Paperbag shorts, the most iconic trend of the summer, are the perfect way to show off your legs and look stylish at the same time.

If you’re not sure how to style them yet, don’t worry!

In this blog post we’ll be going through some different outfits that will help you achieve that ~coolest girl~ look.

 

1. Tie front shirt

Tie front shirts are the perfect way to style your paperbag shorts!

A tie front shirt is a shirt with ties at the front. The ties can be tied in a variety of ways, but generally speaking they’re tied in a bow (like regular bows), or just left open.

This means that you can wear them with any pair of pants or shorts. How do you wear them?

This style is super easy to pull off – just throw on some shoes and head out the door!

But if you want an extra special look, try pairing your tie front shirt with some color-blocking sneakers and jeans that match the different colors in your top (this will add even more visual interest).

 

2. Pair with a crop top and a blazer

The first thing to remember is that a paperbag waist is a very distinctive look.

As such, it’s important to balance your outfit by pairing your shorts with other pieces that have similar features.

A crop top is a great option because it has a similar structure as the Paperbag Shorts and can be worn on its own or layered under a blazer.

A blazer is also an excellent choice for this occasion because they come in various lengths and styles.

They are often worn by men but are also commonly seen on women who want to give their look an extra edge of sophistication or playfulness depending on their mood and how they feel about themselves at any given moment (or maybe just because).

You can also wear a blazer over a crop top or other types of shirts.

 

3. Off the shoulder jumper

The off-the-shoulder jumper is a casual, comfy option.

Wear it with a pair of boots or sandals, depending on the weather.

To keep it casual, choose white skinny jeans and a baggy jumper; to make it more formal, opt for black trousers and a blazer.

This piece works well in spring and summer, but also in winter and autumn as well—it’s versatile!

 

4. A long sleeve top

A long sleeve top is a stylish and sophisticated way to style your paperbag shorts. If you want to make the most of this trend, try pairing it with a dark, fitted long sleeve top that has a print or is made of cotton.

  • You might want to avoid tight-fitting tops and instead opt for something that’s not too tight on your arms. This will allow you to show off your new shorts without having to worry about pulling them up every time they get caught on the sleeves of your shirt (or worse yet, dropping them altogether).
  • If you’re looking for inspiration in terms of prints, check out some shirts with leopard prints or floral patterns for an easy way to add some extra flair to your outfit!

 

5. White sneakers

White sneakers are a great choice for the summer season because they’re comfortable, can be worn with anything, and look great.

They’re also classic and timeless.

You can wear white sneakers with paperbag shorts by matching them to your outfit.

If you want to wear something bold, try pairing your white paperbag shorts with yellow sneakers or red sneakers.

If you want something more subtle, match them with neutral colors like blue or black clothes as well as other shades of brown khakis, pants or jeans that have been washed out so often that they have faded away into oblivion!

 

6. High-waisted paper bag shorts outfit with t-shirt and trainers.

This is a great outfit for when you want to be casual and comfy, but still look sophisticated.

The high-waisted paper bag shorts will show off your legs, and the t-shirt will cover up any unflattering parts of your body.

To add a little edge, pair these pieces with some leather sneakers or military boots.

Accessorize with a statement necklace or beanie hat to really make it pop!

 

7. Sweatshirt with paperbag shorts.

You can wear your paperbag shorts with a sweatshirt. A sweatshirt is a great way to style your paperbag shorts because it’s an easy solution for when you aren’t sure what to wear with your outfit.

A sweatshirt is also a great way to keep you warm in the fall and winter months, which is when you’ll probably want to be wearing them most often. Plus, they’re super comfy!

You can add some color or texture into this look by choosing one that has a little bit of pattern on it—or even better yet, make sure the color of your shirt matches the color of your shorts!

You could even go with something completely neutral if that’s more up your alley (or maybe even just throw on an oversized t-shirt).

But whatever option works best for you will depend heavily on whether or not there are any patterns involved as well as what kind of texture will work best based off both fabrics used together (ie: cotton/polyester blend vs 100% cotton).

 

8. Sweater with paperbag shorts.

This one is pretty self-explanatory. A sweater can be worn over paperbag shorts, under paperbag shorts, or over a t-shirt. It’s your choice!

I like to wear my sweaters on top of my paperbag shorts but if you’re feeling extra warm or want to keep your legs covered up then it’s perfectly fine to wear it underneath too.

You can also do both if that floats your boat!

9. Add a coat.

If you’re looking to add some extra warmth and style to your look, coats are the way to go.

You can wear them in a variety of ways, from casual to formal.

If shearling is too pricey for your budget, try going with something like this cozy faux-fur coat instead.

It’s got all the same great qualities—it’s warm and comfortable while still being flattering on any body type!

 

10. Add A Beanie Or Hat

A beanie hat can make your outfit look more casual and also cover up parts of your hair so you don’t have to worry about it.

You can wear a beanie with or without a statement necklace.

Also keep in mind that you have more options when deciding how to style your paperbag shorts.

For example, if you’re wearing a beanie hat with a statement necklace and want to add some extra flair, then perhaps wear one of those hats underneath your beanie so that it looks like two hats at once.

 

11. Add A Statement Necklace

Statement necklaces are a great way to add some style and personality to your paperbag shorts. You can wear them long or short, chunky or thin, made from many different materials. Here are some examples of statement necklaces:

  • A small gold chain with a pendant
  • An oversized necklace made from brightly colored beads
  • A large bib necklace that covers one shoulder

You could also choose not to wear any accessories at all! Whatever you decide will make your outfit look more stylish and on-trend than ever before
