SO! It is no secret that your girl isn't the biggest fan of jean shorts, but instead of living in pity-city thinking I can't be like the cool kids, I saw a chance to create something new. Aka, a whole summer lookbook with everything BUT them. Hope you enjoy!! 🥰🐺

I feel so represented by the intro of this video because I used to hate wearing and sitting down in denim shorts but denim shorts were all I had for the summer, and I thought this was just a me problem. That was a while ago and I've since revamped my style and became a big midi skirt and dress girlie so this video gets a big thumbs up from me.

[@iCharlyprime]

You and me both sis, I’ve tried sooo long to find a pair that’s comfortable but at one point I just decided to stop looking and find alternatives 😌

[@sadie61909]

Charli you literally have the most iconic energy EVER

[@iCharlyprime]

Omg thank you so much for saying this ❤️🥹

[@sadie61909]

I used to hate jean shorts, but now with the more recent (?) models with longer and wider legs, I love them. Also I prefer a less stiff denim fabric or even a thicker regular cotton or linen fabric, they're more comfy and breathable.

[@iCharlyprime]

I have yet to find a pair that works for me but who knows, maybe I will soon ☺️

[@Sandra-321]

Okay that green dress looks especially stunning on you! Just the combo of it with your hair and that cute scarf...just wow, obsessed 😍

[@iCharlyprime]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@joanaferreira1864]

i literally postponed going to the bathroom to watch this video haha it felt like my bladder was going to explode the whole time but it was definitely worth it. I love your videos btw and this one actually had great timing bc lately i have been very indecisive about what to wear this summer now and this certainly helped!! you're quite literally my saviour ty

[@iCharlyprime]

Nooo go relieve ur bladder girl haha ❤️

[@rosieevans8960]

The green dress is gorgeous on you! And (most likely) a bias cut dress, the fabric is cut on the diagonal and that's what makes it flatter and drape so well, just a tip for anyone looking for a similar dress x

[@iCharlyprime]

Oooh thanks for giving me the exact name!! ☺️

[@katharinawessa7638]

Helloooo!! Another girl from Germany and I was really happy when you mentioned the colour analysis, because it really changed my approach to style and colors. With that being said, my features are veeeeeerrrryyy similar to yours (blond-red hair, pale, except I have blue eyes) and my color analysis result was: light summer!! And as your eyes are more green and by looking at you I would think you are a light spring, thats why this green summer dress gives you the 'glow'. Of course this is just my personal opinion and my only reference was this video, so there could be a chance that you are a different season:) but I think youre a light spring!:) Loved the video, love your style!!

[@agnesnathalie]

Bruv, gym shorts are a vibe! Living in them currently. Crop top with a breezy button up and you're good to go 🕺

[@iCharlyprime]

Yeeeees exactly!!

[@shauni7218]

Thank you so much for the outfit inspo! I hope you do more summer lookbooks in the future because I love the way you style everything ❤

[@iCharlyprime]

I’ll try to plan out more then ☺️

[@tessam11]

I also recommend trouser-style shorts! They’re like wide leg pleated trousers but as shorts instead! The basically A-line cut makes them so comfortable and they don’t do any of the horrible riding up and pinching that denim shorts do. I used to hate summer because of denim shorts but after I switched to this style of shorts last year I haven’t looked back!

[@quitelight9693]

Love the jean skirts & dresses. You even pull off the babydoll, my personal nemesis. It instantly looks like maternity wear on me, which is just not what I'm going for. I thought it was because I'm tall (5' 11"+), but I"m pretty sure you are, too. I've found that wider leg openings & a looser, more casual fit goes a long way with jean shorts. Less front wedgie. Stretch in the denim goes a long way, too. This summer, I've got some very casual linen-blend cropped pants, 2 from consignment, that just look so chill with a graphic T. And are so, so much cooler (temp) than any denim.

[@takemetothesky1276]

big advocate for longish skirt for hot weather, they are so underrated and for what ??? That babydoll dress looks stunning on you, loved how you styled it 🤩 Also I have tol upcycle some garments and the dresses/skirts portion came at the perfect time to finally make up my mind on what to make

[@iCharlyprime]

So happy to hear my fits could be of inspiration to you!! ✨

[@nati__143]

midi skirt + fishnets is such a cute combo 💜 thanks for the video charli

[@gabriellazanin2274]

7:37 min that was such a genuine smile so unique

[@iCharlyprime]

Haha thank you so much 😊 (I was actually laughing at my podcast)

[@neonMETEOR]

[@Stou_Stitches]

I need more summer dresses omg (also because I love layering so I know I can wear them well into autumn). Charli I need to thank you, I bought a pair of sparkly 1461 and they're basically the best thing to ever happen to my wardrobe ✨

[@kristy_Henry]

[@paridoesupcycling]

[@zravena-1309]

U forgot pant skirts or short skirts! theyre awesome!

