The 5 Chicest Ways to Wear Denim Shorts and Flat Sandals
Shorts and sandals go together like bread and butter. If you've been counting down the days when you can finally swap your jeans for cutoffs and boots for sandals, you've come to the right place. Thanks to celebrities like Emma Roberts, Yara Shahidi, Gigi Hadid, and more, we've uncovered some ridiculously cool and easy to re-create outfits to master the shorts-and-sandals combo.
Shahidi, for instance, was spotted in Cuba at a festival wearing a coveted Chanel graphic tee from Karl Lagerfeld's resort 2016 collection shown, but you certainly don't need a designer version to emulate her look. She paired it with cutoffs, Birkenstocks, and a fanny pack, and we highly suggest you do the same. Meanwhile, Roberts wore a pretty floral blouse with her denim shorts, and Nathalie Emmanuelle teamed hers with a Baywatch-worthy swimsuit. Scroll down to see five ways to wear cutoff shorts and flat sandals.
