Before we dive in, I want to put it out there that I think fashion "rules" are silly and outdated. I think we're all past the point of letting anyone else's opinion dictate what we
wear or don't wear because, well, style is so personal. That being said, I'm sure you can think of a few fashion mistakes you've been warned of before, whether it be wearing white past Labor Day or mixing gold and silver jewelry. One of these arbitrary style mistakes that has managed to stick with me for years is wearing shorts, especially denim shorts, with boots.
I can't tell you where I first read this tidbit but it's remained in the recesses of my memory for years now and I think it's finally time that we do away with it for good. I'm not alone here. Fashion people are styling their shorts with tall and mid-calf boots more than ever this summer and it's putting the final nail in the coffin for this outfit "mistake". Ahead, see all the cool shorts with boots outfits that are popping off on the 'gram right now and get inspired to dive into the combo yourself.
