2 Tempting Sweater + Shorts Combos You Can Try, Which Would You Wear?

Do you watch 90210?

Every now and then, whenever I catch it on TV, I do. I also find one of the show’s leads, Shenae Grimes, quite a cutie. Late last year, I saw a pic of her in a Nordic sweater + shorts combo and thought it was a really wonderful outfit to copy. She paired it with retro loafers but you can always wear it with heels or booties if you want.

The combination isn’t something you can wear in a snowy place during winter but it could work in fall with tights or over the knee socks. Here are those two outfits I put together with Shenae’s look in mind. Check these out and tell me which you’d love to wear:

Retro Nordic Prep – Option 1

Charcoal & Brown

With Shenae’s tan colored retro shoes, you can do a classic ensemble by pairing it with charcoal shorts, a silk white button down (with sleeves folded up), and topping it with a muted brown Nordic inspired sweater. Keep the collar displayed instead of under the sweater. Make sure you wear some nice ankle high socks to give your look a girly twist.

Sweater: ONE By Line Figure 8 Sweater, USD115 (was USD165) / Shirt: Equipment Signature Blouse, USD208 / Shorts: Rag & Bone Cavalry Culotte Shorts, USD255

Retro Nordic Prep – Option 2

A Touch of Bright

For the second option, you can channel Shenae but give the look a little bit of extra by using a bright yellow shirt. Pair it with navy shorts and a classic black n’ white Nordic inspired sweater to tone down the pop of color. Don’t forget to wear ankle socks with those vintage looking tan loafers to keep the whole style looking polished
