 💙🧡💛💚💜
Thank you SO much for your support, Paulina! It sounds like you've found some great alternatives, and you still know how to wear chic shorts when you're traveling...love it! Thanks for your comment! xo
Thank you, Erin for this lovely little video dedicated to shorts! I have always loved them and wear shorts through the cooler Autumn and early Winter months with tights and/or over-the-knee or thigh-high boots. When paired with a beautiful blouse or a blazer and as part of a short set, the aesthetic is incredibly chic and modern. As I get older, I love the more dressier options with a flared, wide-leg style that look like beautiful mini skirts. They are quite expensive, but my go-to's are Zimmermann shorts, who make some of the most gorgeous pieces in the shorts department! Many Zimmy pieces are in linen, so they do wrinkle... I just steam them before I wear them and as they wrinkle throughout a wearing, I just take it as is 😂. Rompers and playsuits in beautiful fabrics and elevated cuts also are wonderful options! They offer the one-and-done stress-free dressing and look like a full mini dress. Again, Zimmermann creates such gorgeous playsuits in cottons, linens, and silks and I reach for them often up until late October to early November depending on the fabric. As a very petite woman and on the slim side, I love pairing high heels with shorts, so long as the overall aesthetic is classy, sexy, and chic; not gaudy and giving off that "trying too hard" vibe. You look beautiful in your red short suit; so classy and vibrant... a wonderful aesthetic for you! Thank you for staying genuine, classy, sexy, and modern!! ❤
Thanks so much for watching, Susan! It sounds like you've found some lovely shorts for YOU! Thanks for your comment...So glad you enjoyed this one! xo
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, Ana! xo
Thank you verrry much, Erin. It is summer year-round where I live lol!!
I'm so glad I could help, Michelle! Thanks for watching! xo
Erin you did it again this is so professionally informative
Thanks so much, Amy! SO glad you enjoyed this one! xo
Erin I have been loving the Bermuda shorts from H&M. They are tailored and lined. Elevated shorts for sure. My problem is that after losing over 100 lbs over 2 yrs ago I have very crepey, hanging skin on the inside of my thighs😏So…it’s only bermudas for me when in public. I so want to wear Jean cut offs, but until I can afford lipo, it’s a no for me sadly🥲thanks so much for all these insights!
For the first time in many years, I am wearing shorts at age 41 that actually look good! My hubby thanks you!
Love that!! Thanks for sharing, Sarah! xo
LOVE it!! 💜👑💯🌞
Shorts & blazers are super sharp together. If too hot, I wear a loose-fitting collared button down w sleeves rolled up & tied together @ waist for added visual interest & structure.
I'm loving the shorts and blazer look...that's a great suggestion too! Thanks SO much for watching! xo
love the video! congratulations
Thank you SO much, Silvia! xo
love it! I use shorts all the time!
I also think good bermuda shorts made of higher end material is great for us older gals. I love wearing them with a slightly tighter top or a crop blazer!
Great video as always Erin. I would love to see how to elevate everyday wear. I love your hot pink/red suit set!!
SO glad you enjoyed this one, Brenda! Thank you for watching! xo
Hi Erin I am back to getting your notifications!! Yay love Australia...
Yay! Lena, I'm SO glad you're here and enjoying my videos! Thanks for watching. xo
love this video, as I am a big fan of nice elevated shorts in hot humid northeast summers... of course you look fabulous in everything! I run and have just started to work out on Total Gym ( an anniversary gift) so I am getting my legs in shape, though they are in pretty good shape already ... thanks for the style tips, I now find myself looking for the little elevated details in even the most simple of items :)
Love that SO much, Carolyn! The elevated details can make such a difference. Thanks for your comment! xo
Thank You. I Usually Just Cut Off A Pair Of My Old Jeans To The Length I Like Add A Belt And Keep It Moving .❤
Great tip! xo
Love your style, your videos..👍
You are so full of great info!! By the way my store’s for shorts are Walmart,target,goodwill ,style oncore, a lot of times you can get the shorts you talk about cheap at thrift stores! Always better to repurpose ! ❤️
Thanks so much for watching, Donna! I'm so glad you're able to apply my tips to your specific budget...love it!! xo
My favorite brand of shorts is Cartonnier by Anthropology. The quality is outstanding!
