Wearing These Shoes With Long, Baggy Shorts Makes Them 10 Times More Flattering
Shop the trend Ella Hunt is into.
There are a few instances where long, baggy shorts can be a bit tricky to dress up for summer. However, that doesn't deter me from being a fan of the easy, laid-back silhouette. The shape of baggy shorts is perfect for the summer's sweltering heat, as it's quite breathable. That's why I wouldn't give up on my attempts to dress them up. Recently, Ella Hunt found just the shoe trend to make baggy shorts look much more flattering and polished.
While Hunt was out in NYC, she pulled off a fun, color-coordinated outfit worthy of copying: a simple red T-shirt, dark-wash baggy shorts, and a pair of pointed-toe kitten-heel pumps in the same hue as her shirt. Her delicate kitten-heel pumps were the perfect item needed to elevate her casual baggy-shorts outfit. We've seen them with thong-heel sandals and flip-flops, which are quite chic too, but a pair of kitten-heel pumps truly made Hunt's outfit look put-together.
