What do Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Ke$ha have in common? They are all Hollywood A listers and were all spotted in American Flag Shorts.
American Flag Shorts offer a classic look that never goes out of style. These patriotic shorts are often stored away and only pulled out for wear on Independence Day. Wearing them so infrequently does a real disservice to what could easily become one of the most fun and versatile pieces in your wardrobe.
Many people are guilty of over thinking and being unsure about when it is appropriate to wear them. The truth is that there are many more occasions when it is appropriate to wear them than occasions when it is not. Below I will tell you exactly when to pull your shorts out and how to make them a year-round staple .
American Flag Shorts: Independence Day
Want an automatic way to show that you love your country? You should wear your shorts. Of course, there is no better way to celebrate the day that America gained its freedom than to wear the American flag on your body. Your patriotic spirit will show without you having to say a word.
American Flag Shorts: Nightlife
This is probably the least obvious but most fun way to wear your shorts. Wear your shorts with a flowing white blouse or light-weight sweater and high heeled sandals in a sparkly or iridescent finish for a chic and sexy look while out on the town. For a more glam look, finish the outfit with lots of shiny bangles or chandelier earrings. In a room full of black mini dresses, you are guaranteed to stand out in the best possible way.
American Flag Shorts: Casual Summer Weekends
The beauty of our nation’s colors is that they are so easy to wear. The combination of red, white and blue compliment all skin tones. Anyone can throw them on with a white t-shirt or tank top for a fresh and youthful summer look. Pack your shorts when you’re not sure what to take for a casual weekend getaway. Women can style the look with either gold or silver thong sandals for a little sparkle while maintaining a classic look.
American Flag Shorts: Fall and Winter
Fall and winter are the perfect times of year to wear your American Flag Shorts. They look very hip and trendy when worn with either solid black tights or solid-colored patterned tights in a shade that compliments red, white or blue. Tights are very popular right now and they are the perfect way to style your shorts in colder months so that you look both cool and warm. A pair of combat boots or chunky-heeled booties can add an extra edginess.
American Flag Shorts: Veterans Day
Other than the Fourth of July, this is one of the best days of the year to wear your shorts. Wearing your shorts on this day makes a powerful statement. It shows everyone that you respect and honor the veterans who have fought to keep your country safe. Some people will even wear other items in coordinating shades of red and blue for a head to toe look.
American Flag Shorts: Family Reunions
There is a reason why family reunion organizers insist on putting everyone in matching shirts: They want all family members attending the reunion to be easily identifiable. Putting the family’s name on a red, white or blue shirt and pairing them with flag shorts would provide very unique pictures and life long memories.
American Flag Shorts: Every Day
Any day that you are not attending a wedding, funeral or work, is the perfect day to wear your American Flag Shorts. They are trendy while being casual and classic while being hip. They are effortless to wear while giving the impression that you put energy into your look. They are in a color scheme that is easily matched without looking like you’re dressed in boring neutrals. They are a true any place, anytime piece of clothing that you will have in your wardrobe for a lifetime.
