A simple plus size summer denim shorts outfit. Coral and turquoise is my favorite color combination for summer!
Across from the color wheel, these two have a complementary relationship, which means they “pop” when next to each other.
Have no idea what I am talking about? Check out my post Color Theory for Fashionistas to learn all about how to use color in your wardrobe.
Start with a beautiful coral waterfall cardigan is a lightweight linen mix, which is the perfect weight for summer nights, and add summer basics, like a cotton tank and denim shorts. By the way, the cardi is on sale and available in sizes 4 – 30.
Or swap the cut-offs for a Bermuda denim short for more leg coverage.
Then pile on the turquoise accessories.
Finish the look with a straw tote.
If sneakers are more your style, throw on a pair of Chuck Taylor Low Tops. Either way, you are sure to be comfortably casual.

Hello Alexa,
I’ve been following you on IG, Pinterest and your website for a while now. I just want to tell you “THANK YOU!” for all the wonderful outfit ideas you put together. Many times I have stared at my closet not knowing how to put pieces together, they are one thing in my head but not a great outcome. I look forward seeing your new posts every day or just going back to previous posting to see if i have similar pieces of clothing i could put together with your guidance. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awww, thank you so much, Bianca!!! Such kind words. I really appreciate it! Thanks so much for reading. 🙂
Love your posts. You’ve given me some great ideas. With thanks!
Thanks, Manny!
Love so many of your looks! Shopping with Simply Be is difficult though as free returns means only if you live in the UK, I made that mistake once. Would you be able to give alternates to Simply Be items for us stateside followers?
Thank you!
Hi Melissa,
I will be more mindful of that. One of the reasons I sometimes don’t include alternatives is that Simply Be’s prices are so reasonable that I would be hard pressed to find something similar or even the same for less. Or the post might be sponsored, which I disclose. But I can try to find comparable items when possible.
Thanks for reading!
Love this outfit idea! I am obsessed to wear denim shorts and I got great idea here to style up with this. I can’t wait to try this style. Thanks for sharing.