Thanks for sharing one of your faves, Stella! xo
Love the tips! I'm still trying to find a Short suit set that is flattering to my square boxy physique
Ok! Just received Twill Belted Shorts from Abercrombie, $60. They are so nice and lightweight. Zip and button closure but concealed elastic on the rear waistband. Comfortable and flattering. Full leg with pleats. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a lower price point.
Thanks for sharing! xo
Thanks for helping to cement the path I’m already on. I’m really going to try to always wear sleeves with shorts, and long pants with tanks. Tanks with shorts doesn’t suit me anymore. Maybe an occasional cheat on the beach, but not around town.
I'm so glad you found these tips helpful, Carol! You're going to look so chic this summer! xo
Great ideas...I just bought some awesome SUPER comfortable denim shorts for casual...bermudas actually..raw hem that can be folded up 3 ways...you gave me the idea to pair them with a jean jacket..but not the ordinary kind...never would have thought of doing that till I watched this video..looks fabulous...!!!!!
Love that! So glad you found this helpful, Denise! xo
Oh I did...I have so many jackets that look good with the shorts..lol
I just overall wanted to say thank you for your channel! I'm 45, hourglass and petite, with a little extra puddin' lol. I have been watching your videos for a long time and love your tips! I was watching your hourglass videos recently (would really love more of those, please!), and it really helped me carve out my wardrobe. It is so easy to feel like you want to cover everything, but as an hourglass it always turns out to be a tent look, lol. On top of that, when you do want to look nice, it is next to impossible to find anything that fits right. Anyway, I had a win and it is totally because your videos have helped me to feel so much more comfortable in the skin I am in NOW and I'm more in the mindset now of celebrating my curves in whatever shape they are currently in. I went to a party and I ROCKED some highwaist jeans, tank, and wedge booties and even a rosy red lip for the 1st time ever. It has been a long time since I've shown any curves so I was a little apprehensive at first, but my husband LOVED it, and when I got to the party I was the ONLY woman there NOT wearing a tent, haha! It's the first time I've felt so great, but also RECOGNIZED what all the other women were doing--hiding! Well, I'm not hiding anymore, thanks to you! I was so comfortable I completely forgot about what I was wearing at all and it's the first time I haven't obsessed over every little flaw that could be showing. Thank you so much for being so encouraging and giving us real life solutions that work for our fabulous forties and beyond, and also helping us to accept ourselves as we are in this moment. You are a beautiful person, inside and out, and a bright light on this platform. Thank you so so so so so much!!!!! xoxoxoxo (ps please please please make some more hourglass videos!)
Great idea, Angela! Thanks so much for your comment. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job of embracing your body shape and finding silhouettes that flatter you the best! Love it! xo
Dressy shorts outfits are my Summer Go To!! I'm 5'9" all Legs, and live in Texas, I would be crazy not to wear shorts. I almost always wear a long sleeve top, bunny tie front, or even a blazer, although it's hot outside, every place you go, over uses the AC. I actually have 3 pairs of the Spanx Shorts, and LOVE them, I like that they offer the longer length, since my legs are so long, I order the 6", they look like the 4" on other women. Great info, loved the content, and how you've styled your shorts! Shorts can definitely be dressy, a small heel and you've just taken your look up 10 notches!!
Thanks for watching and sharing your own tips, Lisa! You're so right about the AC in Texas...burning hot outside to freezing cold the minute you step inside! Makes it a bit harder to dress...
HI BEAUTIFUL Erin...As long as it it hot and humid I will wear shorts. I have to say most of the time I am home on five acres and not sure my neighbors care what I wear and lately if I am running out to grocery shop I leave them on. guess I am at the age where I should wear Bermuda shorts but I think on me it is a dowdy look that makes me not feel confident and makes my legs look shorter . Being 5'2" most shorter shorts are not too short for me. Target ( which is not a store I usually find clothes that I like ) has denim shorts ... Wild Fable brand with a raw hem, but not too short and a good dupe for the Agolde shorts everyone loves. Great job Erin. I am envious of your travels. ♡♡♡
Thanks for sharing, Rita! I'm sure you are rocking your shorts!! Thank you for watching. xo
I have a longer torso, so I need a higher rise. I found ones at Pac Sun! The rise was almost 12" and with 90s fashion back, I found a looser fit and a longer rise. Old Navy too, their slouch fit are so comfy!