[@LaceyMyriah]

The “what was that?? You sounded like you just busted a nut” HAD ME. I, too, hate jean shorts, unless I’ve had them since 2009 (no joke). Give me SKIRTS in the summer babay! We love you, Charly. Thanks for sharing more magic and personality with us!! Kiss kiss you crack me up.

[@iCharlyprime]

Glad my humor has reached its target audience haha Love you too and YES to skirts!! ❤️✨

[@ida9183]

Amazing outfits as always

[@iCharlyprime]

I won’t lie I am jealous at anyone finding a pair that doesn’t just look good but is also comfy, so you better go out and rock ‘em for all of us who are still on the lookout 😉❤️

[@anneweber6370]

Pleaseeeee Tell me where did you get that Jeans skirt with the slits on the sides From? It‘s so gorgeous😍

[@kaitlynyoo4296]

Your videos make me laugh every time!!!! 😂 love the babydoll dress outfit! I’m looking for black shoes just like those. Where did you get them? 🥹🥹

[@iCharlyprime]

I’m assuming you mean the Mary janes: the brand is called ‘San Marina’ Hope you’ll find them!! ☺️

[@valerierosado9481]

Literally feel so attacked 😂 I live in Jean shorts but also I live in the desert 🌵 it’s 110F all July 😅

[@angrypirate1094]

You should definitely go with sneakers for the shorts fit next summer, the pumps or whatever they are really take away from the fit girl aesthetic which fits you really well. A slightly longer button-up would cut down on the **x factor. The long socks and the bra don't fit the long white dress in my opinion, the bra is nice with the shorter white dress that hides a bit more of your chest so it doesn't pull too much attention away from your face. The wrap-around dress needs a shoe upgrade. Also, jean shorts are good and long jean skirts are awful on their own, try a longer top thing to balance out the fits, although the one with open sides is a little less dense.

[@maaazu]

Fishnets r okay bcs of the heat but the tanlines r not it😭

[@anniecarlile2673]

the Ptolemaea scream 💀💀

[@ucean1301]

I NEED the brand of the red dress Im dead its so pretty

[@iCharlyprime]

I checked the tag and it says ‘rainbow’, the logo is ‘RB’ written in a white font with a red background Hope you’ll find it!! 🥰

[@ucean1301]

Omg thx!❤

[@amexk8953]

Heyy

[@iCharlyprime]

The tag said Asos! ☺️

[@stickbread9541]

My thighs wouldn’t allow shorts even if I wanted to 😅 I dread summer tbh.

[@AkimbooNoob]

[@neon.neutral]

How di we feel about bike shorts.... Styling them etc?

[@iCharlyprime]

I don’t hate the biker shorts but when it’s really hot out I don’t really want to wear something super tight, which is why I prefer the breathable gym shorts 😉

[@niyailieva5112]

Bestdressed walked so this girly could run

[@notthatgirll]

[@nourmoalla2197]

I just want to be your friend

[@stargazerbird]

I live in the tropics. Can confirm jeans shorts are bad. Also not really appropriate for everywhere. Love my chino shorts and wide leg linen but you can’t beat a slip dress when it’s so hot you can’t move without a sweat breaking out.

[@iCharlyprime]

100% agree ☺️

[@croissantexpert]

you know, i never thought about how jean shorts are basically all the worst parts of jeans 🥴

[@taya._]

it had to be a man that created the crotch of jean shorts (not to be that girl but likeee) do I believe a woman with put me through that torture NO (that being said my jean shorts will be used this summer smh)

[@slena]

not you putting ur friend gabby on blast... putting my friend sheima on blast bc she left me to have a rich and fulfilling life in KENYA. anyways, i am a jorts defender sorryyy i think my legs look rly good in them lol and also depending on the cut and style they can be comfy. i am on the look out for some linen pieces tho! i've been scouring vinted et al to find the perfect linen pants im at a point where i could stop people in the street to ask them where they got theirs lmfao great video as always

[@iCharlyprime]

If the jorts work for you then that’s great!! And I can relate to the linen struggle so damn hard, it’s ROUGH out here but we gotta keep on searching 🤞🏻🤞🏻
