A Shorts story
When it comes to wearing shorts, should we let our age or comfort level be your guide? Shorts are often seen as the quintessential symbol of easy breezy youthful exuberance. However, there’s a reason why Grandma doesn’t own a pair of Daisy Dukes. As women get older, let the short seam go lower - as the old saying goes. Perhaps there is some truth to it. But perhaps not? Let’s explore how women of varying ages can elevate the humble short and how to wear the Lauren shorts from mere summer staple to a chic statement piece. 
20s-30s:
Ah, your twenties and thirties. You’re in the summer of your life. Thrilling. Clothes are tinier and all of your clothing often serves as a playground for self-expression. For women in their twenties and thirties, this is a time to embrace bold choices and explore your ever changing identity. Mid to High-waisted shorts paired with a fitted blouse or an Ann crop top create a balanced silhouette that's both playful and polished. Opt for tailored versions in luxe fabrics like silk or crepe to elevate the look beyond the realm of casual wear.
40s-50s:
As women enter their forties and fifties, their approach to shorts shifts from trend-driven to timeless. This is where the art of refinement comes into play. Opt for tailored shorts in classic materials like linen or structured ponte. These choices offer a sophisticated take that is both comfortable and chic.
Pair the Lauren shorts with a blouse or a knit Brigitte sweater in neutral tones for a polished ensemble. The Katharine blazer or a tailored jacket can add an extra layer of refinement. When choosing lengths, knee-length or just above is often the most flattering and versatile, offering a graceful look that enhances rather than overwhelms.
60s and Beyond:
Elegance knows no age, and for women in their sixties and beyond, shorts can still play a part in a refined wardrobe. The key is to choose styles that convey timeless sophistication. Opt for longer, Bermuda-style shorts in high-quality fabrics. These provide a chic, elongating effect that remains comfortable and age-appropriate.
Pair with a well-fitted Donna button-down to maintain a balanced silhouette. Accessories such as a vintage scarf or a structured leather handbag can further enhance the look. Avoid overly trendy designs and focus instead on classic cuts and patterns that reflect a super elegant taste.
