How to Use One Rule of Proportion to Style Any Shorts This Summer
Proportion is one of your most important tools when styling. Having the right proportion means your eye doesn’t get lost on which element in the outfit is most important.
Each piece of your look plays into the other and ultimately creates a bigger picture (the entire outfit), which highlights your personality, body type, and energy.
And there’s one way to make sure you’re always creating the right proportion.
Choose a long piece to go with a short piece or a short piece to go with a long one.
And even if you have two long pieces to start, you can use the styling technique of tucking to make one piece become the shorter one.
In the case of shorts, the length of the short will determine which element should be the long one or the short one.
For a mid-length or long short, you’ll balance the shorts with a front tucked, full tucked, or cropped top. For short shorts, you’ll leave your top untucked or slightly side-tucked to give it a longer length.
