Campus Trend Spotter: High Waisted Shorts (with belts!)

Why it’s cute: By tucking in your shirt and belting right above the waistline, you can effortlessly accent the smallest part of your body. In addition to being flattering on almost any body type, belting your high waisted shorts is an easy way to make a simple outfit elegantly mod.

How to wear it: Whether you love animal prints or cannot get enough of bright colors, there are numerous ways to wear this ensemble. Make sure to have fun and stay true to yourself, whether that means channeling your inner ’90s style or rocking timeless pieces.

Who we’ve spotted:


























Sophomore International Studies major Risi Ademola (above) is wearing high waisted, slightly-ripped jean shorts with a light brown belt. She pairs her plain white tank with an adorable combination of gold bracelets. Topping off her outfit, she’s carrying a snakeskin wallet and wearing a cheetah print bowed-headband.


























Sophomore Political Science major Tara Webb-Dempsey wears her light gray tank and navy shorts with a chocolate brown belt. The mix of dark colors perfectly accentuates her tickle-me-pink nails, patterned tote and stacked bangles. Her mix of colors and uniquely patterned bag completes her look.
