80s Camp Counselor, but make it chic in a shorts suit.
The 80s trend has been around for a bit– and while I’m mostly on board (like here and here) I’m surprised at how fully I commit to the vibe sometimes. Take this linen shorts suit, for example. Hello there, Mom Waist. No matter, I’m digging it. The longer cut of the shorts make it feel very camp counselor, you know what I mean? The olive green is definitely leaning into that, as well– but a longer hem means you can actually wear these shorts to the office (whenever we return to offices, that is).
Staying in that neutral lane, I grabbed a tan tank (a Zara find, but this one is very similar), a camel pump, and a camel statement earring. (Looks heavy, but these gems are made of leather so they’re super lightweight.) The result begs the question: am I going on safari? Or leading campers to the mess hall? Who really knows, but I’m 100% into it.
Shop the look:
This olive green shorts suit breaks apart, of course. The blazer is a classic cut, and the linen means you can easily wear it all through spring and summer. I’m thinking of pairing it with bright white denim or over a floaty black summer dress. It’ll play casually or at the office, and can even work well for a date night (whenever, you know, we get to go out for date nights again).
The shorts can be worn in their full Mom Waist glory (as I’m doing here), or you could wear a bit of a longer top and keep it untucked. Swap out pumps for sneakers if you’re really into that camp counselor vibe, or go with a flat sandal to keep things comfortable but polished.
Linking up with Elegantly Dressed and Stylish, The Fashion Canvas, I Do DeClaire, Straight A Style, Rosy Outlook + Seeking Sunshine, Pumps and Push Ups, Living on Cloud Nine, Curly Crafty Mom + Doused in Pink, Elegance & Mommyhood, Nancy’s Fashion Style, A Pocketful of Polka Dots, Shelbee on the Edge, Jersey Girl Texan Heart, and Away from the Blue.
That outfit is amazing. Shorts and blazer look so beautiful. I like them so much as well as how you combine whole outfit.

Shorts suits are so underrated, love this ensemble!
This is a chic n timeless spring look and the colour palette is soothing as well. I’m all about an olive green and nude moment. Have a good start to your week, Xo
You look outstanding- absolutely love this outfit. Totally fantastic colors and they suit you so perfectly.
Such an elegant look, Ashley! It is perfect for an office environment in warmer weather! I used to wear lots of shorts suits like this in the early 90’s. But I don’t think they fit my lifestyle so much these days, so I will just appreciate the style on others! You look amazing, my friend. Thanks for linking up.
