21 Super Cute Outfits With White Shorts

Whenever summer comes around, I can’t help but think about white shorts. There are so many styles, from athletic to ruffled to belted, and each type can coordinate with a myriad of outfits.

Let’s take a look at some of the many possibilities with these cute outfits with white shorts.

1. Black Tank Top and Platform Heels With White Pleated Paper Bag Shorts

One super simple yet stylish combo is to pair white shorts with an all-black outfit.

Shorts that have some sort of flair to them — like these belted and pleated shorts — are best for this. Because of the contrast, they draw attention to the most interesting part of your outfit. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

2. White Concert Tee and Distressed White Shorts and Sneakers

I love how effortless this outfit is. It seems like something you could just pull out of your closet and put on for a no-fuss morning.

At the same time, the colors coordinate well, and the distressed look of the white shorts gives the outfit a bit of an edge that goes well with the Led Zeppelin tee. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

3. Red Ruffled Floral Tank Top and White Distressed Shorts With Blue Heels

If you’re ever stuck on ideas, floral tops make a great basis for any outfit. Oftentimes they have multiple colors in them — in this case, red, white, and blue.

Adding elements that match these colors is an easy way to build a coordinated look, like these white shorts and blue heels. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

4. Beige Ribbed Tank Top With White Paper Bag Shorts and Sandals

One simple way to create a soft, minimalist look is to pair white shorts with other light neutrals like beige or ivory. There’s no bold contrast or bright colors, just a classy outfit. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

5. Blue and White Lacy Top With White Distressed Shorts and Blue Strappy Heels

Cute lace tops like this one can be dressed up or down.

I love how these distressed white shorts and simple strappy heels make the look more casual. It’s something I could see myself wearing just about anywhere. Buy these shorts at Lulus

6. Pink Ribbed High-Neck Top With White Paper Bag Shorts and Pastel Blue Loafers

I love how unique this look is. Red and blue are generally seen as opposing colors. But the contrast is less stark since they’re in their lighter shades of pink and pastel blue in this outfit.

The white shorts then bring the whole light-colored look together. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

7. Light Brown One-Shoulder Tank Top and White Denim Shorts With Cream Strappy Heels

I loved this outfit when I first looked at it. It’s still casual enough to wear most anywhere thanks to the white shorts, but the heels and the off-the-shoulder top doll the look up a little bit. Buy these shorts at Lulus.

14. White Tie-Front Top and Matching Paper Bag Shorts With Woven Heels

15. Green Crop Top and Denim Jacket With White Tie-Front Shorts

When the weather gets a little cooler, you can pair your white shorts with a crop top and denim jacket. Add some sandals and simple accessories like stud earrings to finish the look. Buy these shorts at Pink Lily.

19. Black and White Gingham Cropped Blouse With Belted White Shorts and Black Platform Heels

I mentioned before that floral tops make a great basis for outfits, but the same is true for virtually any multicolored top.
