Outfits with Floral Shorts: The mere thought of dressing up in summertime makes me sweat, and having to wear fancy, heavy fabrics has me completely drenched in sweat. Gladly, we do not need to worry because floral prints have been the rage among women for some time now. Thus, this is the main reason why there is a plethora of floral shorts available in the market in all sorts of colors and designs.
Be it simple vintage-inspired shorts or black and white or conspicuous colors; they are every girl’s obsession these days. An extraordinary way to elevate simple dresses or tops is by pairing them with floral shorts. Floral shorts are versatile and worn all year round. The main reason behind their popularity is the infinite ease and elegance they bring with their wear. Therefore, it is no surprise that women opt for this elevated version over traditional denim shorts. And the best part is, there are so many ways to style them!
What to Wear with Floral Shorts?
It all comes down to your comfort and a whole lot of trial and error to find what suits you best. However, there are a few classic looks that can not go wrong. Pair your shorts with a white button-down or a bright solid crop top. And throw on an oversized cardigan or denim jacket on top. Furthermore, you can wear them over tights with a blazer or long coat to look fabulous in winter. And lastly, do not forget to accessorize and choose the perfect pair of shoes to match your outfit!
Tips on Styling Floral Shorts:
- Solid tops or blouses in pastel tones pair best with printed shorts.
- Print on print can be very trendy. However, avoid mixing prints (unless you know what you are doing) if the patterns are not complementary.
- You will find ankle boots and chunky white sneakers to be your comfort shoes with floral shorts.
- Experiment with different hairstyles such as ponytails, messy buns, and half-up, half-down looks.
- Match your lip color to the bright shades in the floral pattern of your bottoms.
- Reach for matching sets if you feel like you might not be able to style this clothing item to your best.
- Never compromise on jewelry and accessories.
Below are 40 different styles to choose your outfit and get inspired. You can also get ideas about what shoes, accessories, and outerwear to opt for a perfect look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How to style printed top with floral shorts to look trendy?
Styling print on print can be tricky, but with these tips, you can put together a phenomenal look seamlessly!
- Choose prints that complement each other. Since the floral pattern of the shorts is dominant, discrete designs will pair well with it, such as polka dots, stripes, plaid, and gingham patterns.
- Pick out the non-repetitive color in the pattern of the shorts, and pair your top according to that color.
- Keep your accessories minimal or monotone.
- A monochrome look is bound to look effortless.
- Opt for plain shoes rather than printed ones for a balanced look.
Q. What tops look best with floral shorts?
For high-waisted ones, flowy blouses and bralette tops look best. You can also pull off oversized shirts tucked in with a belt at the waist. I find the majority of types of tops work well with high and mid-rise shorts. On the other hand, wear loose or fitted crop tops with low-rise jeans to show off your waist. To avoid a muffin top, opt for loose blouses falling below your waistline and slightly longer low-rise shorts for a balanced look.
