Need something stylish, comfortable, yet affordable to freshen up your wardrobe? Consider getting a new pair of shorts. They are the perfect pick for hot summer days at the beach or running errands, but they also work when you want to look chic and put together.

Biker Shorts

Biker shorts were trendy in the 90s, and they are back in a big way this year. But today’s biker shorts are plain and made of non-shiny fabric instead of loud neon prints and pastel swirls. If you are a busy mom, these shorts are just what you need to create a cool athleisure outfit. Moreover, it is easy to make them look good since they balance out oversized tops and shirts. 

Pick mid-length black biker shorts for the best look, and ensure the fabric is not too thin or flimsy. Pair your shorts with an oversized crewneck sweatshirt, some tall socks, and plain white sneakers. For hot days, swap the sweatshirt for a cool graphic t-shirt, ensuring that the shirt is long enough so that the hem of the shorts peeks through. 

You can also wear biker shorts with a cropped hoodie or wear them under a mini-summer dress if you want extra coverage. To dress up your shorts, wear them with a tank top and an oversized black blazer. Finish the look with boots and a sling bag with a chain link strap. 

Denim Shorts

Clothing brand Sanctuary reports that if you are looking for one of the best shorts for women, you need a classic pair of denim shorts. While you can undoubtedly get a distressed pair, shorts in a dark blue wash, with no distressing and a finished, clean hem, are ideal if you are a busy mom who wants to look effortlessly stylish while on the go.   

Pick tailored denim shorts that fall mid-thigh, and add a luxe leather belt with gold hardware to create a sophisticated outfit. For a look that screams “classy mom,” wear your denim shorts with a thin sweater in beige or cream, then accessorize with gold hoop earrings, a few delicate gold bangles, a tan sling bag, and a pair of brown leather mules. It is a look that works for school drop-offs and pickups, but it also looks good for hanging out with friends at a coffee shop or resto-bar. 

Do you not have time to fuss with your outfit? Wear your shorts with an open chambray shirt over a tank top and chunky sneakers. Pull your hair into a ponytail, slip on a fabulous pair of sunglasses, and be ready to go grocery shopping or take the dog out for a walk. 

Bermuda Shorts

Take your style to the next level with a pair of Bermuda shorts. It is an excellent alternative to a skirt, and busy moms can wear it on casual Fridays at work, then head straight to a barbeque party in the neighbor’s backyard. Regular Bermudas have a slim fit from the hips to the hem, but you can also get a pair with a relaxed fit or even Bermudas in a flowy fabric. 

To style slim-fit Bermudas, wear an oversized striped button-down shirt with it, roll up the cuffs, and add a long necklace and some pointed flats. You can also wear a matching blazer with your Bermudas if you want a more appropriate look for the office. Just wear a plain blouse underneath your blazer, and finish the look with shoes with a kitten heel.

Meanwhile, you can wear relaxed-fit Bermudas with a statement blouse or a crop top under a jacket. You can also wear this type of women’s shorts with a slim-fit t-shirt, making sure to tuck it in for a clean look. Add a belt and a pair of heeled loafers to add some interest to your outfit.

Leather Shorts

Wear a fabulous pair of leather shorts to surprise your man for a fun date night look. Instead of going for a provocative or sexy look, think classy and elegant when putting together your date night outfit. Pick relaxed-fit leather shorts in black, deep brown, or forest green, and pair them with a plain blouse in a neutral color, like white, beige, or gray. Accessorize with drop earrings, a pretty clutch, and pointed flats. 

Alternatively, pair your leather shorts with a tank or a blouse with a plunging neckline, and wear a long cardigan over it. Scrunch the sleeves, then accessorize with a watch, bracelets, and a cocktail ring. Finish with a pair of strappy sandals and a small handbag.

With the right pieces and some styling, moms can look good and feel great even on hectic days. Add these trendy women’s shorts to your wardrobe to create cool and classy looks for any occasion!
