Cleveland Fashion Ideas on How to wear Shorts in Spring

Streetfashionista Ambassador Renate @ the 'Q' 
making the shorts-and-tights trend super fancy,
 with Cleveland Cavaliers wine colored tights
 and sequined sweater vest, warm poncho,
newsboy hat and boots. 

For obvious reasons, shorts are traditionally a fashion statement for warmer weather, but here on the North Coast in Cleveland, where a prolonged chilly winter gives way to a late Summer, shorts in Spring can become a necessary fashion item for women who want Winter to end.  

Unlike the Bavarian Lady's who wear short Lederhosen all year round, most Women in Cleveland put away their shorts before the cold fall and winter days, opting for jeans, pants, and tights instead until the hot summer sun prompts us to bring them back out. Except…we don’t really have to do that, because it’s totally possible to wear shorts in the Spring and make them look amazing. And warm, because that is clearly the most important thing on a sunny but cold day in Cleveland.

I’ve seen a lot of people pull off the shorts-and-tights (strumphosen) trend with ease, managing to look put-together and effortlessly styled at the same time. I have tried this myself and I kind of feel like it can be pulled off by anyone who is scared by the idea. But these outfit ideas below might change your mind. From distressed blue denim shorts worn with dainty heels to more formal shorts paired with cardigans, these looks are unexpected, fun, and refreshingly unique during a pre-summer season when it sometimes feel like we’re all too bundled up. 

Here are some fashion ideas on how to wear shorts in spring that will inspire you to take yours out of the drawer before July 4th!

Heels and booties look good with shorts, but you can go with
white sneakers, which make a good contrast! Tight denim
shorts look very trendy with black motorcycle jacket and
white sneakers, wear a warm sweater,
and you’re good to go.

especially when you add layers on top.
