1. Dress Them up for Big Events

When most people have a big event coming up, their first instinct is to wear a dress. However, if you’re trying to make the most of your shorts before the summer season ends, try dressing them up. Wear them with a pair of heels, a silky blouse, and fun accessories for a look you can wear to any big event in your life!

2. Wear Structured Shorts to the Office

If you’re really trying to get the most out of your shorts before summer is over, you’re probably trying to figure out ways to wear shorts to work. Obviously you can’t wear shorts with rips and tears to work, but if you have a pair that’s more structured or a patterned pair, wear them to work rather than just on a night out with friends!

3. Add Accessories to Old Outfits

Everyone has those old outfits we always fall back to when we’re just sick of coming up with outfits. If you have a few of those in your arsenal with your shorts and would rather that you never had to wear them again, try wearing them with a few new accessories. Sometimes, it just takes a few accessories to completely change an outfit!

4. Wear Denim

If you can’t get away with wearing denim shorts to work, try wearing denim on top with a pair of patterned shorts instead. Chambray shirts and vests are so in style right now that wearing one with your patterned shorts will instantly make any look, even one you’ve been wearing for years, look more stylish.

5. Go for Cheap but Bright Pieces to Catch Everyone’s Attention

If you’re wearing a pair of shorts that you don’t necessarily love, but want to get a lot of use out of before you have to put them away for a few months, try adding bright colors. You could either wear a bright shirt or bright accessories. The bright colors will catch everyone’s eye and distract from the pair of shorts you want to wear but don’t necessarily love.

6. Try out New Hairstyles

Isn’t it funny just how much a hairstyle can change a look? If you’re sick of one of your old outfits but want to wear your shorts a few more times before summer ends, try out some new hairstyles in your outfit. It could completely change your entire look!

7. Invest in Cheap Shoes

I don’t think that you should always buy cheap shoes (because they can really hurt your feet!) but during this last month of summer, when you know that you probably won’t get much use out of them, buy a few pairs of cheap shoes and wear them with your shorts. New shoes will instantly liven up a look and catch everyone’s attention!
