Shorts are an essential part of the summer wardrobe, but every season brings its own preferred silhouette. This time, the focus is on long shorts.
TheDiary looks at summer outfits built around long shorts – from more polished combinations for the office to relaxed options that work just as well by the coast.
STYLE: CITY / OFFICE
Long shorts with a blazer are one of the most practical summer combinations. A well-cut pair of shorts, styled with a structured blazer, can easily work for the office, especially when paired with a simple top or T-shirt and minimal accessories. The result is a look that feels appropriate for a working day, but still natural enough for dinner or drinks in the city afterwards.
STYLE: COASTAL SUMMER
If your summer holiday is still ahead and you are planning to spend it somewhere by the sea, this color palette is an ideal choice. Pair long shorts with a simple top, comfortable sneakers or sandals, and minimal summer accessories. The result is a look that feels equally appropriate for the beach and the city.

STYLE: LONG DENIM SHORTS
Long denim shorts are one of the easiest choices for everyday city dressing. A relaxed silhouette can be styled with a minimal top, understated accessories, and colorful sneakers. For a more summery version, sandals or flip-flops are enough – especially for a casual day in the city or a relaxed holiday look.
STYLE: EXPERIMENTAL
Long shorts also leave room for more unexpected styling. Instead of pairing them only with classic summer pieces, try layering them with a lightweight trench, a structured shirt, a belt, or a statement hat. The idea is to play with proportions: the longer length of the shorts gives the look a sharper silhouette, while the added layers make it feel more considered. For anyone who wants a summer outfit that feels less predictable, this is the best place to experiment.
