inspiration and fabric for the lisboa walking shorts

Hello there! Let’s dive into the world of fabric and styling for the Lisboa Walking Shorts, shall we? Sewing has always been one of my favorite hobbies, and I believe the choice of fabric and style can make all the difference.  For years, I stayed away from shorts, associating them with touristy outfits. But after living in bustling cities like New York and Madrid, I realized shorts could be both stylish and comfortable. Who knew? Check out this awesome example of how chic shorts can look:  Of course, shorts can be super casual too, perfect for lounging by the pool or hanging out in the backyard. But I’m more interested in how we can elevate them. Let’s explore some fabric options. Starting with the basics, think of essential shorts fabrics like cotton twill, linen, and poplin. These materials are durable, breathable, and ideal for summer. They’re also timeless pieces that belong in every wardrobe. When it comes to colors, neutrals like khaki, black, navy, and cream are always a safe bet. I personally adore these tones because they’re versatile and easy to pair with almost anything.  Toile de jouy is another fabric I absolutely love. It's classic yet playful, and I couldn't resist using it for the pattern cover. And who doesn’t love stripes? Even subtle horizontal ones can add a touch of charm, especially during summer. Now, let’s step it up a notch. Consider using luxurious fabrics like brocade or drapey rayon or silk. These options are perfect for special occasions like summer weddings. They’re also great for dressing up for work, church, or dinner. Don’t shy away from bold colors or eye-catching prints. Head to the home decor section of your local fabric store for inspiration—large-scale prints can look fantastic on smaller items like shorts.  If you’re feeling adventurous, silk shantung or dupioni could be your next go-to. These fabrics come in vibrant, rich colors and are perfect for making a statement. And remember, winter fabrics can work wonders too. Think wool crepe, wool flannel, corduroy, or even velvet for formal events. For more styling tips and fabric ideas, check out my Liesl + Co.
