How to Style Red Shorts for the Holidays like a Pro

Hey, beautiful souls! It’s your girl Alley, here to spill all the holiday-style tea—because let’s be real, who says red shorts can’t be festive? With the holidays creeping up (or is it more like sprinting?), we’re all about keeping things cute, comfy, and chic, even in the chillier months. So, if you’re eyeing those bright, bold red shorts and thinking, “Can I pull these off for the holidays?” The answer is Y-E-S, yes, girl!

Let’s dive into how to style these bad boys 😉

Sweater Weather

Pair your red shorts with an oversized knit sweater for that perfect mix of cozy and cool. I’m talking about that chunky, slouchy sweater that gives off major fashion vibes. Go for neutral tones—think cream, beige, or soft gray—so the red can really pop. Tuck in the front of your sweater to give it some shape, and you’ve got that effortless holiday vibe down pat.

Festive Footwear

You know I love a good shoe moment. For a dressed-up holiday party look, opt for some killer ankle boots or heels in metallics like gold or silver. It’s the holidays—(and I live in Texas) go big or go home, right? The metallics will complement the red without stealing the spotlight, and it gives the whole look a bit of glam.

Layer it with a Blazer or Coat

Let’s be honest, the holidays can be a bit nippy (unless you’re celebrating somewhere tropical, in which case, lucky you!). Add an oversized plaid blazer or a tailored wool coat to bring some sophistication to your red shorts look. I love a black or charcoal gray blazer for that classic contrast. It’s like you’re saying, “Yes, I’m holiday-ready, but I’m also a boss!”

Accessorize with Sparkles

This is where you can really have fun! Since your red shorts are already making a statement, your accessories can either keep things simple or go full holiday glam. For a sleek look, stick with gold hoop earrings and a delicate necklace. If you’re feeling festive (and let’s be real, we are!), bring out those statement earrings with some holiday sparkle. Think glittering snowflakes, mini ornaments, or even candy canes! 🍬

Add a Red Lip

Okay, babe, if there’s one thing you must do when styling red shorts for the holidays, it’s rock a bold red lip. It’s like the icing on the cake! Whether you prefer matte, glossy, or a little shimmer, a red lip ties the whole look together and screams holiday chic.

Rock Your Confidence

At the end of the day, the key to nailing any look is confidence. You’re wearing red shorts for the holidays—how bold and fun is that?!

So there you have it, loves! Red shorts aren’t just for 4th of July—they’re totally ready to sleigh (pun intended) this holiday season. Mix and match these ideas, and make it your own because fashion is all about expressing your unique vibe. Now go rock those red shorts 😉

Xoxo,
