The Best Way To Style White Shorts For Summer

A Feminine Summer Look in Flutter Sleeves and Denim Shorts

This first look feels casual but pulled together; perfect for lunch with a friend, running errands, or relaxing on the patio. The soft flutter sleeve blouse adds a feminine touch, while the white denim shorts create a clean, bright base. The neutral accessories keep the palette soft and summery, and my feet are loving the comfort of these classic Birkenstocks.

Flutter Short Sleeve V-Neck Blouse

This floral blouse has a lovely airy feel that’s perfect for hot days. The flutter sleeves are great for adding a little arm coverage without clinging, and the v-neckline is modest but still elongates the neck. I love that it’s fully lined, so you don’t have to worry about it being see-through. It feels polished but easy, and that’s exactly how I want to feel in the summer.

White Shorts and Birkenstock Arizona Rivets Sandals

These white Jean Shorts hit that sweet spot between comfort and modesty. The 7-inch inseam gives enough coverage to feel confident, especially when sitting, and they have just enough stretch to move with you throughout the day. I find that they hold their shape well, and the mid-rise waist sits comfortably without cutting in.

I’ve had Birkenstocks in rotation for years, and this pair with subtle rivet detailing adds just a little something special. They’re easy to slide on and off, offer great arch support, and honestly, they mold to your feet in the best way over time.

Soft Woven Tote

This Woven Tote Bag has that handmade, beachy vibe I adore in the summer. It’s roomy enough to toss in a book, sunglasses, or even a light sweater if you’re heading out for the day. The neutral tone makes it a great match for almost every summer outfit.

The Best Way To Style White Shorts For Summer? Start With a Flattering Fit

One of the best ways to style white shorts for summer is to keep your look balanced, pairing structured pieces like button-front vests with casual sandals or sneakers adds polish without feeling fussy. This outfit is a nod to sporty-chic. It feels just right for a day of sightseeing or hitting up a weekend market. The sweater vest adds some structure, while the sneakers and crossbody keep it grounded and ready for anything.

Button Front Sweater Vest

A sweater vest may not be the first thing that comes to mind for summer, but this one is a standout. It’s soft and breathable, and the button-front detail gives it a little something extra. I love wearing it alone like this or layered over a sleeveless blouse when I want more coverage.

Jean Shorts and Sneakers

Repeating these Jean Shorts because they’re just that good! I’ve worn and washed them multiple times now, and they still look great. They’re one of those basics you’ll keep reaching for.

These Keds sneakers are so versatile. They’re comfortable for walking and travel days, and the neutral canvas goes with everything. I’ve worn them with dresses, too!

Pebble Leather Crossbody Bag

This Leather Crossbody Bag is one of my everyday staples. The leather is soft but durable, and it’s the perfect size for holding all the essentials without weighing me down. I love having my hands free when I’m out and about.

Classic Black and White with Walking Shorts

Black and white is always in style, and this combination is a great base for casual weekend outfits for women over 50 that feel timeless. This classic black and white outfit looks like I’m heading to watch a tennis match or have brunch at the country club. It is elevated simply because of the classic color combination.

V Neck Cable Knitted Pullover

This Cable Knitted Pullover is cozy without being heavy, and the cable knit gives it a timeless charm. The v-neck makes it great for layering a necklace, and the fit is relaxed without feeling boxy.

Walking Shorts and Slim Boat Shoes

If you prefer a little more coverage in your shorts, these Walking Shorts are perfect. They have a slightly more tailored look, and the fabric has a nice drape that doesn’t cling. They’re easy to dress up or down, depending on the top and shoes.

These shoes are a classic! They’re great for days when you’ll be walking a lot but still want something a little more polished than a sneaker. The slim design keeps them feeling modern and neat.

Stripes for a Casual Day Out

This final outfit is one I’d wear for a casual day at home, lunch with the girls, or a relaxed weekend outing. It’s bright and cheerful without trying too hard, and that coral tee really brings it to life.

Heritage Perfect Tee

This striped tee lives up to its name; it’s a great staple. The fabric has a smooth, almost polished finish, and the color just makes me happy. It fits true to size and washes beautifully.

I tucked the striped tee into the same shorts as before. They hold their shape, don’t wrinkle easily, and feel like they’ll last for several seasons.

Champion Leather Luxe Lace-Up

These sneakers are such a smart choice for summer. The leather makes them look a bit more refined than your average lace-up, and they’re easy to keep clean. If you like the idea of a dressier sneaker, these are worth trying.

I hope these outfits gave you a few ideas for the best way to style white shorts for summer, whether you’re keeping it casual or adding a pop of polish. From jean shorts to polished walking styles, there’s something here for every body type and comfort level.
