Get #Equipped for Summer with Levi’s 501 Shorts

To me, nothing says summer more than lazing around in a breezy top, comfy flats and cut off shorts. This look can take you from a suburban bike ride to tanning at the cottage on a dock, and after a long, harsh winter in Canada, we deserve it! While I love wearing breezy maxi dresses when the temperature heats up, I also love how casual and versatile a pair of denim shorts can be. I own several, and love my vintage pair of Levi’s 501 shorts, so I decided to pick up a new iteration on the classic to help me get equipped for summer.

I’m wearing Levi’s 501 Shorts in Slash, hawaiian print top c/o Persunmall, pastel leather brogues from Amsterdam (similar here), Michael Kors Pressly watch, blue evil eye macrame bracelet from my recent trip to Athens, silver spike bracelet c/o Persunmall.

Ever since I lived in Holland a couple years ago, one of my favourite passtimes is riding around my quiet neighbourhood. Sadly, my omafiets (grandma bike in Dutch – which actually belonged to my grandmother), is in storage at my cottage, so I’ve been borrowing my boyfriend’s road bike, which is much too tall for me! While I used to wear skirts and heels in Holland, in Canada, I prefer to wear a pair of denim shorts. The 501 style is long enough and ACTUALLY COVERS MY BUM (all caps was necessary), while still being a cute, sexy length. This pair is new, so I’m hopping more thread fraying will happen soon!

For a cute weekend summer look, I like pairing denim shorts with a cute tee, and I love the scalloped tulip back of this one. Flats are a must, and when I’m not wearing Keds sneakers, brogues are an elegant alternative that are still functional.

I always wear a helmet, (I put it one before riding), so I like to wear my hair back. I love this romantic twist ponytail, because it keeps my hair away from my face.

I look forward to wearing these classic Levi’s 501 shorts to summer concerts, at the cottage and at the beach!