Love it, Megan! Thanks for sharing! xo
Thank you so much dear pretty video take care much
I love longer inseam (7-8 in) shorts, so that i can use one turn-up; somehow a turn-up looks better, in a casual look. I wear with Gaimo espadrille platform sneaks for days out walking or wedges for anything else. Unless my hair is up, i wear small jewellery everywhere but the wrist, which rocks a Summery arm party around my bling watch. Sunnies are a must.
Peplum frilly tops with nipped in waists look great with denim / casual shorts x
Love it! Great tips! xo
Hi Erin! Thank you for another great video👏🏻 I was going to ask if you can do a video on chic and stylish travel outfits 💖 greeting
Great idea! Here's a whole playlist I've got on travel outfits: ua-cam.com/play/PL6xMaBj8Zyg_ppnqdiQJ--Wuh4nnqtY9r.html
And a video specifically on what I wore during our cross country travels last year: ua-cam.com/video/dNjPgQakNFA/v-deo.html
Hope this helps! xo
Love the J crew shorts, and pats as well the Banana Republic trends, since My first profesional tops and bottoms, they helped me in My 20 to 25 that I started with profesional jobs, and those brand names, sabe My carrer days. Love your style advises 👍👌
Thanks so much for watching. I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! xo
You look great in shorts, Erin!
Hello, I heard about you channel from Alicia Marie, so I decided to pay a visit. Your channel is very interesting, I am 64 and I thought I couldn't wear shorts anymore, even though I would see some of the most gorgeous shorts in the stores and I want to buy them but I wouldn't. But now that I have seen this video I am going to give it a shot and mix and match correctly and look at everything that you have mentioned here. When I purchase the whole outfit I will definitely let you know how it feels and look and I may even post a picture on my Instagram page as well. That's so much for this valuable information.❤
I'm so glad you're here and enjoying my videos and tips, Patsy!! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Your new outfit sounds fabulous! xo
All great points! Curious on your Cinq À Sept blazer sizing recommendation?
I also have that Rails shirt, so classic and a great investment
Love it! One of my favorite blazers and I've got it in a few colors...I have a size 4, which is my regular size! Hope this helps! xo
I am 5'2" with toothpick legs so I do shorts on the tighter side. But I always balance with a nice looser blouse and blazer for nights out. I have good legs but kneekles so I use a bit of the Sally Hansen leg stuff. I then put highlighter on my shin. Try it. Looks amazing. Love that bright short suit on you!
Thanks for sharing your own tips, Jayne! And thanks so much for watching! xo
I don't love the way shorts look on me so I opt for skirts. They're just as comfy.
That's a lovely alternative! Thanks for watching, Laura! xo
I think more comfy
Wow ! You look really gorgeous 🥰 i just realized you are wearing a mid drift shirt lol it looks awesome and imma wear one too lol 😜
Go for it, Janice! You'll rock it! Thanks for watching. xo
Hello Erin and team. Love these tips. I am 57 and still wear shorts always trying to wear the ones according to my age. And know what? I still love my legs :D
Love it, Lily!! Keep rocking those shorts. xo
Great tips to wear shorts in style at any age! Basically it's all about finding a good balance and feeling comfortable in your own skin... and shorts! 😉 By the way, you do look amazing in yours, Erin! Suits look really smart while loose blouses are a great casual alternative to Cindy C.'s iconic image of the 90's. 🤟❤
Thank you SO much. xo
My favorites shorts are Agolde dee shorts and the Parker’s long length, Levi’s Bermuda shorts and Aritzia the babaton pleated 5’’ shorts ❤️
Love it! Thanks for sharing your faves, Rossana! xo
I personally have been every size under the sun from 6-22 (I'm at a sz 12, a good size for my stature). Just last year I bought my first pair of shorts IN YEARS. They are a bermuda length and fit close to my body, not tight, they are black cotton slightly shiny poplin and look GREAT! I bought two pair, same color, same size, cause we all know black fades in the wash so we gotta have a back up. Thanks for your vid, gonna pull em out and wear them tomorrow with a linen button down.
Love it! I'm so glad this video was helpful and has inspired you to try something new, from your own closet! Thanks for watching. xo
Thanks for this, Erin. I'm getting more comfortable wearing shorts again. This helps a lot. Banana Republic has a good selection of shorts.
Love it! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for the tip. xo
I can't get over how amazing you look in that red suit! Just stunning😍
