Shorts & Sweater Weather Is the Best Weather
When the summer weather is unsure of itself, your wardrobe is likely to be as well. The temperature shifts between seasons and especially during summer during daytime and nighttime can be the trickiest to dress for. That is unless you revel in the chance to channel this uncertainty into something that looks good. Enter — the sweater and shorts combo.
Exuding comfort in its finest, warmer-weather-is-on-the-way form, the sweater and shorts look is one of the best things about the weather right now, sartorially speaking that is. We're not sure why, but your plush grey crewneck looks far better matched up with a pair of loud shorts than that tired pair of denim jeans.

Featuring the likes of some of the best brands in our shop, we've solved this summer style conundrum with most budgets in mind.
Scroll for summer sweater and shorts combos.
All Black
An all-black look shouldn't only be the reserve of your fall wardrobe. It also works perfectly in summer, too, when the weather hasn't quite reached its white tee peak. This pairing of an heavyweight black hoodie from New Zealand brand Entire Studios and a black pair of running shorts by Satisfy is what we're wearing right now.
Streetwear Tested
When it comes to the best sweater and shorts combo, crewneck works with pretty much with anything. But since it is a safe choice, going for a bright color like this Awake NY will do the trick in elevating the outfit. Pair it with an all-time classic double knee shorts from Carhartt WIP in white to balance the color combination, and you are good to go.
Short Shorts
Short shorts are uncomfortable territory for some, but a great summer look if done right, ask Paul Mescal if in doubt. You've got to be careful on your choice of sweater, though. Too baggy and you risk being mistaken for having forgotten your pants. Pairing a gorgeous Dries Van Noten v-neck sweater in light blue with adidas x Wales Bonner beige nylon shorts is a good gateway.
Techwear meets Japan
If you're not the understated type, here's a duo that offers a full assault of the color senses — one that'll see you through spring and all of the summer. Japanese label Auralee offers a high-quality blue mesh knit pullover, while Arc’teryx VeilanceVoronoi Short Black makes a case for always having a pair of technical high-qulaity shorts in your summer rotation.
Earth-Tones
Simple, entry-level combo for styling sweater and shorts this summer is paring this Bonsai oversized knit sweater with Auralee black shorts. A sophisticated look perfect for evening drinks this summer.
