A Mom’s Guide to Styling Shorts for Elevating Casual Outfits
Have you ever found a sticky stain on your shirt out of nowhere? Or have you struggled while trying to chase your little ones around the playground? If so, give yourself a pat on the back, because this means you have been thoroughly welcomed to the world of parenting!
Due to all these small tasks, some moms forget to dress up every now and then, which is a shame because not only do they have the most beautiful job in the world, they are also the most beautiful people! So, how can you highlight the beautiful woman that’s been buried beneath the diapers, wipes, and formula?
It’s definitely easier said than done, especially with all the sacrifices moms make. Because it’s true that both priorities and body shape change when you become a mom, many mothers prefer practical yet plain clothing when it comes to errand runs, school drop-offs and pickups, and even eating out.
However, contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to give up your sense of style to embrace parenthood. After all, moms deserve to look stunning given all the time, effort, and love you give!
You can start your style journey by wearing a classic pair of shorts. Not only are they extremely convenient and comfortable, but they also have a casual-chic feel to them. Here’s how you can wear shorts to showcase the stylish mom in you:

As the idea of wearing shorts is a little worrying for many moms, some might be shy about showing off skin. There’s no need to fret, however, as the art of layering will provide the balance needed for a polished look. There are plenty of stylish coats and jackets on Woman Within that can be easily paired with any type of shorts. No matter your style preference, layering will not only help you feel more relaxed in shorts, but it can also add more sophistication and flair, making you feel more fashionable as you go through your motherly tasks for the day.
