How to Style a Denim Shorts for a Wedding Guest
Denim Shorts aren't a wedding guest piece. Even styled with Chelsea Boots or a Silk Scarf, the formality gap is too wide—weddings call for polished separates or dresses that acknowledge the event's significance. Save these for casual occasions where the dress code allows for relaxed, sporty combinations.
