Where to Wear Colored Shorts – Places, Occasions and Events
You do not really need an occasion for wearing colored shorts; they can be worn on a daily basis! However, to make it more specific – colored shorts can be worn for any occasion and event that is informal. So, if you are looking at a laid back get together with friends, a movie date, a stroll in the mall or relaxing by the pool – then colored shorts can be your companion for the day.

Colored shorts are also a good option when you are going for a beach holiday. What a better way to celebrate time splashing in the water than wearing vibrant colors. Shorts, as such, will also ensure that your clothes do not get wet, as long as you don’t want them to.
Apart from these, there are various other times when you can flaunt your trendy colored shorts. As long as the occasion or event doesn’t call for formal wear, you can be cool with your colored shorts.
Cool Color Combinations for Wearing Colored Shorts and Tops
Some very interesting color combinations, as far as shorts and tops are concerned, include purple and yellow, blue and white, purple and white, pink and grey, pink and blue, white and red, turquoise and gray, blue and orange and white and black among others. Play mix and match with the colors of the rainbows – go for striking contrasts like yellow and red or for a more subtle, nearly monochromatic touch like, indigo and blue. Pick a color and a combination that you feel most comfortable in. For example, if you do not like loud colors then there is no point picking up yellow or pink shorts – opt for a grey or a muted blue.
Of course you can work on your own vibrant combinations. It is not necessary to wear only solid colored tops with your shorts. You can experiment with the prints like floral, geometric patterns, funky designs, stripes, checks, dual tones, animal print, multicolored tops etc.
