Boyfriend shorts are a style of shorts for women that fit looser around the waist and leg. They are available in many different materials including jean, cotton, khaki and more. These shorts also come in many different styles, prints and colors. A boyfriend short can also feature lots of pockets and resembles a cargo short. Boyfriend shorts allow for a casual and relaxed look. Simple rules to follow when looking at boyfriend shorts is to not purchase them too big. Although these shorts are to give a baggier look you do not want them to be falling off around your waist. If you need to purchase a larger size to get the overall look, invest in a woven leather belt to help cinch your waist. Also look for shorts that have a bit longer of a leg so that they can be rolled up to create the right casual look. They look great being paired up with a simple t-shirt and flip flops for daytime. For a summer’s night, they can be paired up with cute wedges and a detailed tank top for a more dressy look. Boyfriend shorts come at all different price points, but $50 should buy you a quality pair. There are many great retailers to look at for boyfriend shorts including The Gap and J.Crew.
