How to Style Lilly Pulitzer Shorts
Recently I have gotten a few requests to style Lilly Pulitzer shorts. As you may have noticed, I have not been wearing my Lilly as much as I used to. Part of the reason is just that, plain and simple, my style is changing. Another reason is that I have realized that I want to wear more “fashionable” outfits that I feel like are more creative and have more styling put into them. Not to say that Lilly is not fashionable, but it is something that in my opinion, does not require much styling. Most of the time, you just wear a single Lilly item with a solid piece to match. Not much styling skills required there.
Since it has been so requested, I sat aside some time to actually try to style my Lilly in different and creative ways.

My Accessories for Every Outfit:
1. With Lilly Pulitzer Tops
The first way I styled my Callahan shorts was with a tank top from Lilly. Lilly actually has a feature on their website where you can scroll below the shorts you purchased/are looking at online and see exactly what colors are in them to match them perfectly with their tops! If you want to use a colored top instead of a neutral, buying one from Lilly is the best way to guarantee that the colors will match perfectly, but I am sure you can find cheaper tops that will match just as well!

2. With a Plain Neutral Top
This is by far the most common way I style my Lilly shorts. This top can easily match with any of my shorts no matter what pattern or colors they have. Any plain top like this in a neutral color such as navy, white, or gray is the safest bet when you are uncertain on styling! My top is from Crown and Ivy a few years ago but Lilly also makes a similar version!

3. With a Top with Detail
For this look I am wearing another neutral Lilly Pulitzer top but this one is a little more dressy and has lace detailing down the front. I chose to include this look to show that even if your neutral top has some extra detailing such as beadwork or embroidery, it can still match your Lilly shorts!
4. With a Neutral Patterned Top
In this look I have styled my shorts with this eyelet BP top to show that even if there is a contrasting pattern on your solid color top, the patterns will mix well as long as the colors match!

5. With a Tee Shirt
This is definitely the most casual way to style your Lilly shorts. I am wearing a Jadelynn Brooke tee, but any colorful or preppy tee paired with Lilly will make the perfect casual look!
6. Next I have styled my shorts with another Lilly Pulitzer top that has a pompom trim to show that anything with tassels and pompoms will also make a cute outfit!

7. The last pair of shorts I am styling are actually from my two piece set. They are a more flowy and casual style and since they are high-waisted, they pair perfectly with simple crop tops! Also since they have no button and zipper on the front, they would pair well with a bodysuit!
