FAQs
Start with a short-sleeve shirt and a pair of shorts. Pair a patterned shirt with solid shorts, or choose two solids in complementary colors for a more understated look.
Let one pattern be the focus. Choose a striped, plaid or printed shirt, then repeat one of its colors in your shorts to bring the outfit together.
Choose a small group of colors you enjoy wearing together. Two pairs of solid shorts and three coordinating shirts can give you six different combinations without making your wardrobe complicated.
Choose a shared color palette rather than identical pieces. Let each person pick a shirt and shorts they like, mixing solids and patterns for a coordinated look that still feels personal.
